Daedalic Entertainment have announced Unfrozen’s dark fantasy roguelike RPG Iratus: Lord of the Dead has left Early Access, and will launch today.
The game originally entered Early Access back in July 2019, but has now fully launched. You play as the titular Iratus, a necromancer who has been revived. Now he seeks to escape his crypt, by building an army of undead monsters (from the bodies of his slain enemies!), all armed with hundreds of possible skills.
As detailed in the press release, the full release brings two new dungeon levels, along with additional enemies, items, quests, and updates to the existing three levels.
You can find the Full Release trailer below.
You can find a rundown of the game (via Steam) below:
In Iratus you find yourself fighting for the forces of darkness in the role of the titular necromancer—Iratus, recently freed from his millennia-long imprisonment.
You control an obedient army of the living dead, with skeletons, zombies, banshees and many other unliving warriors. Create your soldiers the only way a necromancer knows how: from the body parts of your slain enemies!
Expand and improve your underground lair. Strengthen your servants by researching secret rituals. Explore the twisted corridors and underground catacombs, and battle against lobotomized miners, greedy dwarves and corrupt mercenaries. Aid Iratus in his quest to recapture and eclipse his former power. Lead him to conquer the forces of good and unleash an eternal kingdom of death upon the world!
The sheer variety of tactical and strategic options makes Iratus a true treat for any ardent fans of the roguelike genre.
