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.

We summarize a few opinions for you below:

  • “Haze” writes: “In other building games I often had the problem that I would build a city fanatically and after a while I wouldn’t know what to do next. […] That is not the case here. You want to see where the story takes you. […] The music is great too!”
  • “Bombadil15” says: “Great city builder. The mechanics are a little reminiscent of Frostpunk with a twist, which is a good thing!”
  • “Double Impact” writes: “The game is getting better and better. I think that something will happen in the future. I’ve been playing strategy games for a long time (over 30 years) and I think this game really stands out. At the beginning you have to sink your teeth into it a bit.”
  • “Rainbird” says: “Complicated, but also somehow relaxing. Whether you win or lose, it all seems to be just part of the process and never annoying.”
  • “Palumita” writes: “Thanks for all the positive reviews. I would never have tried the game otherwise. And yes, it’s as good as everyone says.”

    • MeinMMO editor Benedict Grothaus has spent a few hours with Against the Storm and says that the building game Against the Storm, with its fantasy comic graphics, is probably not for everyone. But if you like city building and roguelite, you should definitely take a look at the game:
