THE HEIRS OF ETERNITY
The Heirs of Eternity is a roguelite XCOM-like in a science-fantasy setting in development by Jotun Games. You and your squad of heroes engage in turn-based tactical combat as you expand your empire across a mysterious and alien world.
It is a world that is ancient beyond comprehension. Eons before your ancestors roamed the lands, countless empires rose to greatness and crumbled to dust, their origins so diverse and outlandish that they elude chronicling. Some hailed from faraway lands, others came down from the starry skies, from planets unheard of. And yet others wielded knowledge and technology so advanced you cannot distinguish it from magic.
The reason behind their collapse is shrouded in mystery. That they were here, though, is certain. Their artifacts litter the lands, brimming with latent and immense power. Yet the elders forbid their use. While your clan has withered in retreat for generations, they refuse the power of the artifacts kept within the vaults. Blind to the tales of valor and exploration depicted on the many tapestries lining the halls, they ordain a timid life within your clan’s borders.
But your people cannot thrive like this. As the heir to the throne, it falls to you to lead your people out of hiding. To guide your clan towards greatness, out of the shadows of the empires that came before.
It’s time you relight the beacons, gather your band of adventurers, and reclaim what is yours.
