Successor
Engage enemies across diverse biomes, each offering unique tactical options like throwing axes, burnable fields, and wild animals. Occupy archer towers or strategically position your party to gain the upper hand or kick them off a cliff. Successor combines real-time strategy with turn-based tactics, letting you pause command and unleash abilities instantly in a Focus Moment — always keeping you in control without waiting for your turn. At the start of each adventure, you can choose between three unique Lords, each with its own combat style and skill trees. However, the lord alone is not enough. You must build a party of battle-hardened heroes and weaponize them to face the challenges ahead.
Successor is a universe full of unboxed challenges, mysteries, and items set in an adventure generated as procedural regions and kingdoms waiting to be unlocked. Choose your preferred size and difficulty, and add kickers to shape the experience; here, you can unlock new heroes, biomes, and items by completing challenges. Dive into a unique kingdom every time! Our game dynamically crafts new regions and challenges for each run. As you play the universe, you will unlock & uncover new heroes, abilities, weapons, and equipment that will gradually increase your chance of survival as you undertake more dangerous adventures.
