Rogue-like side-scrolling beat ’em up IMMORTAL: And The Death That Follows announced for Switch

Mishura Games has announced IMMORTAL: And The Death That Follows, a rogue-like side-scrolling beat ’em up inspired by fighting games and anime from the 90s. We’ll be seeing it on Switch, though a release window hasn’t been confirmed.

Here’s an introduction to the story in IMMORTAL: And The Death That Follows:

Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Fudo, the King of Wisdom and former warden of Buddha’s prison camp for demigods will learn humility as he is incarcerated with the rest for his betrayal of truth.

The former villain would have to use both his brawn and leadership skills to reunite the Asuras to escape the Titan Realm and its creator’s tyrannical regime. But with everyone in the prison wanting a piece of their former warden – it will not be easy.

You are Fudo’s only chance at redemption, having the ability to influence his choices. The last spark of humanity trapped in his vile corrupted soul. Will you succumb to the Wisdom King’s power and take the easy way out or fight for freedom until the very end?

IMMORTAL: And The Death That Follows lets you develop a fighting style, form a gang, “and fight your inner demon while trying to escape an interdimensional prison for demigods.” Each time you play, you can make a new moveset and playstyle. Mishura Games says you’ll fight on over-the-top vehicles while speeding down a highway “in gameplay that is equal parts Mario and Mortal Kombat”, take on hordes of enemies in free-flow combat as well as intense duels, and choose what happens to your enemies while they evolve and level up with you. The game also features unique visuals, extravagant animation, and a rocking instrumental soundtrack.

We have a trailer for IMMORTAL: And The Death That Follows below.
