Tale of Immortal has five difficulty levels ranging from "normal" to "chaos", with the last mode being a permadeath mode which will delete the player's save upon death. There is a character creator which allows customizing the player character, as well as a choice of up to three initial "destinies" which influence the character's starting stats. The game uses a square tile-based movement system, with travel time counted in days. Player actions such as stealing items or killing rivals can result in consequences later, which will affect interactions with various NPCs. Combat takes the form of a top-down action RPG with bullet hell mechanics. The player can equip "manuals" which enable various skills such as elemental attacks or martial-arts styles, and equip passive "mind skills" to power up active abilities. The game also features a social system in which the player can build relationships with NPCs, including romance, adopting disciples, and reputation for actions such as committing crimes, which can result in the player gaining nemeses.

The game was initially only available in Chinese, with one review from TheGamer indicating that an English translation would likely arrive, and the translation was officially announced in a Steam update on March 6, 2021, to be released the following month. Tale of Immortal later received a release for mobile on July 15, 2025.
