Legacy of Yu*

During the reign of Emperor Yao, the people of ancient China were plagued by deadly floods along the Yellow River. After numerous failures in flood control, Yu, inheriting his father's work, set out to build a series of channels to divert the swelling river. Players step into the role of Yu the Great in a fully resettable, non-linear solo campaign, aiming to construct the channels while defending their growing village against neighboring barbarian tribes.
