Games will never stop evolving. They will always push the envelope, going forward and moving ever faster into the future. Genres rise and fall in popularity; some are even created after one game completely changes the industry. Immortal Planet aims to recapture what we love about Dark Souls, which itself was a tribute to games gone by. And while the two look nothing alike, the similarities are certainly there – both are frustrating, both require a deeper strategy, and both provide the challenges that many of us miss from our childhood. Together, the two keep the flame alive for those harder-than-hell games, always enticing us with their torturous ways.

Critic reviews
- 8.0It’s one of the most effective efforts at a ‘Souls tribute that I’ve played because it understands and implements several of the design ideas that made those games successful, rather than focusing on obvious features like difficult combat. It’s also a good game in its own right, which is obviously far more important. For gameplay, story, and replay value, I’d recommend this game to anyone who likes a good ARPG, as well as anyone looking for another souls-like to play.
- 7.5Immortal Planet is a fine game but the biggest complaint I have are the controls, which make it more frustrating than it actually is. It has strategic combat and slow progression with rage quitting moments as well as drawing inspiration from the Souls genre. If you're fine with the limited control customisation then do check out this game for a never ending hack and slash adventure.
- 8.0There are a few moments of frustration, but there are also times where it – dare I say it – surpasses Dark Souls in my mind. At the very least, it’s a colourful, compelling, sci-fi Souls-like, and a great way to pass the time while waiting for FromSoftware’s next announcement.
- 6.0Slightly above average or simply inoffensive. Fans of the genre should enjoy it a bit, but a fair few will be left unfulfilled.
- Unforgiving and tense, Immortal Planet is the essential 2D Souls-like game.
