Deal | This city-builder set in a dark fantasy universe is 70% off on Steam

Against the Storm is a city builder set in a dark fantasy world in which you play as the viceroy of the Scorched Queen. In this game, your goal is simple, because you have to reclaim the wild lands destroyed by the Blightstorm and recover their riches for the Smoldering City.

Developed by Eremite Games and published by the American studio Hooded Horse, you must build and manage numerous cities as well as different creatures. Indeed, alongside humans, you’ll find foxes, harpies, and lizards, and it will be crucial to meet all their needs and exploit their skills in order to thrive.

Nature is a factor that should not be ignored. Frequent storms will cause damage to your cities and threaten your kingdom. Furthermore, if your settlements are destroyed, you must restart your expedition, while keeping the resources that you have already acquired.

Additionally, you’ll need to meet your queen’s requests, as she will often demand progress and improvements. Your reputation is on the line, and the future of the kingdom depends on you. Finally, if you want to vary your experience, there are more than a hundred gameplay modifiers and six different biomes available.

Since its release on December 8, 2023, on Steam, Against the Storm has received “Very Positive” ratings, as 94% of the 35,402 reviews are positive. It has simple gameplay, and its graphics and soundtrack are popular with players. However, it is not a city-builder with complex mechanics, and you’ll often have to repeat the same tasks to progress. In addition, many bugs are present.
