Key Features of "Immortal Legacy"
Grand Napoleonic Era Narrative
Napoleon's conquest unleashed horrors far beyond war itself.
Players will assume the role of William Dossett—a soldier of the Grande Armée resurrected from death. Guided by Napoleon's ghostly voice, he traverses devastated battlefields, sprawling mountains, and cities consumed by a bizarre plague.
This corruption also exists within William's bloodline—it is precisely what granted him the power to return to life.
First-Person Soulslike Combat
A high-difficulty combat system centered on stamina management and skill, combined with One More Level's accumulated development experience in first-person action games, delivers a more oppressive and immersive combat experience for players.
Every death is a step towards mastery. Players must continuously master parrying, dodging, and impactful execution moves, gradually learning enemy attack patterns through repeated battles.
Dual-wield Weapons and Supernatural Powers
Combine Napoleonic-era weapons with William's powerful supernatural abilities to create fluid and versatile combat styles.
Players can simultaneously use period-appropriate weapons such as rapiers and muskets, combined with William's supernatural powers, to deal with different types of enemies and combat scenarios.
Metroidvania-style Exploration
Utilize William's newly acquired mobility to navigate through Napoleon's Eternal Guard, corrupted by plague, seeking breakthroughs. Explore cautiously, uncover secrets hidden in the environment, forge new paths, and survive amidst the decaying ruins left by this endless war.
Outstanding Audio-Visual Presentation
The game constructs an unsettling visual style through dramatic lighting and mature, somber themes.
The game's original soundtrack was co-created by composer Arkadiusz Reikowski, known for his work on "Silent Hill 2 Remake," "The Medium," and the "Layers of Fear" series, along with in-house composer Oskar Bała, providing musical accompaniment for this world filled with war, horror, and supernatural forces.
