Against the Storm

Against the Storm combines two genres. This is a city planning simulator and part-time roguelike. In this game, the gamer becomes a scout and mayor of different cities. The player is transported to a fantasy world where the rain never stops. The settlements are inhabited by people and humanoid intelligent animals: beavers and lizards.

In Against the Storm, the user, being the queen’s deputy and pioneer, builds and develops colonies in various biomes, and also satisfies the needs of the population. The point of the gameplay is to survive as long as possible and collect more resources. They are necessary to improve and restore the Smoldering City. It is believed to be the only place in the midst of a developing natural disaster. In between solving problems, the Viceroy will upgrade the Citadel in this metropolis. Meta-progression is implemented through it.

Cards are generated randomly each time. Plot-wise, this is justified by Deathstorm. A natural phenomenon destroys everything in its path and changes the land beyond recognition. The development of settlements takes place in real time. The indie project has high replayability not only due to randomness, but also thanks to the perk system and building blueprints. They become available gradually. It will not be possible to build all the houses during one game session. Residents face various threats and a lack of necessary resources. This is compensated by the ability to change production chains.
