Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0.57/day in the week to Aug 20 → 6.43/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,402 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.
About
Lead the last survivors in the aftermath of the Cataclismo as a corrupted world seeks to destroy all that remains of humanity. Build fortresses brick by brick, designing intricate, towering structures of wood and stone to fend off waves of Horrors as they attempt to overwhelm your band of survivors. Command powerful units in their stalwart defense, coordinating their varied capabilities as you race from breach to breach. Lead forays into the unknown to secure the vital resources needed to grow your military might and construction capabilities as you hold fast against the ever-growing onslaught – siege after siege, night after night.
Far from the relative safety of the Last City, your citadels and outposts hold back the hordes of Horrors before they can strike at the heart of humanity. Build impregnable fortresses across multiple biomes using an intricate building system that allows you to design your defenses with full freedom and strategic creativity, adapting your plans to the surrounding environment. Take advantage of natural chokepoints, height advantages, and local resources as you strategize for the challenge of each upcoming night’s attack.
A highly modular building system allows you to design your fortresses exactly as you desire – one piece at a time, with blueprints you have designed in advance, or using community creations shared by other players. Use your hard-earned resources to build structures that grant access to previously unreachable parts of the map, or construct fortifications that deny the Horrors access and provide your troops safe vantage points.
Build cheaply and quickly using wood, or establish quarries and use durable stone to better withstand the onslaught. Keep an eye on structural integrity and load-bearing columns as falling pieces will kill friend and foe alike, often creating unique opportunities to crush numerous enemies with cleverly placed vulnerabilities.
Adapt your fortress to growing needs as you acquire new tools and expand in an attempt to secure all the resources needed to sustain a powerful defensive force. Optimize the path from resource deposits to your warehouses with well placed structures and use rooftop construction to make the most of your limited space.
Though the Horrors may test your defenses during the day, only at night do they pour forth in full force. Spend your days exploring the world and pursuing the growth of your fortress, but as the sun starts to set, you would be wise to position your forces in preparation for the night’s onslaught.
Skillfully command soldiers ranging from sharp-eyed bowmen to explosive cannoneers to respond to an ever-evolving situation as new Horrors emerge. Draw the enemy into chokepoints lined with devastating traps and ambush them raining down fire arrows and pots of poison flung from your battlements. Maneuver your troops into precise tactical positions to take advantage of special traits and abilities made available as they upgrade, positioning them at heights that let them perform at their best – a wise architect can design fortresses that allow for a tiered defense.
Build vital structures to sustain your defenses against the growing threat and unlock higher levels of prosperity alongside new technologies. Resource gathering outposts, unit recruitment centers, and housing for your citizens all directly and indirectly support your troops in their efforts. Should the walls falter, even your citizens' homes can be used as a secondary layer of defense – you must protect the citadel at all costs.
Cataclismo contains all three of: an epic single-player narrative campaign; a skirmish mode featuring hand-crafted maps; and an endlessly replayable challenge mode that puts you to the test on procedurally generated maps where you fend off increasingly dangerous waves of Horrors. A complex map editor gives you the ability to design and share skirmish maps of your own to challenge the community while the intricate construction system will allow the architecturally inclined to build and share blueprints and help others in their defense against the Horrors.
The Cataclismo left the world devastated. But all hope is not lost – lead humanity through the darkness to a bright future as you design grand fortresses and command troops in real-time battles against a seemingly endless horde that will stop at nothing to see your people destroyed.

战役有bug，第五章书虫，书无法拾起。 游戏没有想象中的好玩。城墙越高血量越厚的设定并不好。造出来的建筑不好看，而且只有楼梯，没有梯子。导致建筑因为要加旋转楼梯而变得异常奇怪。 自由度虽然高，但是可选建筑非常少。我以为会有什么枪炮，巨弩之类的，或者是有护城河啥的。但是都没有，而且怪的种类也很少。个性化低，就改改数值而以。 在攻城和守城这方面内容很少很少。守城全靠人。 评价就是很差劲的游戏，就完全是糊弄人。内容少的可怜
I love most of this game, but not piecing together a wall one brick at a time. Unfortunately, this tedious step happens (unsurprisingly) every level, which would be fine, but it never really gets any faster or less monotonous.

Really good unique and fun game. Good replayability and developers are constantly putting out new maps and updates. a lot of fun for a beta and well polished. Great job.

