Roguelite building game Against the Storm has 95% positive reviews on Steam. You can now save money in the winter sale and players say: It’s just as good as everyone says.
What kind of game is this? Against the Storm is a roguelite building game in which you have to rebuild a settlement over and over again because a storm destroys it. It was published on December 8, 2023 by Hooded Horse and developed by Eremite Games.
In Against the Storm you have to look after your residents and be careful not to clear the forest around you too much, because that has consequences. And the queen isn’t particularly patient. As you try to calm her mood, you will constantly be faced with new challenges.
Each successfully built settlement gives you rewards that you can use to purchase improvements. This makes the rounds easier or allows you to tackle higher levels of difficulty. The fact that you don’t build a city endlessly, as is the case in Anno, for example, is what makes Against the Storm so special.
