Koshchei the Immortal

Koshchei the Immortal is an action game about helping Koshchei the Deathless reclaim his throne. You fight through enemies, gain levels and upgrade your stats until you are strong enough to face unique bosses.

Locations and enemies

You travel through diverse locations filled with unique enemies. There are no NPCs, quests or loot; the gameplay focuses on gaining levels. Defeating monsters adds them to a bestiary, and completing it grants bonus power. Contextual clues reveal the secret of Koshchei’s imprisonment, while the Bone Lord provides snarky commentary, with or without reason.

Bosses and progression

Bosses have multiple phases, and you must defeat them all. Koshchei’s appearance evolves as you progress. The game draws on Slavic fairy-tale motifs with a dark twist and includes a soundtrack. Average playtime is 3–3.5 hours, with different builds to try; post-game stats provide details to consider when speedrunning.
