In Successor, players take on the role of a Lord and lead a team of miniature, battle-hardened heroes through exotic regions and handwrought battle boards. Each kingdom is procedurally generated, offering a new challenge every time you play. As players explore, they’ll need to equip their heroes, plan each move carefully, and pick their battles wisely – because defeat comes with real consequences.
“Successor is our love letter to miniature fantasy and tactical gameplay,” says Michael Rud, CEO and Creative Director of Playwood Games. “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.”Successor is available now in Early Access on Steam. Paying close attention to community feedback, players can expect a lot during Early Access with regular content updates planned this summer. Successor features a firm foundation of content, and has a solid roadmap of robust new features and content including new Lords, biomes, enemies, and systems.
In Successor combat unfolds in real-time, but with a full tactical pause system that allows players to freeze time, use abilities and watch them hit before diving back into the real-time battles. Whether fighting through forests, dungeons, or mountains passes, warriors beware as each environment can shift the outcome of battle through terrain effects and environmental modifiers.
