Iratus: Lord of the Dead is Daedalic’s next tactical RPG

Have you ever wanted to wear other people’s bones as armour, bring the dead back to life and cackle maniacally at any given moment? Yes? Then boy-oh-boy have I got the game for you!

Iratus: Lord of the Dead is a tactical RPG that tasks players in the role of a Necromancer, the aforementioned Iratus, who is intent on seeking vengeance against those who wronged him. He’ll do this by creating monsters from unwanted – and sometimes very much wanted – body parts, and sending them into turn-based battle. His minions are customisable with over fifty different skills to choose from. Iratus himself will level up and gain access to different alchemy, magic and tactical talents.

Despite being dead already, that won’t stop your minions from being able to die again and suffer a serious case of permadeath. Once your undead pals are gone, they are gone for good, ensuring that many tears will be shed before Iratus is victorious.

Iratus: Lord of the Dead will launch into Steam Early Access this summer.
