Iratus: Lord of the Dead

Great take on the Darkest dungeon game style with a nice twist. Dark creatures from fantasy and folk mythos come to unlife by Iratus' necromancer mind to fight other fantasy races from fantasy and folk mythos. Very strategic turn based game. Recommended for people who loved darkest dungeon and/or people who like creatures from dark fantasy and folk mythology.

Hot take: I actually enjoyed this more than Darkest Dungeon.

Darkest Dungeon: Uno Reverse.

This is a really tricky one, because there's a ton I like about the game, but I feel like it doesn't quite manage to stick the landing enough that I could recommend it. For the positives: - Well constructed 4 vs 4 turn based combat where each action feels impactful - Great variety of units, with some really breaking the mould (there's a ghost that actually buffs your foes, but then converts said buffs into a massive damage increase for your units) - Really cool art style and theming that's paired well with the mechanics of the game; because you're a necromancer it makes sense units are a bit more expendable than they normally are in these kinds of games However, there's some pretty rough negatives - The balance is a bit off in numerous places; some units are just heads and shoulders above the others, and remain so throughout the game - Because you have to constantly replace fallen units, the act of re-levelling and equipping becomes pretty tedious - The meta progression for each run doesn't feel that fun to engage with; it's mostly static upgrades that don't offer much player choice, and subject to RNG (I never unlocked one unit just because a particular resource failed to appear for the duration of my time) --- (The big one) the game feels both bloated AND dragged out, somehow. It have five levels, each of which takes multiple hours just to get through, and for the majority of the time you're facing down very similar groups of enemies. I think the game's pacing would greatly benefit from cutting down the levels to almost half their length and allowing each run to feel much more lean, which would also help with the tedium of managing your troops. In the end I couldn't summon the motivation to get to the final boss because of this. I just want to stress that there is a lot to like about the game (it's name-sake narrator is a great addition, as an example), but I walked away feeling like it didn't quite land. -

Great game. I wish it had more content.

Не могу рекомендовать данную игру. Идея хорошая, но вот реализация такая себе, буквально через час ты уже нарабатываешь идеальную пати которая раскатает всех и не меняя героев проходишь игру до конца, скипая все что можно лишь бы уже закончить. Особенно после ДД это прям максимально лайтовая игра. Желания вернуться и перепройти нет вообще.
