PRIDEBLOOD -Born of Claws-

Prideblood: Born of Claws — A Monster Breeding & Auto-Battle Strategy Sim

A breeding-and-battling sim built on the genre's classics — but layered with a living world of four continents, blood resonance, and four-way affinity that rewards long-term thinking. Slow-burn strategy at its core.

How It Plays

You run a small facility. Raise a single monster, send it through the 48-week schedule of battles across the four continents.

Combat is fully automatic. Your role is the long arc: who trains for what, who enters which battle, when to retire to breeding, and how to pair the next generation.

Key Features

A Living World of 1,400 Monsters

Four continents (Ramvald, Harraq, Verdara, Lanhai) host 1,400+ rival monsters that age, fight, retire, breed, and produce offspring entirely independent of your roster. You compete in living history, not against static opponents.

Four-Way Affinity & Eight Builds

Technique → Power → Speed → Intelligence → Technique. Eight build archetypes, sixteen tactical skills, modulated by terrain, weather, and lunar phase. "Who trains what, when" compounds into who wins.

Imperfect Information Raising

Potential, growth curve, and current cap are hidden by default. Your owner's Insight and Appraisal stats reveal them gradually. The "you don't know until you raise it" tension is intentional.

Blood Resonance & Vessel Unlock

5-generation pedigree composition, common ancestors, and nicking compatibility surface as "Blood Resonance" effects on offspring. Multi-generational lineage strategy that rewards experienced players.

100 Achievements

Progression, Battle, Breeding, Rearing, Economy, Discovery, Collection, Challenge — eight categories, four difficulties, all Steam-synced.
