So The Immortal—this NES game looks simple at first glance, but don’t let that fool you. You play as this wizard’s apprentice, diving into a dungeon that’s basically a death trap disguised as architecture. Every step feels like a puzzle: step wrong, and you’ll get impaled, burned, or worse. The isometric view makes it tricky to judge jumps, which… yeah, you’ll learn that the hard way.

What’s cool is how it mixes spells, items, and timing—like, you’ll freeze an enemy with magic just to slip past them, or use a mirror to deflect a laser. But half the fun is dying in ridiculous ways and figuring out what not to do next time. It’s brutal but weirdly satisfying when you finally outsmart a room. Just don’t expect hand-holding—this one makes you work for it.
