Immortal realms vampire wars walkthrough12/7/2023 Your Lord will do the bulk of your damage, and as expected you want to protect your back-line and archers. In battle mode, each Lord has a certain objective to complete to become more powerful. These were a HUGE help to me, but at the same time also put my units at risk of being flanked. There are certain “buffs” on the map that will give you benefits such as health gain each turn, or extra armor if your unit stands in one of the squares near the buff icon. You’ll have a pre-battle stage where you can set your units up before moving them across the gridded battlefield. Once you complete Act 1 and move to Act 2 in the Dracul campaign, the difficulty really ramps up. While I did have fun, I felt like they were quite unforgiving. The battles are where I think Immortal Realms struggles most. Managing your AP and blood is key to being successful in Immortal Realms. Playing cards uses up blood, and certain missions will start you out losing blood with each turn. The Esain map in my Moroia sandbox adventure.īlood is also important to keep track of, just like AP, most things you do on the map require blood. Moving across the map is done in turns, and it’s pretty self-explanatory and straightforward. Your Lord will also have a blood pool, and depending on if you’re in a blood deficit or not, actions may also drain blood. You use action points (AP) to do this, and you are limited to how many actions you can take based on your AP, including movement. While on the map, you can interact with buildings, choosing from multiple actions such as feed, heal, purchasing particular items from the blacksmith, or taking a card from the library. The music adds to the depth, bringing it all to life. I imagined that I was truly in a deep, dark forest somewhere in Transylvania while moving through the Dracul campaign, or in the snowy hills of Romania while playing with the Moroia sandbox. The maps are also artistically beautiful. A little tweaking by developer Palindrome Interactive to make the cards interact more efficiently would be much appreciated. More often than not, I’d find myself grabbing the wrong card, or thinking that I grabbed it but when I dragged it out to play it didn’t come out of the deck. Something else to note is how the cards interact when you hover over them. Perhaps it is a lack of variety on cards you’re offered, but most of the time I felt like I was reaching for the same 3-4 cards. However, the cards themselves just don’t really feel like they make a huge impact on the game while in the map mode. I really feel like they brought each clan to life with both the style, and coloring Dracul feels dark, bloody, and spooky (I can still feel the glare of that creepy, bloody eyeball from the Dracul campaign!), Nosferatus feels plague-like and evil, and Moroia feels elegant and magic-influenced. The artwork on the cards in Immortal Realms is top notch, and the artists did a great job with the animation. The artwork and detail on the cards is stunning, they did a great job. You can check out my in-depth beta preview from a few weeks ago here: You can play through the story based linear Campaign, play your own way with any faction and any map in Sandbox, or build your own war maps to battle on in Skirmish. The clichés totally work in Immortal Realms, and it’s a fun new addition to the vampire game genre.įor those of you who don’t know what Immortal Realms: Vampire Wars is, it’s a turn-based strategy game, with some card game elements tossed in the mix. It’s got a lot of vampire clichés in it, from the names of the clans (Dracul, Nosferatus, Moroia) to the predictable storytelling, to some of the one liners that your Lord will say while in battle, but sometimes the oldies are the goodies. I am instantly drawn to just about anything that involves vampires, and even though turn based strategy isn’t my strong suit, I had to check this one out. I was happy to dive back into the dark and bloody world of Immortal Realms: Vampire Wars this week to check out the full release of the game by Kalypso Media.
