Massive Chalice is a turn-based tactics video game for Microsoft Windows, OS X, Linux and Xbox One by Double Fine Productions, which was funded through Kickstarter.

[3] In Massive Chalice, the player takes the role of an immortal ruler defending their kingdom, called "the nation", from invasion by an evil force known as the Cadence, whose very touch is deadly to most humans and who leave magical corruption in their wake.

Usually they attack multiple parts of the kingdom at once, but as the Chalice can only send a team of heroes to one location at a time, the player must decide which battle to fight to keep Cadence corruption from destroying the land.

[24][25] Destructoid gave the game a six, calling nation management "simple and sterile" while writing, "Massive Chalice is both beautiful and approachable, somewhat rare qualities in the genre...By mid-game, what was novel and enticing becomes a slog".

Game Informer called the title "rough around the edges, but hard to put down", criticizing its graphics, lack of attention to detail, user interface, and lackluster score, while praising its compelling gameplay.

Most notably, you need to accept that it's more about making the best of a flawed hand than building a perfect system", noting that the experience was tough and called the title "a huge return to form" for Double Fine.

PC Gamer criticized the poor AI and called the combat "well-executed but insubstantial", while noting that the bloodlines concept was by far Massive Chalice's greatest feature.

GameSpot similarly praised the game's eugenics experiments, combat, lighthearted tone, while criticizing its art style and heroes for lacking personality and its inability to express important information to the player.
