The Immortal

released on Dec 31, 1990

When nightmares come to life... You discover you're not immortal! You're a mighty wizard in search of your lost master, Mordamir. Venture into the dungeon and slove the mysteries of each level. Unravel the secrets of The Immortal! The Immortal is an isometric action-adventure game. Your old mentor Mordamir has disappeared. Probably kidnapped. You're not too sure where he might be, but a dungeon is always a good place to look, so you seek out the nearest one and plunge into its depths. Beware: 8 levels of isometric death await. The Immortal is the prototype of a trial-and-error game. Progress is made by encountering a hazard, dying, solving the problem, encountering the next hazard. To solve a level, you have to know its traps and their patterns by heart. As frustrating as this may sound (it is), The Immortal quite cleverly balances annoyance with curiosity and graphical rewards.

I mean, the entire game is a masterpiece. The graphics, the soundtrack, the animations, the story and the way it is told, the characters...
It's one of those survival horror games that will really put you on the edge, almost always putting something life threatening in your way
The puzzles are pretty smart too. Sometimes the way you move can be troublesome and trigger some trap or something, but aside from that, thinking the puzzles and solving them is a pretty solid experience. The password system is also great, since it gives you every item you need to have in any given room you put the code for. Every password game should be like that, because that's the point of having passwords I think. No reason to "skip ahead" with zero items.

The only really bad part is that worm detector part. Fuck that part.

Yeah, this one ain't for me. Felt too trial and error for me. Sprites animations are pretty impressive!

Funny dialogue, shit gameplay on NES

This game hates you, it will punish you for looking at something incorrectly, for walking on the wrong pixel, probably even for no reason at all. Fighting an enemy is a war of attrition with no hope of ever mastering combat. Imagine Diablo but with a hundred pissed-off goblins stabbing you in the kidneys every time you ask "but what am I supposed to do?"

Absolutely mean game. I respect how ruthless it is to you tho.

Battle theme is a bop.

Misleading name. You die easily.
