Iratus: Lord of the Dead (some Darkest Dungeon like game) official subforum

[Iratus]

Thanks to RPG Codex stuff and Pope Amole II now we have official subforum of Iratus: Lord of the Dead - our upcoming turn-based tactical anti-roguelike RPG mostly inspired by Darkest Dungeon, Dungeon Keeper and Disciples.

You are all welcome guys: http://www.rpgcodex.net/forums/index.php?forums/iratus-lord-of-the-dead.119/

anti-roguelike? So you can't die?

 

[Drowed]

Like a true necromancer, your paws die, but you don't. Color me curious.

 

[Iratus]

Well anti-roguelike means that we just trying to play with some classical RPG stereotypes. You play for evil, not for good ones, craft not the gear, but undead themself etc. The game is darkish but pretty funny at the same time.

This actually looks and seems interesting. I can only pray that Celerity doesn't play 1337 hours of your game and HATES IT.

Good luck!

Are you going to adress the many, many, many issues DD had? Did like its artstyle though, more so than this one but it's early.

 

[Iratus]

Well we try to get rif of DD's most boring things, especially gringing. More focus on intresting and challenging fights, a bit more narration, deeper economy and crafting etc. Actually our game designer is Pope Amole II, also known as Nerd Commando, I guess he knows everything about DD mechanics and its issues.

If your game is a clone of an Early Access scam I'll just assume it's junk and not buy at all.

Silly SJW sympathizers summoning me.

Good job. DD is the best worst game I've played in a while. And yes, DD and its ilk are rather "anti-roguelike" in their forms: you always manage to rebound and there isn't "true loss" in the sense you lose the entire playthrough like a proper roguelike. DD manages it with unholy amounts of grinding.

One negative, though, it's your art style. It's mediocre, no offense intended. DD's art style is simple, yet istantly recognizable. And before you'll start "WHY YOU CARE ABOUT GRAPHICS CARE ABOUT GAMEPLAY" yes, I care about gameplay, but there are games that managed to keep me hooked just thanks to presentation, like Disciples 2.

Your game instead looks like a cheap flash game. Again, no offense intended, but managing to get a refined DD-like experience (we can say thousands of things about DD, but at least the devs kept polishing the turd until it was shining) AND a nice, eye-catching style would be golden.

 

[Iratus]

Well, copying DD artstyle is impossible and, I guess, pathetic. We tried to make something our own and unique. Our artist was inspired by Disciples alot btw And don't forget, we are small indie team, not some AAA guys, so we just try to do our best.

Yeah that's pretty loooong guide, I was deeply impressed when I saw it at the first time

 

[ERYFKRAD]

Good luck men.

 

[Storyfag]

I approve of what you are promising.

 

[JarlFrank]

I actually like the artstyle.

 

[vazha]

First thing that came to my mind while watching the trailer was - "Wow, this looks like Discpiles2!". Disciples 2 art design was a work of genius. If this will end up half as good, I'll be buying.

 

[Jarmaro]

Damn, that Darkest Dungeon DLC looks nasty.
