Playing Through My Evercade Collection Part 9: Piko Interactive Collection 1

Onto yet another game that basically falls squarely into the 'Cult' category. A game with a lot of ambition, but not quite the technical ability. At its core, The Immortal is a pretty basic dungeon crawler action RPG, theres puzzles, enemies to beat up and treasure to find.

Lets get some bad stuff out of the way first, this game absolutely is not a looker when it comes to the environments, you'll be basically just looking at the same identical type of corridors with the same few enemies to contend with for most of the game.

Also the game is BRUTALLY hard at times when it comes to traps and tricks. Do a puzzle slightly wrong? Death. Hit any of the multitude of traps? Death. Take slightly too long leaving the first room? Death death death.

That said, there is some good here. Once you get used to the game's twisted logic and start happily making use of those save states, its quite fun to explore, gather and get to the end of the trials ahead. Also the combat, although quite simple, can be quite fun.

So yeah, theres good, theres bad, its quite a niche little thing. I think its worth checking out but I wouldnt be surprised if you go 'ick no'.
