Against the Storm
A city builder you finish in an hour, then do again with different rules. Rain, rain, and more rain.
What you actually do
Build short-lived settlements in a rain-soaked forest to send goods back to the Queen. Each settlement is a run of about an hour with random buildings and goals. Between runs you upgrade your capital.
Who will love it
City builder fans who like the idea of short, varied sessions instead of one giant city.
Roguelite city builder
Each settlement is a fresh start with different options. It keeps planning fresh every time.
Rain cycles
Drizzle, Clearance and Storm change what buildings can do. Planning for the storm is key.
Species
Humans, beavers, lizards and more each have needs. Mixing them well is the challenge.
Plus
- Short, satisfying runs
- Endless variety
- Clear goals
Minus
- PC only
- Hard at higher difficulties
Bottom line
The freshest city builder in years, ideal for short evenings.
