As long as the Universe was known to exist, a Monolith sat at its core. Debates raged between the scholars from all corners of the galaxy as to whether it was formed at the dawn of creation, or if it was the Monolith itself that gave rise to everything else, with the answer always proving elusive. In the meantime, the race known as the Prime learnt how to reverse-engineer a fraction of its secrets, and that was enough for them to form an empire greater than any the world has seen till then.
Good times didn't last, however, as a force known only as "the wind from Abyss" had suddenly appeared and raised the Prime's dead as deadly cybernetic warriors. They fought valiantly, but eventually all was lost, and the Monolith Keeper chose his absolute last gambit - an extremely dangerous Prisoner, condemned to indefinite cryosleep centuries ago, who has now become the few living's only hope of cleansing the nine worlds of the dead.

Even before its release, the game has developed a reputation of "''VideoGame/DarkSouls'' with guns", due to the obvious inspiration it's taken from that game.
!! Immortal: Unchained provides examples of the following tropes:
* ActionBomb: Enemies stuck with a bunch of green crystals with lunge at you in order to self-detonate. Said explosion also leaves cloud of poisonous mist behind for a few seconds.
* AfterTheEnd: Pretty much everyone is dead or a hostile cyber-undead, with the friendly and/or living characters being few and far between.
* AnArmAndALeg: You can shoot off enemies' arms, while targeting their legs staggers them.
* AnAxeToGrind: One of the melee weapon types, dual-wielded by the Raider class and also used by several enemies.
* ArmorPiercingAttack: Some weapons deal bonus armor piercing damage.
* AntiHero: Your protagonist was condemned to indefinite cryosleep for genuinely horrific crimes. The opening describes them as "black of heart".
* ArbitraryMaximumRange: For a futuristic setting, the range of your firearms is plainly pitiful. Even sniper rifle equivalents are powerless at the distances greater than 20 meters or so. Of course, this is meant to justify the use of melee weapons.
* AttackDrone: One of the enemy types. They are also present to support Soothsayer Commander in his boss battle.
* AttackItsWeakPoint: Many of the enemies have weak points on their back...
* BladeOnAStick: Holmeguard Commander fights with a shield and a large halberd. Castellan Peacekeeper has a similar equipment.
* BoomHeadshot: Which are often in addition to being vulnerable to headshots.
* BottomlessMagazines: Averted. Moreover, your ammo can only be refilled at the obelisks.
* ConcussionFrags: There are grenades, which are used by both the player and the enemies. In both cases, they are as short-ranged as everything else in the game.
* ContinuingIsPainful: Getting killed once makes you drop all of the bits you have gathered up to this point at the location of your death. Getting killed again wipes that drop out.
* TheCorruption: The "wind" from the Abyss, which caused the mess you now have to clean up.
* CriticalHit: All weapons have a chance of scoring one. It usually inflicts 150% damage, but investing in certain stats raises the damage bonus. Raider class also gets a bonus to scoring these.
* CutAndPasteEnvironments: The game was frequently critized for regularly repeated environmental elements in its worlds, and for making all nine worlds look very similar to each other in general.
* DamageSponge: The combat is geared around the idea you'll either headshot your enemies, shoot them in the vulnerable points in the back, or engage in melee. Attempting to simply shoot your foes will quickly chew up through all your ammo.
* DeflectorShields: Some of the enemies and bosses can create these around themselves, which completely block all damage until they fade out after a few seconds.
* DropTheHammer: Mercenary class dual-wields hammers.
* DualWielding: '''[[ExaggeratedTrope All]]''' of the melee weapons are dual-wielded by your character. The enemies that don't carry shields with their melee weapons will also dual-wield them.
* EasyAmnesia: The protagonist has lost all memories from the untold time they spent in cryosleep.
* FacialMarkings: Your character's face is invariably tattooed, along with the rest of their body.
* GenderIsNoObject: Playing as a male or a female character makes no difference to the game. In fact, you are even allowed to set the same kinds of facial hair for the women as you get for the men!
* GiantMook: Some of the enemy types are almost twice as tall as you are.
* GlowingEyes: Pretty much everyone in the game has those - from the protagonist and Monolith Keeper, to virtually all of the enemies.
* ImmortalLifeIsCheap: Monolith Keeper treats your character with perceptible disdain, both due to their past, and because they know they'll never truly die.
* LaserHallway: A literal example of a hallway where the floor and ceiling is lined with dozens of purple laser arrays, which all turn off and on in a strict pattern, thus allowing you to advance. One would think that sticking to just one or two laser arrays that would be switched on all the time would have been far more effective.
* LifeDrain: Wanderer class heals a little every time they kill an enemy.
* MyRulesAreNotYourRules: The weapons of the enemies lack range restrictions all of your weapons are subjected to. Moreover, it is impossible for them to fall off the cliff or into the water, which are instant deaths for your character.
* PowerFloats: Soothsayer Commander regularly floats high up during his boss battle, while also protecting himself with a shield.
* PracticalCurrency: Bits, which seem to represent processing power. They are used to upgrade both your character and their weapons.
* TheProphecy: Intro states that one foreshadowed your "unchaining" for the coming battle.
* RespawningEnemies: If you get killed and respawn at an obelisk, all the nearby enemies will respawn as well.
* RevolversAreJustBetter: They deal more damage per shot than the pistols, at the expense of having a lower fire rate.
* RPGElements: You can improve stats like Finesse, Toughness, Perception, Endurance, Insight, etc. through investing bits into them.
* SealedEvilInACan: The protagonist was considered one back when they were imprisoned at the Monolith. It is only the dire state of the world that got them released.
* ShockwaveStomp: Soothsayer Commander can send out a thick green shockwave from its staff.
* SniperRifle: Present, and while they are useless beyond 25 meters or so, they are still generally superior to the other gun types, as it is far easier to score headshots with them, and thus end the battles quickly. Marksman class also specializes in these.
* ShieldBearingMook: Multiple enemy types carry shields, which may be round or of a rectangular tower shape, and be either purely physical or consist of green energy. Bosses like Castellan Peacekeeper or Holmeguard Commander also carry these.
* ShortRangeShotgun: Played absolutely straight with the Scattergun.
* SprintMeter: Present, and used up during movement (including dodge rolls) or for melee attacks. There's also an Energy meter, which is used up for the special ranged attacks.
* StationaryWings: The wings of the Soothsayer Commander boss.
* SuckingInLines: Many of the enemies' ranged weapons produce these before attacking, thus giving you a cue to dodge.
* SuperDrowningSkills: Falling off into the water instantly kills your character.
* TeleportSpam: Late-game areas frequently feature enemies who'll teleport behind your back.
* UnnecessaryCombatRoll: Present, like in any other ''VideoGame/DarkSouls''-inspired game. Their effectiveness is dependent on your agility stat.
* WeaponOfChoice: Every class uses a different melee weapon type.
