This is a game that looks and sound beautiful. It tells the story of a one armed blacksmith who is on an impossible quest (like many heroes from the fairy tales). This story is well written and it is full of choices that impact the game. There’s a nice variety of items, weapons and equipment in the game. And they are weird and unique (for example you get to use a wheel as a shield, or you can equip talismans as the finger of a vampire, or a scalp). The action part of the game is good, simple, not to complicated, but good. You have two attacks, a special action, dodge, and you can use magical items. It’s easily to observe that the game is done with a lot of love and attention to details. I really hope to see more games from this team of developers.
This is a very atmospheric turn based strategy game. It is inspired from the vampires mythology, with bats, wolves, witches, vampires fighting against each other, against other fantastic beasts and against humans. Blood is the main currency in this game, and with it you can cast powerful spells like healing your army, recruiting troops... I love the little details from this game, for example you can recruit troops from villages with the condition that the village has at least some population. When you are in a village, you can choose to sacrifice the villagers and drink their blood to replenish your blood pool, or you can recruit some of the villagers into your army. But you cannot do both. The game looks familiar in many ways: it kinda looks like a modern board game (with cards to play, and a board with predefined spaces on it), but it is also a classic TBS video game (the cards are spells that you cast) in the veins of Age of Wonders and Heroes of Might and Magic. If you like thesee kind of games and the vampires mythology, you will surely like Immortal Realms Vampire Wars. The battles are good and strategic, you can use flanking, cast spells... The battle map is not huge, but it is enough for you to create flanking strategies, to force you to protect your archers. You also care about your units, and you don't want to loose them, as they evolve and get better. It's been a while since I have played such an atmospheric pc game, thank you developers, and keep up the good work!
