About Hero Generations
Hero Generations is a strategy game about life, family and legacy in a procedurally generated world. Each step you take advances your hero’s life by one year. You explore in search of fame and a mate, and aim to have a child before your hero dies. When their life ends, you take control of that child in the same world and try to continue the family legacy.
A life of choices
Each turn is a decision about how to spend your hero’s limited time. You can build and craft the world around you or travel to distant lands to make a name for yourself. Your choices can develop six strategic paths: Strength, Exploration, Love, Wealth, Fame and Wisdom. Heroes face permadeath, and each turn costs them one year of life.
Family and towns
You can find a mate, start a family and have a child who carries on your journey. The city crafting system lets you build towns and shape their cultures.
Explore the worlds
The overworld is a connected grid of six unique worlds, each with its own tileset. Volcano, Desert and Island are among the settings. The game uses hand-drawn art and explores themes including death, legacy, family and love.
