You are the Pathfinder, a leader appointed by the Scorched Queen to reconquer the wild wastes and find riches for the Scorching City: the last bastion of civilization standing against the Plaguestorm that destroyed the world as we knew it. Unlike most survival city builders, where you have to dedicate yourself to a single city, in Against the Storm you must build a vast and prosperous network of colonies inhabited by diverse fantastic races, each with their own talents and needs.< /p>
But the wilderness holds many hidden dangers and endless storms that will batter its population into surrender. If your colonies collapse, it will be the end of this expedition… But not the game. Against the Storm is a roguelite city builder, which means you’ll keep the resources, upgrades, and experience from your past expeditions each time you start a new journey.
Beavers and lizards meet join humans and harpies in the fight for survival. Use the strengths of each group to balance their various needs: from housing to income preferences, luxuries and recreational activities. Produce raincoats, beer and bake pies to boost the population’s morale in the face of the oppressive hostility of the forest.
Experience the essential mechanics of a city builder enhanced with the replayability characteristic of roguelite. Build new colonies and collect resources for your progressive advancement in improving the Scorching City. Recurring Plaguestorms are an unavoidable threat to colonies, but they also restore the world and open up new opportunities for growth.
With hundreds of gameplay modifiers and 5 distinct biomes, each city will present unique challenges for even the Most ingenious trailblazer. Adapt your strategies to varying climatic conditions and experiment with “blueprints” for your colonies: blueprints with building designs and advantages that can help your society prosper or bring it to ruin. Mix and match ingredients to take advantage of available resources. You never know what the merchants will bring the following year, and the forest holds treasures and resources. But also old threats.
