The goal of the Kickstarter campaign is to fund the further polishing of an already fantastic-looking game, as well as fund the development of new features and additions. The core game has already been fully funded by Unfrozen themselves which allows the funds raised by the Kickstarter to solely go to extra polish and content.

Weyte Narration

Unfrozen has announced that bringing to “life” the dark wizard Iratus, is none other than voice actor S. Weyte whose work includes titles such as Blood, Mario Party 8, Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance, and Metroid: Other M. Weyte will be acting as the main narrator for the entire game from Iratus’ perspective, expect plenty of dark humor and sadistic delight.

About Iratus: Lord of the Dead

The game is a turn-based, dungeon-crawler, with RPG elements. In it, players will personify Iratus: Lord of the Dead, as the commander of an undead army. Players will have to fight hordes of opposition and collect the body parts they leave behind after they are massacred. Then, players can build more denizens of evil to continue Iratus’ quest for total world annihilation.

Only the bravest will take on the hardcore RPG. With scaling difficulty level, tons of mob variations, and deep tactical elements; Iratus: Lord of the Dead isn’t for the faint of heart. Players can expect their path to be a frivolous one, littered with disdain and despair. With the mechanics and difficulty aimed at to provide a challenging journey, players should be prepared for plenty of wipes, both in game and for the real-life tears.
