About
You are the Viceroy – a leader charged by the Scorched Queen to reclaim the wilderness and discover lost riches for the Smoldering City, civilization's last bastion against the Blightstorm that destroyed the old world. Unlike most survival city builders where your focus is on a single city, in Against the Storm you must build a vast, prosperous network of settlements populated by diverse fantasy races, each with their own specializations and needs.
The wilderness holds many hidden dangers, and never-ending storms will batter your population into submission. If your settlements should fall, then the expedition may end – but not the game. Against the Storm is a roguelite city builder, meaning you will carry forward the resources, upgrades, and experience of your past expeditions each time you set off for a new journey into the wild.
Foxes, beavers, and lizards stand alongside humans and harpies in the struggle to survive. Utilize each group's strengths as you balance their varying needs, from housing and culinary preferences to taste in luxuries and recreation. Will you manufacture raincoats, brew ale, and bake pies to boost morale in the face of the oppressive hostility of the forest, or will you prioritize the needs of one species over another to operate more swiftly for the Scorched Queen?
Experience core city builder gameplay enhanced by roguelite replayability. Build and manage multiple settlements spread out across a large world map, all while collecting valuable meta-progression resources to upgrade the Smoldering City. Feel the pressure of an expectant monarch as the Scorched Queen demands constant progress while recurring Blightstorms pose an inevitable threat to your settlements. Manage your reputation to secure your success at any one settlement before moving on to establish another, constantly seeking new opportunities for growth, taking on unique challenges across multiple biomes, and bracing for the inevitable destruction of everything but the Smoldering City itself. How will you maximize each cycle to not just ensure the best fate for the Smoldering City, but for your career as Viceroy as well?
With hundreds of gameplay modifiers and 6 distinct biomes, every city location presents unique challenges for even the most resourceful Viceroy. Adjust your strategy to changing weather conditions and experiment with rosters of building blueprints and perks that can help your society thrive or bring it to ruin. Will you take on and complete additional objectives and delve deeper into the dangerous forest for potential boons, or will you approach with caution to ensure you operate within your capabilities? All the while, you never know what wares the Trader will bring next year, and the forest holds treasures and resources, but also ancient threats.
Laying the foundations for a new city is one of the most exciting moments in a city-building game. In Against the Storm, you'll have the opportunity to repeatedly experience this by creating new settlements, while still interacting with your network of previously established cities in a growing world.

Este juego es el culpable de haberme enganchado al género de construcción y planificación de ciudades Pros: -Arte bastante decente. Pese a no ser un gran fan del 3D, los asentamientos son bonitos y el diseño de personajes en mi opinión está muy bien -Tooltips e información buenas -Variedad en las partidas -Buenísima rejugabilidad como roguelike que es -Mucha variedad de eventos y estrategias viables -Curva de dificultad buena. Es desafiante pero en ese buen sentido de los roguelikes -Vicia que flipas -Muy buena adaptación al castellano -Descuentos grandes constantes -Te da en todo el autismo de la optimización -Es muy original -Las horas vuelan -Sin tener experiencia en city builders (sí que he jugado otros juegos de gestión) se me ha hecho accesible -En modos más fáciles tiene una vibra más cozy, en dificultades más altas es una pesadilla de gestión en el buen sentido Puntos neutros: -Necesitarás paciencia. Si eres impaciente y no te gusta estar pausando para organizar todo... probablemente no sea para ti -No tiene nada de combate, es pura gestión. Los enemigos y amenazas son ambientales y... eso, de gestión -Su condición de roguelike hace que (aunque especialmente en dificultades más altas las runs sean larguitas) no puedas crear ciudades y proyectos súper súper megalómanos como en otros city builders como Rimworld o Dwarf Fortress. En ese sentido es mucho más importante el lado de la gestión de recursos que el del sandbox así que sería más similar a juegos como Wiskerhood o Frostpunk que los anteriormente mencionados -La historia es del todo irrelevante Puntos negativos: -Pese a que considero que el precio base merece la pena (además de tener constantes descuentos enormes), los DLCs, aunque bastante importante tenerlos, son algo caros para lo que agregan En conclusión: el que no tenga nada más negativo que decir de este juego te dice todo lo que deberías saber. ¡Cómpralo!
♥♥♥♥ is gas its a rogue lite puzzle city builder
The most fun part of city building is laying it all out. It's really satisfying to get to do it again and again. Really fun game!
I got hooked real fast and real good. Tried the game during the last free weekend, and loved it so much i bought it before the free weekend was even over. It's that good ! Graphics-wise its very nice, reminds me a lot of warcraft 3. Very cool. Runs perfectly on my 6+yo laptop, even with cpu turbo disabled because it's f*cking hot right now in europe and i don't want it to overheat. Gameplay-wise it's AWESOME, it's like scratching an itch i didn't know i had: build your city, and when its doing well enough, onto the next one. It fixes an issue i have (and i don't think im alone) with games like Civ, Stellaris or Cities Skylines, where i build massive cities or empires but get bored before the "end". At first i was kind of skeptical, but the whole game plays like a mix between a city builder and roguelike, every settlement is different, you have different races of villagers, different biomes, different effects, different buildings. So it doesn't get stale at all, au contraire, i often find myself going straight into another run because i can't wait to see of the next settlement is going to go. Oh and of course, there is an upgrade tree, and the difficulty levels don't just scale the difficulty but also bring new mechanics. Overall, brilliant idea, and brilliant execution. Would recommend to anyone that is into city builders / civ-like games or wants to try the genre.

Great game, devs are always improving their game and are very good at listening to community feedback, and this is genuinely one of the easiest ways to lose a day and not realize it. Love the game and can't wait for a rainy weekend to dive back in.
Нормально. Бобро-дварфы пилят деревья, людишки собирают траву, а рептилоиды греют хвосты в теплых производственных помещениях. В целом, геймплей быстро становится понятным но лично мне на пятом часу уже надоедает - дождь, потом солнце, потом снова дождь. На фоне смены погоды у жителей фэнтезийного Санкт-Петербурга разыгрывается то истерия с желанием все бросить и уехать в Сочи, то блаженное забытие. Главная задача копить денюжку (янтарь?) чтобы потом на него покупать здания и обустраивать болото, не гневить королеву и открывать поляны со всяким разным очень нужным. Покупать не буду, но попробовать было интересно, в выходные позалипал.
好玩爱玩，杀时间利器
