How it feels

A slow-paced, thoughtful strategy game where each turn feels significant, balancing exploration, settlement, and generational legacy with minimal micromanagement.

What players say

Players are split on this rogue-like where you must manage a hero's short lifespan and reproduce before time runs out or the game ends. Some find it addictive, others call it repetitive and grindy with too much RNG in combat. Reviews also report corrupted saves and note that ReGen is a slight visual upgrade of the original rather than a full sequel.
