›Story

In an alternate universe shaped by Norse mythology, the Nine Realms and their races were created by a central artifact called the Monolith. Generations of conflict and an old prophecy have left the realms collapsing, with the Prime civilization falling to ruin as an undead army spreads across the universe, signalling the End Times. An unnamed Prisoner, suffering from amnesia after a long imprisonment, is released by Aras, the Prime caretaker of the Monolith, in a last attempt to hold off this fate. Tasked with repairing the Monolith by restoring the Nexus Orbs that power it, the Prisoner travels across worlds ranging from a lifeless snow planet to a human forest world and an abandoned homeworld, fighting through the undead that now overrun them.

Gameplay

Immortal: Unchained is a third-person action game heavily inspired by the hardcore action role-playing game gameplay of the Dark Souls series, with a comparable difficulty level and many identical mechanics. The main deviation is the focus on firearms and gun combat instead of melee combat with medieval fantasy weaponry, although close combat weapons such as swords, axes, and clubs still exist in a more basic form. Enemies have critical hit locations (typically the head and a glowing weak point on their backs) which can be targeted for significantly increased damage.

Story

Immortal: Unchained takes place in an alternate universe with a backstory heavily inspired by Norse mythology. At the beginning of time, the Nine Realms and Nine Races were created by the Monolith, a stone artifact at the center of the universe with a bas relief of a tree on its face. The Prime and Azurian races went to war over control of the Monolith, with the Primes emerging victorious and taking their place as the rulers of the realms. The Prime's leader, King Naro, enlisted the aide of a Degonite warrior named Cathal to help fight the Azurians, to the objection of his sons Orin and Naylon.

Due to their animosity towards him, the other Primes forbid Cathal from reproducing; instead, he tears out part of his heart and splits it into three pieces, which he uses to bring to life three children; Malog, Arlen, and Iska. Using the power of the Monolith, the three Oracles foretell a prophecy in which the three children of Cathal will bring about the downfall of the Primes.
