Iratus was imprisoned for a thousand years until a group of hapless miners uncovered his tomb and gave their bodies in service of his undead army–unwillingly, of course. In Iratus: Lord of the Dead you play as the titular necromancer. You don’t have to worry about your characters going insane, either-but as necromancer Iratus, you can command your minions to drain the sanity of your enemies as you fight your way to the surface while rebuilding your undead empire. Instead of playing as a group of adventurers at the mercy of terrible creatures, you get to play as the terrible creatures. It takes Darkest Dungeon’s formula and flips it on its head. Released last year, I completely missed rogue-lite role-playing game Iratus: Lord of the Dead. I don’t think I’ve come close to getting quite the same evil thrill I had with the original Dungeon Keeper until I played Iratus: Wrath of the Necromancer.
It flipped the script on dungeon crawling games in an extremely satisfying way. In it, you play as an evil overlord directing your minions to build underground lairs with traps set to kill interloping do-gooders. I think my first experience with playing as “the big bad” was 1997’s Dungeon Keeper.
