Legacy of Yu is a solo-only, fully-resettable, nonlinear campaign game set during Emperor Yao's reign amid deadly Yellow River floods plaguing ancient China. Players embody Yu the Great of the Xia Dynasty, inheriting his father Gun's failed dam-and-dike efforts after nine years, to instead build canals directing water into fields and waterways. Core challenges involve preemptively constructing canals before floods and defending the expanding village from barbarian incursions. Each session introduces evolving stories and gameplay elements, supported by a self-balancing mechanism that adjusts to performance, culminating in campaign resolution after seven victories or defeats. ---
