Iratus: Lord of the Dead - Wrath of the Necromancer Review - Fear The Reaper

The new DLC expansion for Iratus: Lord of the Dead, titled "Wrath of the Necromancer," adds haunting new enemies, dungeons, and crafting options.

Iratus: Lord of the Dead has risen from the grave once again with the new Wrath of the Necromancer DLC, which launched on Steam on October 26. Unfrozen and Daedalic Entertainment's point-and-click dungeon crawler combined the roguelike RPG gameplay of titles like Dungeon Keeper and a novel minion-crafting system to great effect back in April, and now the game's creators have added in some more undead fun.

The overall plot of Iratus: Lord of the Dead remains mostly unchanged in this expansion, as players are still placed in the role of the titular Necromancer as he guides his undead minions through the levels of the underworld, plotting his vengeance against those who sealed him away centuries ago. The basic 2D gameplay remains the same as well: players command their undead forces to use their unique abilities to drain an enemy's Health or Stress Meter, which can cause them to literally die of fright and leave their remains as building materials for Iratus's forces.

Iratus: Lord of the Dead - Wrath of the Necromancer largely feels like more of the same, but given how fun the main game is this isn't a bad thing. The new content provides plenty of challenge and variety for would-be conquerers looking to unleash their undead hordes upon the world, and players who loved Iratus' macabre tone and minion-crafting gameplay will enjoy facing off against the new foes provided in Wrath Of The Necromancer - that is, if they survive.

Score: 3.5/5
