Immortal Realms: Vampire Wars is a Tactical Strategy game that takes place in a big Board-like world where you're in control of demonic and vampiric hordes that are pit against each other in a war for conquest, vengeance and control.

There are two modes in which you play this game: Sandbox and Campaign. From their names, it's pretty obvious what each mode stands for. The plot starts you off as Vlad, the Dracule... Dracules are basically a Vampire's civilization; craving crimson red blood to satiate their existence. Upon losing his beloved to a bunch of vampire hunters, Vlad decides to personally hunt them down and kill them and that's what springs a campaign for which the three monstruous races must fight to control a powerful Golden Crown.

There are three races/civilizations: The Dracule (already explained above), the Nosfernus and the Moroia... The Nosfernus are more deformed, zombie-controlling vampires and the Moroia... Well, I'll let you figure them out yourself (Looked like Gay Elves lol! No idea). Every race has different troops to recruit, different upgrades and such. Now, the graphics are decent, and the mechanics are very confusing at times, but I'll try my best to explain them as thoroughly and as briefly as possible.

Your aim in a match is to claim territories, by doing so you gain EXP that you use to improve your Lords. Your main resource is Blood; you get Blood revenue with each Village you control per turn. You can exhaust a village by Feeding on the population, and you'll get instant Blood but your Blood revenue will decrease... So you have to balance that out! Your units also consume blood per turn, that's the cost of maintenance... The more upgraded your units are, the more villages you should hold control over so that they don't starve. You get cards to use on the world map, these are called Kingdom Cards and you can only hold up to ten at the end of the turn. You can buy some in Libraries as well as Blacksmiths (the ones you buy in Blacksmiths are called Equipment cards, for all the right reasons). You can turn "HUMAN" Neutral Lords to Vampiric Lords of your faction; those act as seperate heroes for your faction and have AP (action Points) per turn, to walk around the map, claim territories, recruit units, upgrade buildings etc... In Combat, your Lord has a variety of Spells he can use, those are called Combat Cards, ranging from buffs to literal AOE damaging spells. Control over key-territories is the decisive essence of winning the match. Your Lords can respawn in your controlled Keeps, and you lose the game once your last keep has been claimed by the enemy lords.

That's really all there is to it, and unlike some Might and Magic games, this game is only single-player, so knock yourself out! Try out everything you want. For me, it's a 7/10 game that could be much better graphically.

And always remember: "WE SERVE THE DRACUUUUUUULE".
