MASSIVE CHALICE is a single player turn-based tactics game within a multi-generational strategy campaign built for replayability.

As an immortal King or Queen, you must unite your kingdom under a powerful dynasty, eliminate the demonic threat, and reforge the MASSIVE CHALICE!

The game is structured into two main layers: strategy and tactics. In the strategy layer, you oversee your kingdom, arrange royal marriages, conduct research, and make the far-reaching decisions that will determine the fate of your legacy.

In the tactics layer, you fight brutal turn-based battles to defend your kingdom using small squads of customizable heroes.

Permadeath is inevitable: your heroes will grow, age, and eventually die. You'll have to choose between keeping your favorite heroes on the battlefield or retiring them from combat to foster a new generation of warriors.

Drawing from roguelikes we love, content is modular and randomized. Each playthrough begins with a random assortment of male and female heroes from various bloodlines, guaranteeing that each game is unique. Your knowledge and skill will increase over multiple playthroughs, but the details of every game will change based on your decisions and the whims of fate.

I'll be honest... I've not actually read/watched much of the stuff on it. Regardless I've backed it on my trust of a fine company. :p
 
Wife overheard me watching the video, and while she wasn't paying any attention to what was really going on in it, she blurted "That sounds fun!" when it came to the heritage feature etc.

That's permission enough for me. Backing! :D
 
Backed this yesterday. Mostly for the behind the scenes videos, really enjoying the Broken Age documentary that Double Fine/2PP are making.
