, a game that lives up to their name, as a browser title back in 2013. A limitation that’s not easily seen is the pitiful sizing issue: The game was 15 mbs, with a 35 mb soundpack. But despite those, Immortal Empire garnered some enthusiastic fans and feedback, and now the Canadian studio is looking for funding on Kickstarter to push the quality of the game into full, downloadable territory.

At its heart, Immortal Empire is a tactical game with strong fantasy and RPG inspirations. The player takes on five immortals, forming a party. There’s a Valkyrie, Paladin, Berserker, Summoner, Phoenix Mage, and so on to pick from. The 13 different classes total up in about a 100 spells and abilities that synergize with one another, forming complex strategic combinations. The experience system gives flexibility to favor just one character. As for the storyline, it features choices in dialogue that directly affect the immortals’ stats. Tack on to all that an enchanting system with gems, and you have enough to go on about for weeks.

Tactic Studios is asking for $8,000 (CAD), which will help them build the game up for Steam (a release which is already Greenlit) for Windows, Mac, and Linux. Users can then enjoy much better quality sound and music, with added daily quests and a persistent item stash. Kickstarter backers get unique chat flair and alternate costume color schemes for characters.

The game is free-to-play, with an in-game currency. Spending real money does speed up progress and open up flexibility, but in the end, doesn’t affect the balance of the game, according to the developers. There are also PvP modes in Immortal Empire .

Check out the details on this deep stratagem over on their Kickstarter campaign page, and look forward to the rise of Immortal Empire by the end of 2014. Meanwhile, you can try the game out on this website.
