    Happy 10th birthday to Massive Chalice!!! Just in case you waited ten years to play it, did you know it's up on Game Pass? Still fun, still massive!

    112) Massive Chalice. An excellent hook - your heroes in a squad-based fantasy combat game age and die, and you have to marry them off to each other to have offspring to continue their work - let down by a mostly very average set of procedurally generated missions.

    Couldn't get any of them but I think I deserve a Steam key for having just recommended Massive Chalice as a game more people should play bsky.app/profile/tuba...

    My recovery is coming along, I’ve been playing the game Massive Chalice (on gamepass). I’m very entertained, gameplay can be slow or fast as you want. Ofc I do spend a lot of time trying to matchmake my heroes. I literally just have the ladies as the head of the keep 👸🏼

    Massive Chalice isnt like a stupendous turn based tactical game but it's not bad. Different mix of factors to juggle than most games, which is neat. Only tactical game from Double Fine, which is kinda cool. On sale for $8. store.steampowered.com/app/246110/M...

    Who else remembers Massive Chalice? That was a fun game, you could save the world with a bloodline of anemic nearsighted coward heroes if you played it wrong

    Breeding in Tactical Games isn't weird, its smart. Thats why Massive Chalice did it (see pics, ofc CSE will be less shy about it😘). Breeding allows a generational game, which fixes save scumming & allows new chars to develop. Reduced attachment problem can be fixed by reincarnation mechanic💡 #xcom

    Massive Chalice was a fantastic game, and poked all the right X-COM-like buttons I needed moved at the time it came out. Absolutely one of my all time representations of “legacy” as a concept in games, and one of my favorite Double Fine experiences (Stacking and Massive Chalice are tied at the top)

    I feel like I can say this as this game predates my time at Double Fine by like a decade but as much as I'm enjoying the battle parts of Mewgenics it's making me want to replay MASSIVE CHALICE

    I remember coming across their Massive Chalice streams years ago as well, and it taught me so much just by absorbing how technical people discuss their game. Check out their naming conventions, how their levels are set up, the thought process, everything! There's so much to learn from their videos!❤️

    Massive Chalice has no plot or dialogue to speak of and is on a seriously steep discount now: store.steampowered.com/app/246110/M...

    Double Fine's Massive Chalice, a turn-based strategy game from 2015, does something a bit like it. The game plays out over 300 years and your characters will grow old and die. You have to manage when to retire them to sire strong offspring, when to train up newcomers etc. It's a fun twist.

    I really liked Massive Chalice, just a strong feeling of "this game has a vision of what it wants to do". Enjoyed that ride immensely.

    Double fine's unique tactics game Massive Chalice is potentially one of the best "forgotten" games in the catalog currently.

    In my career, I want to make games with the following vibes: - XCOM / Battletech / Massive Chalice - Wipeout - Halo Reach - Star Wars Battlefront 2 (2005, the good one) - A sandbox game where you get to be a space pirate or wasteland bandit - a game with a crafting system that isn't boring

    Massive Chalice is a turn-based strategy game that blends XCOM-style combat with kingdom management and a dynasty system. The kingdom is at war with a mysterious enemy called Cadence. store.steampowered.com/app/246110/M... #game #review #steam

    15. Massive Chalice. I love multi-generational games, whether they're rooted in written characters or random-generated ones. This is the latter. Despite its core gameplay being startlingly similar to XCOM, its dynastic multi-century scope and strategy make it a lovely tell-yourself-stories game.

    I will be starting Massive Chalice early, at 4pm est to try and finish that game today. If we lose the run we'll come back to it another time cause I really don't want to start fresh.

    One of my fave turn based games, MASSIVE CHALICE, is on 80% discount on Steam. It's an xcom like tactical battler with a fantasy theme. store.steampowered.com/app/246110/M...

    Massive Chalice (video game) has three classes - warrior, alchemist, archer. Which all have interesting themes. But it's a multi generational game, and classes produce children that combine the classes in cool ways. Like, an alchemist + fighter makes a different combo than fighter + alchemist

    Oh dang... I'd love to play thru The Cave, or Massive Chalice, or a lot of other games around that period of time. I also had binged all the at-the-time available Blackwell games, which did NOT include the last game. So I never finished that series. 😅 I'd stream Brutal Legend but I'm sure the […]

    Massive Chalice is a great game people should revisit Fresh take on XCom's base management/combat split: your base is a kingdom with a few families that generate the warriors you need for battle Too much inbreeding and you'll have nothing but asthmatic drunks

    @doublefine.com I just found your account on Blue sky. I just wanted to say that "Massive Chalice" was My Game of the Year once way back when. I still think about it to this day. Thank you. But also when is the sequel coming!?!!?

    Single player, but re-shouting out what I shouted out on this thread, Double Fine's beautiful generation spanning MASSIVE CHALICE. Tactical game where your heroes become teachers, use their XP to train the next generation. bsky.app/profile/dana... www.doublefine.com/games/massiv...

    Yesterday I was driving along, minding my own when a chord change took me straight to the music and feeling of playing Massive Chalice, a game I really love but haven’t played in several years. (That’ll be changing this week!) What game music haunts and inspires you? What are your favorites?
