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. In short: You want to see what challenge lies in the next room. The puzzles range from simple avoidance of traps to the correct use of items; you collect objects in an inventory. Every now and then, The Immortal surprises with a special challenge. For example, you've got to ride a magic carpet through a hallway full of fire traps, or ride a barrel on an underground river. The dungeon isn't empty: some friedlies may have valuable information or trade items, the nasty sort of guys will attack. Combat is fought man-to-man on a special screen. Your adversary indicates his next attack a few seconds before he executes it, so you've got time to react appropriately. You can dodge to the left or the right, as well as attack from these two directions. There is no save option in the game, of course, but you may restart each level as often as you like. Levels can be skipped by entering passwords.Read full review
This game contains many detailed scenes of mature artwork and animation, the very first of its caliber, and definitely has stood the test of time to become 'immortal' in its own right. The MS-DOS version is the best one to get, as it contains added fight scenes and other miscellaneous detail when compared to the original version for Apple computers (yes, this was originally designed for the Apple II GS!) The Sega Genesis version is also noteworthy as a niche, and rare title for the system. This is perhaps the best game to own for the Genesis! This game is far better than most titles of the late 80s and early 90s!

Really hard, really old school and really generic. In all honesty, thats all I have to say. Quick death traps, crappy controls, poor combat, but a charm to it because of it's difficulty and attention to detail. At the very least, I would recommend it for nostalgia sake. Otherwise, don't bother it.
