🕹 Editor's notes

Iratus Lord Of The Dead is a roguelike role-playing game developed by Unfrozen. You play as a supreme necromancer called Iratus and can craft a selection of undead minions to form a team of four in this game.

You can exchange these minions with other parties as the game progresses. Exchanging minions is essential, as you may need them when you learn about your enemy’s strengths and weaknesses.

In this game, you raise an army of undead minions who will be used to fight in combat against righteous forces. By killing the good people, you will use their bodies to build yourself a new army.

Plot

You play the character of Iratus, a necromancer who has his sights set on conquering the world. He goes around raising an army of dead minions, helping him fight against the forces of good.

Iratus is determined to build an army from the underworld to take them to the mortal world and bring death to their mortal lives. He does this because centuries ago, he was on the verge of conquering the world, but a group of earth’s heroes foiled his plans.

Not knowing he was immortal, the heroes killed him and locked his body in a secret dungeon. However, his body was freed when a group of humans accidentally dug through his chamber’s walls.

Iratus had only one thing in mind when this happened: to return to the mortal world and kill everyone. He used his powers to summon undead minions from dead mortal remains that would help him in his quest.

Gameplay

The gameplay is turn-based in Iratus Lord Of The Dead. You take the first turn in hitting your enemy with an attack. Your enemy’s attack on you the follows that.

Your minions will have limited movement abilities, in which case you can replace them and fight as Iratus. Iratus uses his power to turn points into weapons for his minions.
