Hero Generations: ReGen

Hero Generations: ReGen is a strategy game in which each turn represents one year of your hero’s life. You explore a procedurally generated world, find a mate, build a home and raise a child before your hero dies. You then take control of that child in the same world, carrying your legacy forward through generations. Each turn is a meaningful choice, with strategy focused on an individual hero rather than tedious micromanagement.

Life and legacy

Your hero has a limited lifespan and can die permanently, so each move costs a year. Explore for fame and fortune, but find a mate before time runs out. Choosing a mate matters because your child inherits traits—special abilities that can make them more powerful and better prepared.

Explore the overworld

Each world is generated with towns, forests, ancient ruins, heroes and other discoveries. A giant overworld map connects six biomes: Forest, Desert, Meadow, Island, Swamp and Volcano. The remake also adds quests, a new end-game and a massive single-screen overworld with no loading between areas.

Paths to victory

You can pursue victory through six paths: Strength, Love, Exploration, Wealth, Fame or Building. The game includes a massive tech tree, along with items, character traits, enemies, quests, generational events and a giant final boss.

Build for future generations

Construct any of 19 legacy-lasting buildings next to towns. They provide useful resources and powerful abilities to future generations, and can make towns more attractive to potential mates. Different building combinations can create secret town cultures, including the Castle, Dark Cathedral and Fortress.

Additional features

The remake includes online leaderboards and achievements, as well as hand-drawn art, high-resolution graphics, particle effects and animations. It also comes with a 36-page art book PDF.
