Games Like Breeding Pit

You are the Dark Lord. The pit is yours.

Beneath a ruined tower, an exiled sorcerer digs a breeding pit and raises an orc host to break the Bright Realms. Every whelp born there carries real genes from its sire and its dam: some awake, some sleeping, some that will only surface three generations later. Breed well and your horde grows stronger with every birth. Breed badly and you'll find out on the battlefield.

Breed them

Send them to war

Four orcs and their summons on a 3x2 grid, one shared pool of action points in retro-styled RPG battles. When a gene fires, the game tells you whose blood it came from. Raid five realms of Men, Elves, Dwarves, Lake-folk and Eyrie knights, then storm the White Spire and put out the Light.

Raise a dynasty

Run it again

Each march is a roguelite run along a branching map: camps, traders, events, elites and a ruler at the end of every realm. Retreat at a camp to bank what you carry, or push on and risk it. Win, and the Dread rises: twenty levels of it. Collect twenty Rings with their own powers. Or try the Daily Pit one seed, the same for everyone, every day.

Run the keep

Station orcs in the fields, mines, lumber camp and forge. Research with the Shaman. Forge gear from recipes you carry home. Recruit at the War Market. Put your best breeders to sleep in the Barrow until you need them. And when the pit is full, the mulch pit is always hungry.
