But 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.
Manage a diverse population of villagers
Beavers and lizards stand alongside humans and harpies in the struggle to survive. Utilize each group’s strengths as you balance varying needs, from housing and culinary preferences to taste in luxuries and recreation. Manufacture raincoats, brew ale, and bake pies to boost morale in the face of the oppressive hostility of the forest.
City Builder meets Roguelite
Experience core city builder gameplay enhanced by roguelite replayability. Build new settlements and collect valuable meta-progression resources to upgrade the Smoldering City. Recurring Blightstorms pose an inevitable threat to settlements, but they also reshape the world and open new opportunities for growth.
Never the same game twice
With hundreds of gameplay modifiers and 5 distinct biomes, every city location presents unique challenges for even the most resourceful Viceroy. Adjust your strategy to changing weather conditions and experiment with settlement “builds” — rosters of building blueprints and perks that can help your society thrive or bring it to ruins. Mix and match ingredients to take advantage of the resources at hand. You never know what wares the Trader will bring next year, and the forest hold treasures, resources… and ancient threats.
Build an endless number of cities
Laying the foundations for a new city is one of the most exciting moments in a city builder game. In Against the Storm, you’ll have the opportunity to repeatedly create new settlements, while still interacting and trading with previously established cities in a growing world.",SeName:"against-the-storm-early-access-2",Url:"https://www.dreamgame.com/en/against-the-storm-early-access-2",ProductType:0,MarkAsNew:!1,Sku:"dc43ce3a-68dc-452b-a4da-9bf18a7ad03f",Flag:null,Gtin:null,Mpn:null,IsFreeShipping:!1,ShowSku:!1,ShowQty:!1,LowStock:!0,EndTime:null,EndTimeLocalTime:null,TaxDisplayType:0,ProductPrice:{Discount:null,OldPrice:null,OldPriceValue:0,CatalogPrice:null,Price:"$29.99",PriceValue:29.99,StartPrice:null,StartPriceValue:0,HighestBid:null,HighestBidValue:0,BasePricePAngV:null,DisableBuyButton:!1,DisableWishlistButton:!1,DisableAddToCompareListButton:!0,AvailableForPreOrder:!1,PreOrderDateTimeUtc:null,ForceRedirectionAfterAddingToCart:!1,AppliedDiscounts:[],PreferredTierPrice:null,UserFields:[]},DefaultPictureModel:{ImageUrl:"https://cdn.dreamgame.com/assets/images/thumbs/6421b14d041b08c420f709f0-against-the-storm-400.jpeg",ThumbImageUrl:null,FullSizeImageUrl:"https://cdn.dreamgame.com/assets/images/thumbs/6421b14d041b08c420f709f0-against-the-storm-400.jpeg",Title:"Show details for Against the Storm",AlternateText:"Picture of Against the Storm",Id:"6421b14d041b08c420f709f0",UserFields:[]},SecondPictureModel:{ImageUrl:null,ThumbImageUrl:null,FullSizeImageUrl:null,Title:null,AlternateText:null,Id:null,UserFields:[]},PlatformPicture:"https://cdn.dreamgame.com/assets/images/thumbs/64ee03dc8a6c33e23522e62a-20.png",SpecificationAttributeModels:[],ProductAttributeModels:[],ReviewOverviewModel:{ProductId:"6421b14d041b08c420f70989",RatingSum:0,TotalReviews:0,AllowCustomerReviews:!0,UserFields:[]},Id:"6421b14d041b08c420f70989",UserFields:[]},{Name:"Empires of the Undergrowth - Early Access",ShortDescription:"About the GameSet in the world of ants, Empires of the Undergrowth is a real-time strategy with extensive nest building and management features: Contr",FullDescription:"About the Game
Set in the world of ants, Empires of the Undergrowth is a real-time strategy with extensive nest building and management features: Control armies of ants in battle against rival colonies, dangerous insects and other critters while autonomous workers respond to your high-level commands to maintain nest operations below ground.
