Heard on Kotakuabout this strategy RPG from Idea Factory/RED calledRecord of Agarest War. At first tender romantic blush, it’s a strategy RPG — but it turns out you may propagate your heroic DNA with the game’s heroines to create a successor, whose stats will be a combination of yours and hers. depending on which babymomma you choose.
