Will you survive the dungeons?

It's incredibly ironic that in a game called "The immortal" you spend time dying all the time. This game is essentially a dungeon crawler, where you go through rooms, solve puzzles, use items, fight enemies. I will warn you right away, that this game is absolutely and completely unfair with the player, you have to pay attention, read things and develop strategies on how to overcome challenges/obstacles. This game is, in essence, made to kill and destroy you, which is why it feels incredibly rewarding to progress in it and finishing it is a feat in itself. It has that certain elusive feel of "Oh well, what will happen if I try this?" and "Let me play just a bit more, I want to get further in the game!". Just remember: there is absolutely no shame in looking at a walk through if you really need it, the game doesn't play fair, so don't play it fairly in return. You have been warned.

Played on the Megadrive

Absolutely loved this on the Megadrive (which I still have) the music is excellent also. You will die more from the puzzle traps than the creatures you encounter. But all you do is draw the path you take in a cell and redo differently. Remember this was before guides and we had dialup internet. Classic

Holy Smokes

I have never played this game before in my life. I have a history in 90's PC Games. This game is hilarious. You find yourself in some old school battles beaconing of Quest For Glory 1, with those same epic Midi tunes. Then after the long abstract battle, you take two steps and fall down a bit below a random tile and are doomed. Little more you can ask for if you want some old school dungeon business. Geet it.

Interesting, but copy protection sucks

The Immortal is one of the most interesting games I've encountered in terms of how it mixes adventure and action in a fantasy setting. The adventuring aspects come from managing inventory and combining and exploiting items you find in specific ways to solve puzzles. You'll reference pieces of maps to figure out the locations of traps, equip fireballs to throw at enemies, etc. If you run into an enemy, you get sucked into a separate action interface that is something between a JRPG encounter screen and a fighting game arena. Within the arena space, you must time dodges to avoid enemy attacks and throw enough attacks to damage the enemy without exhausting your stamina. It's not very challenging compared to avoiding dying to puzzles, but it's not boring either. There's alot of death in The Immortal. This would be fine if death didn't force you back to the start screen. You can choose to continue from the start screen, but each time you have to enter a password for any level you wish to travel to. And, every time you try to go to a level, you have to deal with the annoying copy protection. The copy protection involves referencing images in the manual, and then providing letters from a box placed next to any given image. If there were an updated version of this game, with saves or checkpoints or the like, I'd happily give that version a shot and probably end up recommending it. However, the current version of The Immortal is so old-school I can only recommend it with one big caveat: You should avoid this game if dying alot and keeping track of copy protections in addition to passwords every time you want to play sounds tedious.

Where are the sound effects?!

I played this game on the Genesis and the sound and music were awesome! I bought the GOG version and there are no sounc effects! The battles have no flavor and the only sound you hear is the background music. This game had movement sound, interactions with the environment, and combat sound effects. This lack of sound lowers my play experence significantly. Am I the only one with this problem or is it the same for everyone else?