Excavate and construct a nest to your design
Command your worker ants to excavate the earth to your exact specifications. Eggs and food need to flow freely throughout the nest, and soldiers should be able to reach the front lines quickly, so planning out highways and connecting corridors is key to overall colony efficiency.
Command your army with pheromone markers
Ants can be assigned to groups and controlled by placing pheromone markers: They head towards their marker gathering resources or fighting enemies they meet along the way.
You can also assign specific behaviours to your groups. For example, passive workers can collect food even when enemies are nearby, while specialised soldiers can be instructed to ignore food, running straight toward battle. Toggling behaviours efficiently can reduce losses, speed up victory and ultimately turn the tide of battle against a superior foe in your favour.
Battle against opposing colonies, huge insects and other critters
Lots of ant species from all over the world feature in the game with stats and abilities based upon their real-world counterparts. For example, wood ants can spray formic acid from their abdomens, making them the artillery of this miniature battlefield. Enemies need to be kept at bay with hordes of disposable melee soldiers to prevent the delicate sprayers being overwhelmed in close quarters combat.
It's even got two minimaps - wow!
Both the underground nest and the outworld are filled with food and enemies – you can see both at a glance with dual minimaps.
When invading enemy nests, minimap tabs give you access to view multiple underground zones so you can run several raids at the same time and keep track of everything. In the example above there are two enemy colonies nearby!",SeName:"empires-of-the-undergrowth-early-access-3",Url:"https://www.dreamgame.com/en/empires-of-the-undergrowth-early-access-3",ProductType:0,MarkAsNew:!1,Sku:"e7cd8503-45fb-4325-8e10-74f3c6ab2aff",Flag:null,Gtin:null,Mpn:null,IsFreeShipping:!1,ShowSku:!1,ShowQty:!1,LowStock:!0,EndTime:null,EndTimeLocalTime:null,TaxDisplayType:0,ProductPrice:{Discount:null,OldPrice:null,OldPriceValue:0,CatalogPrice:null,Price:"$19.99",PriceValue:19.99,StartPrice:null,StartPriceValue:0,HighestBid:null,HighestBidValue:0,BasePricePAngV:null,DisableBuyButton:!1,DisableWishlistButton:!1,DisableAddToCompareListButton:!0,AvailableForPreOrder:!1,PreOrderDateTimeUtc:null,ForceRedirectionAfterAddingToCart:!1,AppliedDiscounts:[],PreferredTierPrice:null,UserFields:[]},DefaultPictureModel:{ImageUrl:"https://cdn.dreamgame.com/assets/images/thumbs/642d3c968403aaf9ecced591-empires-of-the-undergrowth-early-access-400.jpeg",ThumbImageUrl:null,FullSizeImageUrl:"https://cdn.dreamgame.com/assets/images/thumbs/642d3c968403aaf9ecced591-empires-of-the-undergrowth-early-access-400.jpeg",Title:"Show details for Empires of the Undergrowth - Early Access",AlternateText:"Picture of Empires of the Undergrowth - Early Access",Id:"642d3c968403aaf9ecced591",UserFields:[]},SecondPictureModel:{ImageUrl:null,ThumbImageUrl:null,FullSizeImageUrl:null,Title:null,AlternateText:null,Id:null,UserFields:[]},PlatformPicture:"https://cdn.dreamgame.com/assets/images/thumbs/64ee03dc8a6c33e23522e62a-20.png",SpecificationAttributeModels:[],ProductAttributeModels:[],ReviewOverviewModel:{ProductId:"642d3c968403aaf9eccea528",RatingSum:0,TotalReviews:0,AllowCustomerReviews:!0,UserFields:[]},Id:"642d3c968403aaf9eccea528",UserFields:[]}],Id:"6421b149041b08c420f6bfca",UserFields:[]}}}),catalog=(new Catalog).$mount("#catalog-products")
