About Against the Storm

Against the Storm makes you the Viceroy, tasked by the Scorched Queen with reclaiming the wilderness and recovering lost riches for the Smoldering City, civilization's final refuge against the Blightstorm that destroyed the old world. Unlike most survival city builders that keep you fixed on a single settlement, this one has you weaving together a whole network of prosperous outposts, each home to different fantasy races with their own specializations and needs.

The wilds are unforgiving, and relentless storms will grind your people down. If a settlement falls, the expedition may end, but the game doesn't, because Against the Storm is a roguelite city builder, carrying forward the resources, upgrades, and hard-won experience of past runs each time you venture out anew. That loop fuses classic city-building with roguelite replayability and meta-progression you collect along the way.

Managing a diverse population sits at the heart of it. Beavers, lizards, foxes, humans, and harpies all struggle to survive side by side, and you'll juggle their varied demands, from housing and food preferences to luxuries and recreation, crafting raincoats, brewing ale, and baking pies to keep morale up against the forest's oppressive hostility. As a simulation and strategy PC game, it turns settlement-building into an ever-changing, high-stakes journey into the wild.
