Against the Storm blends city-building with roguelike elements, creating a unique gameplay experience focused on short-term goals in an unsettling environment. Players must build settlements for the queen amidst a grim world plagued by recurrent storms that obliterate progress. This design choice shifts the focus from long-term city management to immediate objectives, adding urgency as players work to meet the queen's demands. The game challenges traditional city-building conventions by introducing a cycle of destruction and rebuilding, refreshing the genre with its intriguing mechanics and dark atmosphere.
The world here is constantly awash in gloom, thanks to an unforgiving cycle of storms that's rendered it almost uninhabitable.
Your job, as an envoy of the queen, is to spend the time between those storms building settlements to enrich her before it all gets wiped off the map.
