Why settle for second best?

IRATUS is an almost copy & paste job of DARKEST DUNGEON, but where the original was *original* and had some fresh ideas for a "rogue"-like game, IRATUS' only claim to fame is, you play as the bad guy. This ditches the "insanity" meter, a core gameplay element of DARKEST DUNGEON and replaces it with... nothing. While the art design of DARKEST DUNGEON was artistically very original and destinct, IRATUS looks cheap. The undead look rather goofy than scary. All in all, this is a second rate DARKEST DUNGEON that omitts DARKEST DUNGEON's core element, adds nothing new and does everything just ok'ish. 1 hour in I found myself wanting to play DARKEST DUNGEON instead and ended up refunding this. I guess it's ok if you can get it on sale (like for $10). It does offer good tactical combat and the voice acting is done by Blood's Caleb guy. Yeah, they even copied that narrator only monolgues from DARKEST DUNGEON. Do let's sum it up: Pros: + tactical combat (not as difficult as DARKEST DUNGEON) + voice acting Cons: -- carbon copy of DARKEST DUNGEON - ditched the insanity mechanic withouty a replacement - graphics look goofy - rather poor when compared to the far superior DARKEST DUNGEON Bottom line: Go play DARKEST DUNGEON instead, you'll be happy you did!

A somewhat flawed spin on the DD Formula

I was a bit hesitant about the game after I first came across it on a twitch stream. It looked like a quick attempt to invert the Darkest Dungeon setting without the fantastic graphics. That was not a fair estimation. Yes, this is a spin on the Darkest Dungeon system of combat. And, yes, it doesn't have the wonderful graphics that DD has (or the brilliant narration, or the lovely soundtrack). But, BUT, it does manage to stand on its own feet. Once I saw the graphics on my actual monitor rather than my phone screen I realized they were actually quite decent. I like the painterly style, and the animations were acceptable. The combat system is interesting, and pushes the DD style in different directions. You have two avenues of attack; health, and sanity. Building parties that attack one or the other (or even both) is a fun little challenge. There's a solid selection of different unit types, each of which can work in different ways depending on the upgrades chosen. I have only played one playthrough. It took me just short of 20 hours. I did it on the second difficulty "More Pain". I'm not a tactical genius by any means, but I'm familiar with the genre and this difficulty was too easy. Well, mostly too easy. I had 2 teams that could pretty much demolish any enemy parties. Except the final boss of the final floor. The final boss is an absolutely brutal, borderline unfair fight that chewed through all my existing soliders and through several additional freshly created teams until I finally figured out a composition that could defeat it. All that to say, if you're considering this game, I'm pretty sure you've got enough experiece in the genre to punch of the difficulty a bit. Personally, I'm not overly inclined to another run just now. Maybe in the far far future. I'm confident that many other players would get much more gameplay from this game than me though. 4/7 - Not just a Darkest Dungeon clone, keep an open mind and give it a spin

Amazingly Addictive

Complex tactics, deep RPG elements, satisfying visual and sound design. Add a few more dungeon levels and this would be my one game to have on a desert island.

Not as Good as Darkest Dungeon

While this game is fine on it's own, when compared to the other big title with this kind of gameplay, it falls short not by a significant margin, but a noticeable. The biggest example of this "noticeable margin" is the difference in the minion character in each game. In Darkest Dungeon, characters generally have two different builds you can take them with their abilities alone. The Highwayman character can be used as an up close damage dealer or a range crowd control and sniper. These abilities are focused on either the front end or the back end, and you can change your character build by swapping abilities outside of a dungeon. You can only have four abilities active on each character, and there is no "ultimate" ability. In Iratus, characters do have differing styles, but these are minute alterations that change the specifics, and do not majorly impact the role the character has. The Werewolf will always be an up close high damage brawler. There are characters that emulate Darkest Dungeon, but the fact is that overall they are quite set in what they are. There are other things, but I don't want to write an essay. Overall Iratus is an alright game, but to be honest it just makes me want to play Darkest Dungeon. Props to the devs and good luck with their next project.

Worth it and not (depends)

Did I get into it and for 2 days during work I was burning to play it? And when I finished work I played till past midnight on both occasions? Yes. Addictive. Funny and witty narrator. Really worth it for the 3.89british pounds I paid for it (on 84% discount in June 2024)! A thousand times would make this choice. The game hooks you in, and I have some characters to unlock so I am still somewhat excited about that so I will return to continue to play it. My feel is that the fights become repetitive and there is a bit of a grind to unlock the next character and then you are forced to use your talent points so you can then use a spell, to unlock another character... And then you have to finish the game on the hard difficulty (which would be no easy task) to unlock 3 characters... (that is really the carrot at the end of the stick...) I think for up to 10 dollars it is well worth it: good mechanics, keeps you entertained. Good graphics. Witty comments form the narrator.
