About the Game

Live. Fight. Love. Leave a Legacy.

Of Blood and Descent is a roguelike strategy RPG where death is not the end. Your descendants will carry on your journey, shaping both your lineage and the land you now call home. Each expedition into the cursed continent forces you to weigh risk and reward: fight, loot, and survive long enough to bring treasures and knowledge back to the settlement where your story continues.

Prepare

Arriving as a foreign adventurer, you settle in a seaside village on the continent’s edge. Recruit allies, forge bonds, equip gear, and influence how the community grows over generations. Though the curse binds you to this land, your bloodline will shape the village’s future.

Venture

Lead your party into dangerous regions filled with shifting threats, hidden relics, and cursed creatures. Combat is tactical and unforgiving, demanding careful positioning, resource management, and bold decisions to survive.

Fate

Return with wealth and wisdom… or fall in battle. When death claims you, your descendant inherits your legacy, continuing the descent with traits, relationships, and treasures passed down through blood.

Key Features

Every choice matters. Who you fight beside, what you carry, and how you build your lineage will decide whether your bloodline can endure the curse.

  • Descendant System: Death is not the end. When you fall, your descendant carries on your journey, inheriting family traits, relationships, and relics from generations past.

  • Roguelike Strategy Combat: Tactical real-time battles with a push-pause system inspired by classic RPGs and RTS design.

  • Dynamic Relationships: Recruit procedurally generated allies, build bonds, and even marry companions or other NPCs to ensure your lineage continues.

  • Shaping a Settlement: Influence the growth of the village you now call home, aligning with foreign traders or local traditions as generations pass.

  • Risk vs Reward Expeditions: Balance limited inventory and harsh survival penalties against the promise of riches and power.

  • Dark Fantasy World: Explore a cursed continent steeped in Southeast Asian mythology, where ancient ruins and forgotten magic still linger.

Forge your descendant’s legacy, or see it fade into the curse.
