Of Blood and Descent
A roguelike strategy RPG where each expedition shapes a multi-generational legacy. Explore, recruit allies, and continue your adventure through your descendants.
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.
