SteamFirst: I was never really sold on the idea of “love at first sight” until I started playing Hero Generations by Heart Shape Games LLC. She was a combination of multiple different traits that I admire in my video games, while offering a captivating uniqueness which caused her to stand out among the crowd.
It has RPG elements, permadeath and the idea of mating and creating new playable generations is extremely central to gameplay. So where does it all go wrong?
PCG:
Characters rarely age in games, with exceptions like Crusader Kings 2 or The Sims, or perhaps the intro to Fallout 3. In Hero Generations, a turn-based RPG from Heart Shaped Games, aging is front and center because each turn of the game and each move across the procedurally generated map deducts a year from your lifespan.
Hardcore Gamer: Hero Generations is coming to the Humble Store, Steam and the OUYA storefronts next week. It’s a roguelike/strategy game hybrid with a very unique premise.
