One of our favourite things to do here at Rogueliker is spotlight smaller games that might have slipped under your radar.
One that should be on your wishlists is Successor, a dark fantasy roguelite strategy adventure that is set in a stylised miniature universe. A Kickstarter has just been released for the game, with the devs seeking to raise £21,360 to fund the final stages of development.
The game is the latest release from Danish studio Playwood Project. The team’s last game Wartile is set within the same miniaturised universe as Successor. It’s said to contain, however, deeper tactical systems, procedural content, richer lore, and a bold blend of real-time with pause combat and roguelite progression.
According to the game’s Steam page, it will allow players to generate their own campaigns and complete challenges to unravel and expand their miniature universe. After choosing one of three Lords, they can recruit and equip hero classes, as they push through procedurally generated regions toward a climactic duel against the final Ruler of the Kingdom.
“Successor is our love letter to miniature fantasy and tactical gameplay,” says Michael Rud, CEO and Creative Director at Playwood Project. “With our community’s support, we want to bring the world of Successor to life as a lasting franchise, one built on exploration, strategic depth, and a truly unique visual style.“
A demo for Successor has been released on Steam, and it features the tutorial campaign Betrayal, plus the exclusive campaign Lord of Bones, which is only avaliable for the demo.
