Legacy of Yu

Long ago, ancient China was plagued by devastating floods from the Yellow River. Emperor Yao looked for someone who could put an end to them. After years of failed attempts with dams and dikes, Yu took over his father's task. Instead of holding back the water, he chose canals that led the river to the fields and smaller streams. In Legacy of Yu you step into the shoes of this legendary hero. This is a game you play entirely on your own, but it feels like a big adventure that unfolds over several games. You build canals before the water arrives, and at the same time you defend your growing village against hostile tribes nearby. Every time you play, a piece of the story is added and you discover new parts that keep making the game different. The nice thing is that the game adapts to how well you are doing. If it comes easily to you, the challenge grows. If things go against you, you get a helping hand. The campaign ends as soon as you have won or lost seven times. After that you can reset everything and experience the story all over again.