Cataclismo tem ideias excelentes mas a execução deixa desejar. A mecânica de construir paredes e muralhas é legal mas engessada, o jeito mais otimizado de se jogar é fazer muros altos com muitos arqueiros e algumas unidades de ataque em área para segurar o avanço da horda, todo o fluxo geral do jogo não vai fugir disso. Coletar recursos é um processo lento e tudo custa muito para se criado, construções, unidades e tecnologias, um gameplay que fica frustrante e tedioso a longo prazo. Eu acharia melhor que todo o jogo fosse como as missões opcionais de "Tower Defense" da campanha onde tu tens recursos e unidades que são limitadas e fixas, tendo que montar suas defesas a partir disso do que ter que ficar coletando materiais e abrindo o terreno para construir bases, essa progressão lenta demais garante que você nunca consiga desenvolver a sua estratégia tempo, uma dificuldade extremante artificial forçada pelas mecânicas mal balanceadas desse jogo.
Je suis assez divisé, d'un côté le concept est original et prenant, de l'autre j'ai l'impression d'être paradoxalement pas très libre de mes choix. Si le jeu se présente comme une sorte de sandbox eh bien, en fait non. Oui vous pouvez posez vos bâtiments et murs comme vous voulez, où vous voulez, mais si ce n'est pas là où les game-designers le voulaient eh bien vous risquez de perdre ... Une comparaison simple, avec un jeu similaire, They are Billions : -Dans TAB, vous avez plusieurs unités complémentaires, qui se débloquent au fil du jeu. Mais vous pouvez très bien n'en spam qu'un certain type. De la même manière, chaque unité à une sorte de capacité qui le rendra utile jusque quais la fin du jeu (les archers sont silencieux, le sniper tire de loin etc ...) -Dans Cataclismo vous avez déjà une limite d'unités (vraiment faible selon moi), qui vous force à courir pour rush les unités end-games, et remplacer vos unités de base afin d'optimiser vos slots d'unités. Ce faible nombre vous force aussi à micro-manager jusque la fin de partie, afin de bouger vos unités en fonction d'où vient l'attaque. En fait pour moi, il y a tromperie sur la marchandise. C'est un puzzle-game scénarisé, rien d'autre. C'est beau, bien réalisé, mais le concept n'est pas ce qu'il semble être.
Hogardians! After 67 hours of playtime chasing all the achievements, I can confidently say this was a great game and an excellent first attempt at the RTS/Builiding genre. The real-time strategy with creative building mechanics was a lot of fun and constructing towering fortresses while carefully positioning troops is essential for survival at the highest difficulty. Every wave feels like a puzzle, and the sense of completion after just clutching a win on the final expert wave is incredible. The game strikes an amazing balance between thoughtful planning and combat. You’re constantly challenged to adapt, optimise resource collection, and innovate your designs, but it never feels overwhelming. It’s clear the developers put immense care into every aspect— and for a first attempt in the genre, it's great. Achieving 100% completion was tough, largely due to the Skirmish maps being quite the challenge compared to the campaign, and usually I'd be the first to give up chasing those last few achievements. But, the improvements with each failed attempt or reload were addictive. The campaign, side missions, and various challenge modes overall offer some really nice depth and variety, and there's a constant sense of progression. If you're a fan of well-designed Tower Defence/RTS games, Cataclismo is absolutely worth your time and I'm looking forward to expansions/sequels (if we get any!)
Feature Complete, and a great city builder defence game. Would recommend utilizing the blue print feature because eventually building your defences become tedious.
The game asks too much of your time for not much payoff. Building walls isn't that satisfying, but you'll be doing it alot. Placing air filters is required, but you'll be wasting time building a pile of stairs that never feels great to build. Defending against waves is no stress because you have the ultimate power save/load in universe even. So that part also falls flat. The game has no tension, and the building isn't satisfying.
After playing They Are Billions, I really wanted this game to be what I was looking for. Being able to build my own castle and strategically build the optimal setup to stop wave after wave after.... wait what? That I can only have a very limited amount of units on the map? So that Great wall I built cant be completely full with the strongest unit in the game? And thats where the things start to crumble (Not only my walls). [h3]Pros:[h3] - Build castle and walls how YOU want to. The games strongest point and can easily use hours and just have fun with this. I can not understate how much fun it is and how much time I spent on just this one thing. - Build the army that you want to compose. - Terrain height and weather effects the way you play. [h3]Cons: [h3] - Not being able to man every great wall you have built since there is a unit cap. "Well just expand your unit cap", well thats not enough. - I want rows of units standing on my walls, but instead I have to limit it to the same optimal unit composition of 2-3 different types of teams consisting of 7-8 units. - Story is VERY bad. I stopped listening to their horrible voice acting, poor character design and even worse character development. - Story is using a "mechanic" called "fold time". Its basically a save mechanic, and serves no purpose for the story really. - You can pet a raven in mission select.... it does nothing, serves no purpose. - Terrain works horribly with the free camera mode. Several times when I was trying to build a stairway along a pillar in campaign, I was fighting the camera more than it was needed. [h3]Conclusion:[h3] It had a potential to to be a great game. However, the story reminds me of some of the story from Homeworld 3, absolute ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and makes me completely uninterested in the campaign. By the time I got to the 3rd last mission, I just wanted the game to end so I could put it in the back burner. The construction of castle, walls and optimising the living quarters is so much fun though. Creating things with these mechanics were so cool, and it is by far the games strongest point.
