A turn-based strategy in which we hit the middle of a conflict between three vampire clans and we manage our empire and lead our troops to clash with adversaries. This is complemented by cards that provide our subordinates with special powers and effects.

Checkpoint Gaming: 5 / 10 by Tom Quirk

I still feel like Immortal Realms: Vampire Wars has some potential behind its flaws. The idea of a more streamlined strategy game, with less of a resource management and empire-building focus, is something that could be appealing for newcomers to the strategy genre. However, its huge maps and clunky combat drag the experience down. Furthermore, without multiplayer or a map editor, there is not really much more to the experience than the campaign, which is only somewhat engaging. Immortal Realms: Vampire Wars certainly has enjoyable elements, but feels difficult to recommend to fans of the strategy genre.

Nintendo Life: 6 / 10 by PJ O'Reilly

Immortal Realms: Vampire Wars is a reasonably fun turn-based strategy affair with an excellent setting and some unique ideas of its own. The streamlined nature of its gameplay makes it pleasingly zippy stuff that's well-suited to strategy newcomers but a lack of real depth, a clunky UI and some dodgy enemy AI means the fun here is, unfortunately, pretty short-lived overall for anyone but genre enthusiasts and vampire fans.

PlayStation LifeStyle: 7.5 / 10 by Paulmichael Contreras

Immortal Realms: Vampire Wars is a strategy game that has the perfect atmosphere for the season we currently find ourselves in, and we're not strictly talking about Halloween here! Some cumbersome menu navigation and mostly unchallenging AI means that without even local hot-seat multiplayer, players looking for more challenging opponents will unfortunately need to look elsewhere. Still, console gamers who are desperate for more strategy games should look to Immortal Realms: Vampire Wars to get their fix, and at a wallet-friendly price point of $49.99 to boot.

Technical aspects

Immortal Realms: Vampire Wars is a turn-based strategy game enriched with elements taken from card games. The title was developed by Palindrome Interactive and published by Kalypso Media.

Plot

Immortal Realms: Vampire Wars takes us on a journey into the fantasy world of Nemire, divided between three clans of vampires. The first one are the Dracul, whose representatives live in the Warmont region and feed on the blood of their subordinates. The second are tge Nosfernus controlling the barren, defiled lands of Mourterra, and the third are the mysterious Moroia, which combines blood with magic and devotes themselves to dark rituals in the cold wilderness of Esain. Although the factions lived in harmony for a long time, with the arrival of blood moon, the world of Nemire was shaken by another civil war. The player lands in the middle of the conflict.

Mechanics

In Immortal Realms: Vampire Wars, the action was shown from bird's eye view. The game is set on two planes, the first of which is the management of the empire, which we perform in the Kingdom mode. We can move our troops around the map, recruit new units and unlock technologies that increase the combat potential of our clan. The second, the Combat mode, takes place when our subordinates meet enemy troops. Then the camera moves close to the battlefield and we have to be tactical in our moves.

In addition, each clan has its own deck of cards to give it an advantage over the opponents. As we progress, we expand the range of our cards, and their effects can be combined into powerful combinations.

Game modes

The pillar of the game is a twelve-mission story campaign, in which the events are presented from the perspective of four vampire lords. In addition, the Sandbox module and the random skirmish mode are waiting to be checked.
