The Immortal is an isometric action-adventure game developed by Sandcastle Productions and published by Electronic Arts in 1990. Players take on the role of an elderly wizard who ventures into a perilous dungeon to find his missing mentor Mordamir and uncover its secrets. Blending action, adventure, and RPG elements, it features real-time combat, puzzles, NPC interactions, spellcasting, and diverse items—each with unique effects that can even cause unexpected deaths. Renowned for its impressive graphics and well-designed levels, each stage has a dedicated save system to help players navigate deadly traps and enemies. With varied environments, the story unfolds gradually through dreams and character dialogues: short but full of surprises. While the manual offers hints, players still rely on heavy trial and error to explore the dungeon. A single misstep can lead to sacrifice, crushing, drowning, impalement, entrapment in spider webs, being devoured by bugs, or difficulty recovering health after combat. However, battles are limited, making every victory or clever enemy evasion deeply rewarding. Puzzles are varied and unique, from using specific items to reflect light and reveal hidden exits, to planting spores that poison everyone in a room, to creatively using fireballs to evade unseen foes. Though the game is linear, different choices lead to different outcomes—killing or aiding certain characters shapes the plot. Overall, The Immortal is a highly challenging, entertaining, and immersive game perfect for players who love exploration and puzzle-solving.
