As darkness stirs in the world of Agarest, guide a line of heroes through a continuing war. The story spans five generations, with each hero carrying the legacy of those before them. Between story scenes, fight turn-based battles on grid-based maps. Position party members to bring their linked areas together and chain attacks into combined skills and combos. During each generation, build relationships with three female party members, then choose one as the hero’s wife. That choice, along with the relationship, shapes the next generation’s protagonist; you can also upgrade and combine equipment at the Blacksmith’s Guild.
Lead a five-generation fantasy bloodline, choose each hero’s bride, and link party attacks in grid-based turn-based battles.
At the dawn of time, a terrible war raged between the forces of good and evil, ending in the destruction of the world of Agarest. After their victory, the Gods of Light unified the decaying bodies of the Gods of Darkness and created a new world.

Some reviewers enjoy the generational premise and the way a bride choice affects the next hero, while others appreciate the characters, story, and tactical possibilities of linked attacks and party builds. These positives are often weighed against battles that reviewers describe as slow and repetitive, with substantial grinding.

Agarest: Generations of War - Exclusive game features!
Agarest: Generations of War includes many unique features that cannot be found in any other Strategy Role Playing Game. Here's a summary of some of the best:
Extended Area
Extended Area is the "Linked Area" set for both your party and your enemies. Each character in the game has a uniquely shaped extended area. When a character's turn comes around, all other characters in the Extended Area of the character in play (and characters in the extended areas of those characters!) can combine in an extended attack. This allows you to chain your party's attacks together, allowing access to more Arts and huge Combos!
Blacksmith's Guild You can upgrade various Items and Equipment at the Blacksmith's Guild in two different ways:
By Enhancement: You can enhance equipment to a maximum of Level 5. Once an Item is enhanced to Level 5, you can convert the Item, changing it into something else. This process is irreversible and the original item is lost. Experimentation reveals some great new items!
Through Alchemy: Alchemy allows you to combine several items to create a single, more powerful piece of equipment. While you lose the items used in the alchemy, you gain a powerful new piece of equipment and permanent access to your new item in the Shop! Alchemy can create powerful new weapons and armour but occasionally a Smithing Accident will occur and the smith will create a different item than what you expected!
The "Soul Breed" system Agarest takes place across 5 generations of heroes, starting with your first character, Leonhardt. During each generation you will build relationships with 3 different female party members, and at the end of each generation's story arc you must choose to marry one of the girls.
Your choice of marriage partner is restricted to girls who've grown fond of you over a particular generation. Your options are determined by your choices during conversations at certain points of the story.
The girl you choose as your wife - and the strength of their relationship with you - will determine the abilities of the main character in the next generation of the story. You'll have to experience multiple play throughs to see all of the character possibilities open to you! What heroes might you create?
