Against the Storm
Rogue-lites have evolved by leaps and bounds over recent years, but there’s been nothing quite like Against the Storm. As a city-builder, players must establish settlements at the behest of the Scorched Queen in a world beset by the titular storm. Each region is randomly generated with unique points of interest and modifiers that can aid (or hinder) your progress, and it’s your job to fulfill orders. Making the best use of the given buildings, resources, workers, and buffs is essential to this, as is expanding out into the land (at the risk of raising hostility). While some may prefer a more established city to manage, Against the Storm mixes survival, resource management and reactivity into an unusually compelling gameplay loop.
