This is a small indie project from developers working on a new part of the HOMM-saga right now. The game proposes a turn-based RPG with tactical-mode battles 4x4. In the game, you are a resurrected necromancer whose path goes through a 6-level dungeon. Every floor involves fighting battles and visiting any interesting points (like tomb-chambers, sources of revival, etc.). Of course, the main brilliance of this game is its over-attractive antagonist, whom you will play. And if you start, be him! – First of all, construct your own undead army: take two parts of bones, one heart, some blood, give any armor or weapon to this lovely creature, and let it fight! The process is as routine as you can only imagine. Everyone does something like that, don't they? – add some beauty to your sweet, cozy home at the graveyard! Build a mortuary, abode of wrath, arrange an excavation, and enjoy! – Be a good leader! After killing any enemy, support your forces and say something like “Is this a result of a thousand years of evolution? Such a disappointment…” (sounds better if you say it phlegmatically). – improve your abilities: it will help you to heal your minions with a potion, which is crafted with their brothers’ hearts, bones, and flesh. Very nice game, I must say. It’s neither very challenging nor particularly stylish visually. However, the game costs its price just because of the a lot of fun it might present to you.

July 2025

The game is too long (and not in a good way), and lacks depth. Each map is overly lengthy compared to others in the genre, but doesn’t offer much variety. You’ll either enter a bonus room (which just gives you items), a situational room (where you make a simple decision, basically fight or flee), or a fighting room (as the name implies). The problem is, combat rooms feel repetitive, every enemy is basically the same, which makes the long maps boring and tedious. Also, positioning in this game is just a liar. Your characters can use nearly any skill regardless of where they’re standing, which takes away from strategic team-building. In a game like Darkest Dungeon, positioning is crucial, if your characters get shuffled, your whole strategy has to adapt. Here, it barely matters. It's just that some skills become available, while some become unavailable. The impact is so minimal. Edited: Well, regarding a 90% discount, I would recommend you to give this game a shot. I kind of had a fun time with it, so I suggest picking it up only if it's 90% off or more.

What Is Iratus: Lord of the Dead Iratus: Lord of the Dead is a strategy game , based combat ,strategy game (Similar to other games from this genre) But you play as a Necromancer ,as a villian. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Scores: Story: You plas as an evil Necromancer , searching for revenge , with an army of evil creatures , you want to take your power back... and destroy everything in ur path Score: 7 Gameplay: The game runs perfect , the animations of the characters looks nice , you can control everything with your mouse ,no need of keyboard , the characters all look good and cool, the animations of their attack are smooth and have an impact to them. Score: 8 Atmosphere: The game is set in a gothic , dark fantasy world, which you can't deny that this type of fantasy is amazing , potions , knights , castles and other creatures , everything is great! Score: 8 Soundtrack: there's not much here, not much to listen to , not good Score: 5 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Some Critics... The game lacks more soundtrack with a type of gothic dark fantasy theme , all sounds very similar , it is a little bit grindy , and you don't have enough sources from which you can get things. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Overall the game is a 7

Comparing this directly to Darkest Dungeon (not DD2) since that's what most players will be doing. Iratus: Far less RNG No grinding, less time wasted on leveling new units More flexible for build experimentation Play as the bad guy Token system similar to Darkest Dungeon 2 Runs on potato PCs Darkest Dungeon: Much more depth Unparalleled atmosphere Iconic artstyle and aesthetic Also runs on potato PCs Final verdict: Iratus is the best $4 I've ever spent on a game

Nov. 2024

I'm going to get right to the point: this is not a good game. It's a dumber and simpler version of Darkest Dungeons where you get to play as the edgy villain. That said, why am I recommending it? Because it's fun. For all its flaws, it does what it needs to do, it allows you to play as an uncaring necromancer lord that butchers people with his undead minions, and it has less resource management compared to Darkest Dungeon, allowing to focus on the important stuff: killing things with your undead army.
