Immortal Planet – Release Trailer:

“Immortal Planet is a love letter to Dark Souls. After making Ronin, published by Devolver Digital in 2015, I wanted to create a game that would be my own take on emerging genre of souls-like games. For me, the core of a souls-like game is the methodical combat where patience and focus are much more important than reflexes. Stamina management is a huge part of that, but I always felt that there can be a lot more done to it to make it more interesting,” – said Tomasz Wacławek, the game’s creator.

In Immortal Planet, the player sees how much stamina enemies have. So you can plan the approach around that, but also exploit it. Like performing a dodge towards an exhausted enemy will let you bash or stun. It’s a risky tactic, as bashing an enemy with full stamina will stun the player instead. There are many items and spells in the game that use the stamina mechanic. These all happen innovative ways. So cryo spells will damage stamina before affecting health. Or stims that instantly restore stamina. While attacks deal bonus damage to enemies with low stamina.

“During the playthrough, players will explore tombs inhabited by different groups of immortals. With every one of them having a different take on how eternity should be spent. So there is huge variety of enemy types and environments to discover. The player’s goal will be to figure out what happened to the planet’s inhabitants. Along with how to escape from its curse of immortality,” – Wacławek added.
