The Immortal – The Amiga Dungeon Crawler That Wanted You Dead

️ The Immortal (1990) – Commodore 64 Isometric Action Adventure Classic Released in 1990, The Immortal is a dark isometric action-adventure game developed by Sandcastle and published by Electronic Arts for the Commodore 64. Players take on the role of an ageing wizard descending into a deadly dungeon to rescue his mentor, Mordamir, uncovering a grim story of ancient civilizations, betrayal, and the pursuit of immortality along the way. The game spans eight perilous dungeon levels packed with traps, puzzles, monsters, and environmental hazards. Progress relies heavily on experimentation and learning from failure, with death often serving as a lesson rather than a setback. Exploration rewards careful observation, item collection, and cautious movement through the labyrinthine rooms. Combat is slow, deliberate, and unforgiving, requiring precise timing and smart use of magic rather than button-mashing. Encounters are tense and often brutal, with graphic death animations reinforcing the constant sense of danger and vulnerability that defines the experience.
