Based on an all new game engine, ReGen is packed with hundreds of redesigned, re-tuned, and enhanced features including:

A giant overworld map to explore, all viewed through a new dynamic camera.
Blazing fast frame rate, high resolution artwork, beautiful lighting and particle effects, and smooth character animations.

Gameplay Details

In Hero Generations: ReGen, each step you take is an entire year of your hero's life. You explore a procedurally generated world in search of fame and a mate to have a child with before you die. After your life ends, you take control of your child in the world you left behind, in the hope of continuing your family legacy. Each turn becomes a meaningful life decision: you can focus on building and crafting the world around you, or adventuring to far off lands to make a bigger name for yourself.

Key Game Features

Limited Lifespan and Permadeath: Each turn your hero takes = 1 year of their life.
Generations, Mating, and Having Children: find a mate, start a family, have a child. Then take control of that child in that same world!
6 Strategic Paths and Meaningful Choices: grow in Strength, Exploration, Love, Wealth, Fame, and Wisdom.
City Crafting System: build great towns and morph their cultures.
Expansive Overworld: explore a connected grid of 6 unique biomes, each with their own unique tileset (Volcano, Desert, Island, to name a few)
Meaning: a surprising and thought-provoking experience, that explores themes of death, legacy, family, love, and more.
Gorgeous hand drawn art style.
