We all know what mana is for, but with wrath, this is required for ultimate abilities and spell power increases each time you level up a character.

Stats and resources are whittled down to three things: mana, wrath and spell power. This is a great strategy to weaken enemies, along with debuffs and abilities to increase your attacks. In this case, you can weaken the enemy, inspire them, cause instantaneous death and also provoke them to flee a battle. Characters can induce fear and cause stress to one another, inflicting various stages of sanity. However, there’s another element here that plays on sanity levels. Crafty FightingĬombat is intuitive in that you want to reduce the enemies HP as swiftly and as efficiently as possible. Should a minion die, you make a new one until you’re out of ingredients. You’d assume that the game would be a real-time strategy commanding the hordes of the dead instead, you have a small party to survive as long as possible. It’s ok to take a bit of time here as Iratus Lord Of The Dead Wrath Of The Necromancer is turn-based combat. The character models and lighting effects no longer have that cut out aesthetic, and I found myself marvelling at them – notably the varied characters on offer. Out of the three examples, Iratus Lord Of The Dead Wrath Of The Necromancer looks the best. Visually it’s like Vambrace: Cold Soul – you could say Darkest Dungeon, but I haven’t got around to playing that yet. Initially, it was some poor miners who stumble upon your grave, so naturally, you have to kill them all, dungeon-crawling to an extent so that you can rise another level to finally get to the surface and enslave the living.

In Iratus Lord Of The Dead Wrath Of The Necromancer, from Unfrozen and published by Daedalic Entertainment, you play Iratus – a necromancer who has been sacrificed one too many times but is back from the dead to command a legion of minions. This review is a double whammy as I didn’t have the base game, so this is a review of that including the DLC with the new minion, the reaper – quite possibly my favourite, so good timing, eh?
