Rain is great. Too much rain, though, sucks! Not just because everything is constantly wet, moldy, and cold, but because with enough rain you’ll start getting floods. And floods are no fun. Ask the people who’ve had to watch their entire house float downriver…
‘Against the Storm’ is a roguelite city building game. You play as the Queen’s viceroy. For anyone who doesn’t know, a viceroy is a high-ranking official who makes sure that the king or queen’s instructions and wishes get carried out.
On behalf of your Queen, you need to manage new settlements of humans, lizard people, and beavers in the wilds that are being settled under the Queen’s command. Your ultimate goal is to rebuild the ‘Smouldering City,’ which is civilization’s only chance at surviving the ‘Blightstorm.’
In the fantasy universe that you find yourself in, it never stops raining, and the ‘Blightstorm’ destroys everything in its path. Only the ‘Smouldering City’ can survive it.
You can build multiple ‘cities’ as you expand your colony to provide all the resources the 3 factions under your supervision need. The game features roguelike elements that allow “endless replayability,” with as many cities and settlements as you like.
You need to upgrade the ‘Citadel,’ the heart of your kingdom, to resist the effects of the ‘Blightstorm.’ Circumstances will also change constantly, and with changing circumstances you will need to adapt your methods and strategies if you wish to survive the ‘Blightstorm’ with all the people under you.
The game features in-depth city building, resource production automation, and production network creation, mechanics. No game will be the same as the previous one, allowing you to test your industrial and technical ingenuity in new ways, over and over again.
