During E3 2019, publisher Kalypso Media and developers from Palindrome Interactive the unusual Immortal Realms: Vampire Wars, which is a bizarre mixture of strategies in the spirit of Total War, turn-based tactics and TCG. Players were promised immersion in a mythical world, as well as an exciting gothic adventure filled with vampire horrors and legends.
And if at that time the gameplay was not shown, then in the new video dedicated to the launch of the closed beta version of the strategy, you can already see its excerpts along with the locations of various vampire factions. The beta is available to anyone who has pre-purchased a digital Windows version of the game through the Kalypso Shop. Recall that the PC launch is scheduled for autumn 2019, and the PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch and Xbox One versions will be released only in the spring of 2020.
The beta version of Immortal Realms: Vampire Wars gives access to some of the early chapters of the story campaign, Sandbox and Skirmish modes. An exclusive discount is also available for pre-order, and a Fangs & Bones downloadable add-on and an official music album are promised as a bonus.
The game is a rather unusual strategy game that combines Total War-style empire management, turn-based combat and elements of collectible card games. Players perform strategic maneuvers in Kingdom Mode and command troops in Battle Mode. Each Vampire Lord has access to a different set of cards that can be combined for powerful effects.
The story is told from the perspective of four powerful vampire lords, each with their own goals and objectives. Thus, the ancient house of Dracula rules the mysterious lands of Warmont, which is called the Realm of the Bloody Throne - within the boundaries of this secluded land, the unholy vampire court drinks the blood of their people. And as long as people willingly give it away, the vicious world between mortals and immortals is preserved under the vigilant gaze of the vampire rulers - Vlad and Cecilia Dracul, bound by eternal love.
In the east, a cold wind blows over the desolate plains of Murterra, the Land of the Dead. No human lives in these barren and cursed lands. Here dwell the terrible remnants of Nosfernus' ancient and vicious bloodline, waiting for a new chance to strike the land of the living with an invasion. At the same time, in Esein - the Icy North - another vampire dynasty lives in solitude and isolation from the world. To the mystical Moroya clan, magic is blood, and blood is magic... and it runs through their cold blue veins.
