MASSIVE CHALICE is a tactical strategy game set on an epic timeline from Double Fine Productions. As the Immortal Ruler of the Nation, you'll take command of its heroes, forge marriages to strengthen your Bloodlines, and battle a mysterious enemy known as the Cadence in a war lasting hundreds of years. Key Features Bloodline Genetics - MASSIVE CHALICE features an innovative Bloodline system that allows the player to marry heroes together to produce children. The Bloodline system uses a randomized genetic code for every hero. Their children can end up with the best (or worst!) gameplay-impacting traits of their parents. Permadeath - The heroes in MASSIVE CHALICE age over the course of the timeline and eventually pass away. This forces the player to engage in the beauty of permadeath and always juggle an imperfect party of heroes with which to do battle! Bloodline Relics - If a hero has fought valiantly enough when they inevitably pass away, their weapon has a chance to become a Bloodline Relic. This powerful Relic can be passed down to any character of the same house in order to carry on the legacy of the fallen hero! Long View Strategy - Because the war lasts 300 years, players need to take a long view of their strategy. Decisions have to be made dozens of years in advance and long-term planning is incredibly important. That 3-year-old toddler is going to grow up to be your most reliable melee fighter sooner than you think!

Wikipedia Description WIKIPEDIA
The game switches between two modes: Strategy, in which the player makes long-term decisions and watches the years roll by, and Tactical, in which the player commands a team in turn-based battles against enemy forces. In Strategy mode, the player decides which tasks the Chalice will spend its small amount of spare energy on, while also dealing with problems that arise in the kingdom's population. While the player waits for projects to complete, the Cadence will regularly attack. Usually they attack multiple parts of the kingdom at once, but as the Chalice can only send a team of heroes to one location at a time, the player must decide which battle to fight to keep Cadence corruption from spreading too much. As the player's character is unable to leave the palace, they must send heroes to fight the Cadence. Though these heroes are attuned to the Chalice, allowing them to survive contact with the Cadence, they are not immortal, and so a crucial part of Strategy mode is establishing bloodlines to breed future generations of heroes. The player can retire a hero to become regent of a noble house, and arrange a marriage to a hero from another house. Newborn heroes inherit some genetic traits from their parents, as well as personality. While same-sex couples cannot have children on their own, the Chalice can find babies in the kingdom who are attuned to it to be adopted by a noble house. Such children have their own genes but may still inherit personality traits from their adoptive parents or during training. Heroes initially belong to one of three classes: Caberjacks, who wield battering-ram-like "cabers"; Hunters, who use giant crossbows to attack from a distance; and Alchemists, who use weapons resembling bladed lacrosse sticks to throw explosives or attack up close. Children inherit their parents' class; if the parents are different classes, one of six hybrid classes results (depending on which class is the regent parent). As heroes age, their statistics change; for example young heroes are faster but not as strong or smart as others, while very old heroes may be slower and weaker but much wiser. Heroes may also develop new personality traits from their experiences. If a distinguished hero dies on the battlefield, their personal weapon may become a Relic, a magical artifact that is passed down to younger members of their house.
