Taking the villainous tone of Dungeon Keeper and the strategic style of Darkest Dungeon, Iratus: Lord of the Dead is a new game from Unfrozen which lets players revel in true evil as they plan for domination!
Iratus: Lord of the Dead tells the story of a dark necromancer on a quest for vengeance. After many years dead, he has risen from the grave to reign terror on a world that has grown too comfortable for his liking. Finally ready to strike, gamers will take up his grisly (if sardonic) mantle and rebuild an army to defeat the pesky heroes that have taken residence underground.

“As you can tell, we were heavily inspired by our love for turn-based strategy games, we love dark humor and so set out to create a darkest dungeon meets dungeon keeper experience,” Said Denis Fedorov, lead developer at Unfrozen Studios. “We wanted to create something that was unique but familiar at the same time and so we created a combat system that on the surface players will be right at home with but once in, you’ll see things you were expecting and unique twists throughout the mechanics.”
Iratus: Lord of the Dead will come to Steam on Early Access in Q2, 2018.
