What the game is

Immortal Path is a roguelike card game about cultivation, drawing on the Shan Hai Jing (Classic of Mountains and Seas).

Each of the six chapters is built from a different myth, and each chapter hides a second final encounter that only appears under special conditions.

Seven difficulty tiers stretch from mortal up to Tribulation Transcendence, so the same deck rules are re-tested as you climb.

The three resources and the Five Elements

There is no single generic mana cost. Essence is the fuel to play cards and refills at the start of each turn, while Vitality is your life force and Spirit is used to cast secret arts that deal combined Vitality and Spirit damage.

The resources constrain one another: block can be converted into Essence, some relics let you burn Vitality to cover an Essence shortage, and overspending Essence leaves you facing Broken Defense next turn with doubled incoming damage.

Every one of the 265 cards carries a Metal, Wood, Water, Fire or Earth attribute, which decides the counter-effects you suffer, the synergies you can trigger and whether relic abilities activate.

Stacking one attribute enables burst builds, while spreading across the Five Elements grants generation bonuses, so reweighting the same deck produces a different build.

Myth chapters and who it is for

Chapter encounters named on the store page include Jingwei Filling the Sea, where you shield a blue bird through three stages of heavenly thunder, and Hou Yi Shooting the Suns, whose Lord of Scorched Remnants deals escalating burn damage.

Kuafu Chasing the Light stacks light-chasing marks each turn behind phantoms you must break first, and Xingtian Wielding Shield and Axe is listed as another chapter closer.

Achievements carry permanent progression: the store page says clearing any of the 54 unlocks lasting cross-run enhancements across eight cultivation systems, 21 passive bonuses and 14 Heavenly Mandate mechanics.

The store page presents the game as a cultivation roguelike deckbuilder defined by its three-resource combat and Five Elements attributes, and does not compare it to any named deckbuilder (BOUNDED: official Steam description, checked 2026-10-26).
