Iratus: Lord of the Dead

Iratus is a good game and deserves your attantion. 4of5 stars is from my opinion the right rating. Have to say that it has a strange "saving" system and after finishing the game it is deleting everything. Cant imagine how will I continue "Iratus: Wrath of the Necromancer" but have a bad feeling that I will have no choice than starts it all again. If somene has experience with this DLC, please tell me. Until knowing that am not willing to pay for it. Generaly I don´t like DLC and there are only few games where i buyed them. Mostly am buying main game and nothing more or waiting until they release the game of the year editions or so. where are all this DLC´s. But back to Iratus. If you like strategy turned based games - buy it. You will be not disapointed. It is a relatively cheap game on what it offer.

So, this is a Darkest Dungeon clone, where you play the bad guys. It's much easier than the original game, which is a plus for me as it was waaay too frustrating. But, unfortunatelly, all the mechanics were made much simpler, too. Like, you just need to do one fight at a time, and you can even heal your minions with magic. Also, I feel like there is no real meaning of the different field positions, as you could simply hit even the last guy in the row with a melee attack. I remember that in DD, I always had to move my minions into the right positions, but not here. So, it feels like a predecessor of DD in every way.

Love the art style and the challenge, and it is one of those games that you learn a little more about it each time you play. Can get pretty deep with the micro management and things to change and do.

You get what you pay for if you like to fumble with ressources to kill everything that moves and don´t want to get really involved. Looks good, feels good, nice music, a bit of dark humor. I played it on "More pain!" and that´s enough for me. Would have loved it if I could keep what I gained for the next level, but I can`t. And it´s not interesting enough to play the same thing again, just harder.

It's a good game with decent tactics, but I feel that it could be better
