Hey everyone,
We are Unfrozen – a small independent game studio based in St.Petersburg, Russia. Our project - Iratus: Lord of the Dead is a dark, challenging turn-based roguelike RPG where you play as an evil necromancer escaping from your dungeon prison to once again embark on the domination of the world.

If you played demo, we'd be glad to get feedback!

I gave the demo a try. Not bad. I would suggest you put a bit more detail into the tutorial though. I found myself clicking randomly around in the shopkeeps room because I didn't know what I was supposed to do. That part of the game should be very straight forward and easy to understand.

I've never played the other game so I can't do a comparison, but I liked it and will be keeping an eye on the progress.

Did not read the thread, but I really like Dungeons of Dredmor. Lighthearted, but still difficult. Dungeon of the Endless is also very good. Anything by those devs is gold in that game's genre, too.

Thank you for your feedback! It's really important for us and we will try to do something with the tutorial.

Playing Angband - can be frustrating as you run into 'no win' type situations (or hard anyway) early in the game sometimes. For example, something set off an alarm so all the monsters came at me from the level; low on health after casting recall, I tried a potion for HP, and it was poison, that was that even though I got back to town, HP was going down.

Trying as a gnome mage. Bit tricky as you use up the available spells and there are more monsters.

I liked the 'identifies magical devices' attribute but haven't found any yet.

Well for the first time, in Angband, my gnome wizard found a named dagger on level 2. Normal dagger is (1d4) (0,0). This one is 2d4 (+10, +12) [10]... So now he can run around stabbing anything and 1 shotting it so far. Whee. Ya, I know it won't last but should make the first few levels easy.

There is one scary thing even on low levels with the good dagger - confuse traps. Hit that and for several turns, especially if there are monsters, you can't hit them or cast spells on them or cast escape spells - they can jut hit you over and over.
