You are the Viceroy, a leader who has been ordered by the Burnt Queen to reclaim the wilderness and find the lost riches of the Burning City, the last bastion of civilization in the fight against the Plague Storm that has destroyed the old world. Unlike most city-building survival games, where we focus on a single city, in "Against the Storm" you have to build a vast, rich network of settlements inhabited by different fantastic races, each with its own specializations and requirements. There are many dangers lurking in the wilderness, and endless storms will take their toll on your population. If your settlement falls, the expedition may be over, but it doesn't play. "Against the Storm" is a roguelite city-building game, which means that every time you start a new quest, resources, upgrades, and experience from your previous expeditions will be transferred to it. Foxes, beavers and lizards fight for survival alongside humans and harpies. Leverage each group's strengths to meet their diverse needs, from homes and culinary preferences to taste for luxury and entertainment. Will you craft raincoats, brew beer, and bake cakes to boost morale in the face of the brutal hostility of the forest, or will you put the needs of one species above others to act more efficiently on behalf of the Burnt Queen? Experience a game that combines city building with roguelite replayability. Build and manage multiple settlements scattered across a large world map, while also collecting valuable meta-progression resources that are needed to expand the Burning City. Feel the pressure from the demanding monarch. The Burnt Queen expects constant progress, and the relentless Plague Storms pose a constant threat to your settlements. Manage your reputation to achieve success in any settlement before you start another. Constantly seek new opportunities to grow, take on unique challenges in multiple environments, and prepare for the imminent destruction of everything except the Burning City. What will you do to make the most of each cycle and ensure not only the best possible fate for the Burning City, but also for your career as Viceroy? With hundreds of gameplay modifiers and 6 different environments, each city presents unique challenges to even the most skilled Viceroy. Adapt your strategy to changing weather conditions and experiment with building plan sets and perks that will help your society flourish or bring it to ruin. Will you undertake to pursue additional goals, go deep into a dangerous forest in search of potential rewards, or maybe you decide to act carefully and measure your strength against your intentions? In addition, you never know what goods the merchant will bring in the next year, and the forest hides resources and treasures, but also ancient dangers.
