The Immortal is an action game released in 1990 by Sandcastle. The player controls a wizard navigating isometric dungeons, combining sword combat with magic spells. The game features real-time action gameplay where players must defeat enemies and solve environmental puzzles to progress. The combat system allows for close-range sword attacks and distance magic, with spells serving both offensive and puzzle-solving purposes. The dungeon structure divides the game into separate levels, each with distinct challenges and enemy types. Players manage their character's health and magic resources while exploring, requiring strategic decisions about spell usage. The isometric perspective provides a three-dimensional view of the environment, allowing for tactical positioning during combat encounters.
