Age of Tyranny or Beloved Dynasty: Build Your Legacy of Power

Paris / France / December 15th, 2021 – New Franco-Swedish publisher, Firesquid Games, and Finnish developer, Resistance Games, have now officially announced Great Houses of Calderia, an ambitious grand strategy game that invites would-be rulers to claim their own birthright while maintaining deep and complex bonds with family and bordering houses.

Run your house and interact with your family to successfully form diplomatic relations with neighboring houses. It’s up to you to secure your family’s future and secure your legacy: will your family’s rule be remembered as a beloved dynasty or an eerie distant memory as an age of tyranny? The choice is yours.

Players take on the role of one of the many great houses of Calderia. It’s more than just ruling as a leader, but maintaining an entire family full of unique characters that can act of their own volition during your reign, bringing dynamism and immersion to the game. The stakes are high when it comes to sending your family across the land of Calderia, as based on their actions, they can cause ripples in forged alliances.
