Moderate overall intensityWhat's in it

What it is
Tale of Immortal is a single-player open-world sandbox RPG rooted in Chinese mythology and Taoist cultivation folklore. You create a wandering martial artist striving to become an immortal, exploring a tile-based world where days pass as you travel, train, and pursue your own destiny. Combat is a top-down, bullet-hell style of action against mythical beasts and rival cultivators; killing enemies and, on certain paths, absorbing their souls makes you stronger. The living world is populated by NPCs with their own families and grudges, and you can befriend, romance, and marry them, adopt disciples, or turn to theft and killing—actions that carry lasting consequences such as earning nemeses. Wine and alchemical pills are part of the cultivation lifestyle. There are no online features, voice or text chat, or in-app purchases.
How it's framed
The game frames advancement as a series of personal choices with in-world consequences rather than fixed morality: you may build relationships and reputation or steal, kill rivals, and pursue a darker demonic path that rewards absorbing souls for power. NPCs remember your actions and may become enemies, so cruelty and crime are presented as playable options that shape how the world reacts to you.
