Iratus: Lord of the Dead

Combat feels more shallow and some strategies seem forced (like tanking with the bone golem) because of the cheap amount of damage late game enemies deal. The biggest difference is the playthrough length, which is way shorter for Iratus since it can be completed in 3-5 hours. Art and sound, while decent, are also inferior to DD. It can keep you entertained for a dozen hours but definitely isn't comparable to the real deal.

This game wants to be another Darkest Dungeon type game so hard, but it lacks any soul. You just don't care about your party members, about enemies, because it quickly became repetitive and boring. Shame. Better look somewhere else.

I am truly enjoying this game.

I started this game on my mac and it immediately wanted access to my calendar which I denied. It sat there loading for a min or two then wanted access to my photos, again I denied it. Another two mins and its still trying to load and now its asking access to my contact list I am slightly disturbed at this point as I can't come up with a legit reason it wants this sort of info. Three more mins of loading and I get to the main menu and none of the buttons work nor can I exit the game! Shoddy programing seems to be rampant these days but I did get this game for free so I guess Im not quite as angry as I would be if I had actually paid for this. What really gets me though is feeling like the game is trying to spy on me. As far as I can tell it is virus free but I still would recommend staying away from it.

Iratus has the graphics, the music and the gameplay better than Darkest Dungeon. The gameplay is on 4-5 maps under 10 hours, you can't go back on the map and the death of your minions is permanent. On easy mode you can do Quick Save. For all the achievements you must replay on the same location file, ex: Use the first save location to play/replay only on Easy (Cakewalk) , second save location play/replay only on Medium (More Pain) and the last to play/replay only on Hard (Good Always Wins). The Extreme Hard (Eternal Harvest) you may try to play on the last two locations. In time, you will unlock all the characters at Humonarium for Easy, Medium and Hard locations. You can't unlock Humonarium at one mode by playing other mode. Good Game!
