For a fair few months, many of us have been enveloped in the dark world of Immortal Realms: Vampire Wars via Xbox Game Preview, but now it’s emerged as a fully-fledged strategy title on Xbox One. Will it be able to entice the lurkers in to see what it’s all about?
Immortal Realms: Vampire Wars is a turn-based strategic offering set in a vampire-filled, gothic world that’s in turmoil. It’s sure to be a challenging experience that also brings management elements into play while switching between the Kingdom and Combat gameplay stages. As it stands, there are three different modes to sink your teeth into: Campaign, Sandbox and Skirmish.
The campaign features a total of 12 well-crafted missions, with an enthralling narrative weaved throughout which uncovers the secrets of this realm – Nemire. These tales are told from the perspective of four rather powerful lords within the Dracul, Nosfernus and Moroia clans. Each clan and vampire lord has access to a unique set of abilities, which can be synergized into powerful combinations. Commanding these clans into battle, you’ll need to get to grips with their distinct units and special abilities in order to tactically outwit the opposition.
Should you wish to see the grand unveiling of Immortal Realms: Vampire Wars, it’s available from the Xbox Store for £44.99. Don’t worry if you’re not an Xbox gamer as the war has also just launched on PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch and PC – so you’re covered on whichever platform you prefer. For a mere £1.69, you can bolster the amount of vampire lords at your disposal with the Fangs & Bones DLC containing the Winter Wolf and the Skeleton King.

Game Description:
For as long as historians can remember, the ancient Dracul bloodline has ruled over the mysterious lands of Warmont – Realm of the Bloodthrone. Inside the secluded borders of this land, an unholy court of vampires feast on the blood of their human subjects. And, as long as they give it willingly, a vicious peace between mortal and immortal is kept alive under the watchful eye of the vampiric rulers – Vlad and Cecilia Dracul, forever bound by eternal love. To the east, a cold wind blows over the desolate planes of Mourterra – The Land of the Dead. No humans live on this barren and cursed soil, and yet the land is far from deserted. Horrifying remnants of the ancient and corrupt Nosfernus bloodline stalk here in silence, patiently waiting for their chance to once again plague the lands of the living. Meanwhile, in Esain – The Frozen North, another bloodline of vampires resides in solitude and isolation from the world. For the mystical clan of the Moroia, magic is blood, and blood is magic… and it runs thick in their cold, blue veins. No being – living or dead – dares interrupt their dark rituals and bloody soirées. Tonight, the smell of blood is strong on the wind, and a red moon lights up the dark sky. A new vampire war is imminent, and none will be spared from the coming horrors.
