Immortal: Unchained Reviews
The addition of guns to the "souls" formula and a Sci-Fi setting make for an interesting concept on paper, but poor enemy AI, clunky menus, repetitive combat and very poorly designed levels result in an experience that's more frustrating than fun.
Immortal Unchained has aspirations of becoming the next Dark Souls, but clunky controls and sub-par combat prevent the game from even getting close to that lofty goal.
Toadman Interactive's new Souls-like Immortal: Unchained throws firearms into the increasingly predictable genre of gloomy action-RPGs.
It wants to be Dark Souls with guns, but gameplay is so repetitive and boring, you will be probably ennuied soon.

A solid game in need of some better balancing, Immortal can be unfair but it’s still worth a play for Souls fans.
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.
Strangely enough, I like quite a few elements of Immortal: Unchained; the deeper focus on story is personally welcomed, even if admittedly it got a little confusing at times, and the level design is honestly some of the best I've seen in a Soulslike experience that didn't come from From themselves.
And although there are many deficiencies, balance and design problems in this game, developers manage to keep the users' attention due to the well-designed atmosphere, strong opponents and the Souls concept, where battles with dangerous enemies are filled with adrenaline.

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.
Immortal Unchained is really a mess of a game. It has some good points and bad points. I really wanted to enjoy it, but it’s clunky controls, repetitive gameplay and mediocre content left me just wanting to forget about the whole experience.
Immortal: Unchained only wants to feed on big brands such as Bloodborne, Dark Souls or The Surge. But the developers couldn't understand what makes these titles so special and entertaining. The Xbox One version is pulled down by technical problems. We recommend the title for two out of ten points. It would be better for you to wait a few months for a better hardcore action RPG.
