About Hero Generations: ReGen

Hero Generations: ReGen is an innovative and award-winning Roguelike/4X Strategy game where every turn is one year of your life. It’s been called “the offspring of Sid Meier's Civilization, Jason Rohrer's Passage, and The Legend of Zelda."

Explore, find a mate, build a home, and raise a child before you die to keep your legacy going. Hero Generations is simple yet deep: 4X Strategy on the individual level. Each turn is a meaningful choice, without the tedious micromanagement.

THE ULTIMATE REMAKE
ReGen is an amazing complete remake, redesigned and packed with 100s of new features. Powered by the Unity Game Engine, you'll experience a blazing-fast framerate, all-new high resolution graphics, and a massive single-screen Overworld with no loading between areas. Experience all-new quests, battle to the new end-game, and compete with your friends on all-new Steam leaderboards. Also includes a bonus 36-page art book PDF!

LIMITED LIFESPAN AND PERMADEATH
Each move equals one year of your hero's life. Think carefully about how you spend the hero's time. Explore the world for fame and fortune, but make sure to find a mate before it's too late!

GENERATIONS, MATING, AND HAVING CHILDREN

Find a mate, start a family, have a child. Then take control of that child in that same world! Choosing the right mate is key, as inheritable traits (special abilities) make your child more powerful and prepared.

6 STRATEGIC PATHS

Choose your path to greatness. Gain victory through Strength, Love, Exploration, Wealth, Fame, or Building.

CITY CRAFTING SYSTEM
Construct any of 19 legacy lasting buildings next to towns to give future generations useful resources, powerful new abilities, and more attractive mates! Experiment with different combinations to craft amazing secret town cultures, like the Castle, Dark Cathedral, or Fortress!

MEANINGFUL
A surprising and thought-provoking experience, that explores themes of death, legacy, family, love, and more. A Gorgeous hand drawn art style creates an exciting and unique fantasy setting.

[h1] Adventure families [/h1] We walk the world through generations of heroes. [h1] STORY [/h1] History is written by the actions of the characters. [h1] GAMEPLAY [/h1] The gameplay is a turn-based exploration of the world with battles. The game implements an interesting principle, one move - one year of the hero's life. Therefore, you need to carefully consider your actions. At the same time, we always have only one character, during the game they need to take care of creating offspring. If there are no heirs, the game ends. Each new game (until the end of the dynasty) the world map is regenerated. It has a lot of different points of interest and activities. Around the hordes of monsters and other heroes who act independently. Consider the pros and cons of the game, sum up. [h1] PROS: [/h1] + Simple but nice graphics. + Good music and sound design. + Original idea with dynasties. + Interesting locations, many points of interest and events. + Many types of enemies, they are quite dangerous. [h1] CONS: [/h1] - Too much influence of randomness on the game. You can easily lose fights that you have to win. [h1] CONCLUSIONS [/h1] In general, I liked the game. There is an origi…

Absolute snoozefest off a game. Shady stuff from the forum aside, the game is extremely repetetive and boring. You run around a map, building stuff that deteriorates, and as soon as your hero resembles something fun his turns are used up and you are forced to start over. Children are not that much stronger, so basically it is always a race against time (which is always crap in 99% of the games in existence). There are some events here and there, nothing too spectacular though. In the first version of the game with proper planning and stuff you could go infinite age, but the salty dev also took that one out. Why have fun in a strategy game wth proper strategy planning, right. If you are interested get it for a dollar, maybe 2 Tops. it is not worth more than that. Basically nice art and extremely shallow, aside from the business practice fiasco.

the idea is great, the execution... sadly very flawed

Do you like wasting your time on awful mobile games? Then you might enjoy this.

It's a good time killer. A roguelike with turn based action, where you are limited by your characters age, and must reproduce efficiently to progress. I would recommend the game, it's cheap enough. However, my primary gripe is and has always been a lack of windowed mode. It's hard for me to play when it takes up my ability to multitask so I have to reserve time to play it, but it's hard to fully focus on it when it's not 100% engaging to me personally. Not even Steam's launch options work with it.

I really think it a good despite all the negative reviews I think you try the game and have a little patience so you understand the game a bit more and enjoy it.
