Against the Storm

You are the viceroy of the Scorched Queen, appointed by her to reclaim the barren wastelands and find the lost treasures of the Smoldering City, the last bastion of civilization that miraculously stood firm against the Blightstorm that destroyed the old world. In most survival city-building games, you manage just one city, but in Against the Storm, your task is to build a vast network of thriving settlements, inhabited by a variety of fantastical peoples, each with their own lifestyle, needs, and skills.

The wilderness is filled with unexpected threats, and the constant storms will hinder your wards’ efforts to rebuild. You will lose settlements, expeditions will fail, but this does not mean defeat. Against the Storm is a roguelike game, meaning that even if you fail, you can continue your mission, keeping your resources, upgrades, and experience from previous campaigns.

Beavers, lizards, humans, and harpies help each other survive in this dangerous world. Use the strengths of each race to meet everyone’s needs. Build suitable shelters and provide everyone with food, produce luxury goods, and organize leisure. Sew raincoats, brew ale, bake pies – try to raise the morale of the population in any way possible, which is constantly threatened by a dangerous and unknown forest.

Add roguelike elements to a classic city-building sim and you get a game that is simply impossible to put down. Build new cities and collect valuable resources needed to improve the Smoldering City. Be prepared for Rot Storms that destroy cities – but at the same time change the world and provide new opportunities for development.

New City – new challenges: hundreds of gameplay modifiers and 5 diverse biomes await you. Prove that you are a talented and capable governor. Adapt to difficult weather conditions and experiment with different settlement designs. There are many perks and building plans that you can use to bring your settlement to prosperity or turn it into a lifeless wasteland. Use the resources at your disposal to gain an advantage, and do not forget to visit the merchant, who brings new goods every time. Venture into the forest to find valuable resources, untold treasures… and ancient dangers.  

Establishing a new city is one of the most exciting moments in any city-building game. In Against the Storm, you can constantly create new settlements to expand your territory, and interact and trade with previously established cities. How big can your cities grow before the storm hits… or does the Scorched Queen lose her patience?
