Iratus: Lord of the Dead hits Steam Early Access as an undead twist on Darkest Dungeon

My favorite Dungeons & Dragons Dad Joke is about how “a Necromancer just wants to raise a family.” Iratus: Lord of the Dead has made it my new reality, and now it can be yours, too, as this role-playing game hits Steam’s Early Access today.

Iratus is a “Darkest Dungeon-like”: One of the biggest indie role-playing game hits in recent years, Darkest Dungeon is a tactical turn-based affair that combines dungeon-crawls with roguelikes. And it’s been a huge success, spawning a sequel that’s in the works and a subgenre of RPGs.
