Despite not having its own identity, Immortal Unchained offers exactly what it proposes in its playable aspect. Any fan of 'Dark Souls'- like games will appreciate this game for its level design and fine tuned difficulty, despite its technical shortcomings.

With a bit more polish this could have been a great game; the components are all there, but it manages to just stumble over the last little hurdle.

This has to be one of the more original Dark Souls-like games available, and anyone looking for a fresh take on the formula will be able to find enjoyment in Immortal: Unchained as long as they are willing to overlook a fair lack of polish.

Dark Souls was so popular, not simply because of its daunting challenge and difficulty, but its balanced and fair gameplay once you learned from your mistakes. That doesn’t really exist here as prominently with the major change to ranged combat. Sure it has the difficulty, but it’s lacking the soul and fun for the most part. This immortal should have stayed chained.

There's room for a direct-to-TV rip of the Dark Souls formula, but at a current asking price of $50, Immortal: Unchained is impossible to recommend.

Immortal: Unchained tries to survive in a futuristic Dark Souls universe but it dies trying due to its terrible attempt to be hard and its problems when we try to manage the histamine bar.

Immortal: Unchained fails pretty much in every aspect, from its strongly unbalanced gameplay to its laughable animations and many technical problems, crashes included.
