Against the Storm, you’ll embark on an epic journey as the Viceroy, a leader entrusted by the Scorched Queen to reclaim the untamed wilderness and unearth lost riches for the Smoldering City – the last bastion against the devastating Blightstorm that annihilated the old world. Unlike traditional survival city builders,
Against the Storm introduces a unique twist, challenging you to construct a vast and prosperous network of settlements inhabited by diverse fantasy races. Each race possesses distinct specializations and requirements, demanding a delicate balance of resources.
Navigate the perilous wilderness where hidden dangers lurk, and relentless storms threaten to break your population's spirit. The fall of any settlement may spell the end of the expedition, but fear not –
Against the Storm is a roguelite city builder, allowing you to carry forward resources, upgrades, and experience to fuel your next venture into the unknown.
With races consisting of foxes, beavers, lizards, humans, and harpies, you’ll need to utilize the strengths of each group as you juggle their varied needs, from housing and culinary preferences to indulgences in luxuries and recreation. It’ll be up to you to decide whether you manufacture raincoats, brew ale, or bake pies to boost morale against the oppressive forest, or prioritize one species over another for the Scorched Queen's cause.
As mentioned earlier,
Against the Storm’s gameplay is also hugely elevated by roguelite replayability. Manage your reputation to secure your success at any one settlement before moving on to establish another, constantly seeking new opportunities for growth, taking on unique challenges across multiple biomes, and bracing for the inevitable destruction of everything but the Smoldering City itself. How will you maximize each cycle to not just ensure the best fate for the Smoldering City, but for your career as Viceroy as well?
Hundreds of gameplay modifiers and six distinct biomes – every city location presents unique challenges for the resourceful Viceroy. Adapt your strategy to ever-changing weather conditions, experimenting with rosters of building blueprints and perks that can either bolster your society or lead it to ruin. But words can only convey so much, jump into the game and experience the limitless possibilities!
