Coming from Darkest Dungeon, this scratches the itch that Darkest Dungeon 2 doesn't. Good game.

This is like the 'evil' version of Darkest Dungeon. It's a nice switch of perspective and makes for some fun sessions playing 'the bad guy'. Other than that, Iratus follows the basic formula of Darkest Dungeon very closely. Which is not a bad thing. The graphics are decent, it runs well on my Asus ROG Ally (even in native 4K) and the voice acting is fun and inspired. Yes, the voice lines do become a bit repetitive but it's still good fun. My advice: do your first playthough on the easy mode and treat it as an extended tutorial. That will give you a much better idea of how some of the systems work on your next run with higher difficulty. There is certainly a need to pay more attention to the mechanics on the higher levels and you need to use the right set of skills to match your opponents. The crafting and item system have a decent amount of depth as well and I am still uncovering things I didn't realize initially. So yes, if you want more of this type of game but from a different perspective, give Iratus a go.

Really fun twist on Darkest Dungeon. Instead of playing as heroes trying to venture deep into dungeons, you play as Necromancer trying to break free from one. You have access to many different monsters that you use to defeat adventurers and guards trying to stop you. Combat is classic fight of team 4vs4. What I like the most about this game, is that it's focused on combat. This makes it fresh and good alternative to Darkest Dungeon, since you get straight into the action. At the same time, lack of proper town management, and way shorter campaign might be a reason why DD player will not enjoy Iratus. But if tactical combat is what you enjoyed the most, you will most likely like this game too.

After this developer reeleased new HOMM, I remembered that they have another game that they released, this one, years ago, I played it for a bit, but never finished it, got distracted by something else at the time. I came back to this game and finished it in one sitting. Here is what I can say about it: - Fun tactical game with a lot of variety in builds, tactics and synergies - Passive skills, active spells, equipment, minion parts, skill tree for every minion, crafting, base upgrades - Gameplay is similar to Darkest dungeon, less punishing and arguably more rewarding - fantastic artstyle, wide variety of enemies, items and consumables If you like games like Darkest Dungeon, don't overlook this one, it is an absolute gem, in my opinion

Lol, yeah, I think I get it. I really do. The devs clearly played Darkest Dungeon (a good game, btw) and suffered through the same pain as I did. You know, where your “heroes” are basically a rotating cast of expendable idiots, capped at level 6, and emotionally easier to replace than an empty pen. Very little freedom when combining a party for a specific dungeon. Still, the game was great overall - amazing atmosphere, fun, and just the right amount of misery to keep you coming back. So with Iratus, they basically went, “What if heroes were… actual heroes?” Now you can level them up to around 100, which is a clear improvement from 6. They’re still replaceable, but not in that “who even was this guy?” kind of way. Party-building is way more flexible, with multiple viable setups instead of “pick these four or die.” If you’ve played Darkest Dungeon, Iratus will feel VERY familiar. If you haven’t, well, it’s a dungeon crawler. A pretty well-balanced one, too. Not overly forgiving, but that’s kind of the point. These games live and die by punishing your mistakes just enough to make you question your life choices. Difficulty settings mostly boil down to stripping resources from you while handing enemies extra stats (blocks and wands are critical!). At higher levels, it can start feeling like a coin flip between “who runs out of blocks first?” So yeah, a bit of RNG grind creeps in. But hey, that doesn’t make it a bad game. It’s a solid one! Easily worth 2–3 playthroughs before the grinding loop starts to feel a little too familiar.
