Hooded Horse and Eremite Games their plans for 2023’s survival town builder, Against the Storm. It includes 🍸two free updates to further 🍒polish the game, as well as DLC with additional content.
Against the Storm was among my favorite games released last year for combining city building with roguelite elements to create a meaningful experience about efficiency and adaptability. It puts you in a fight against the harsh elements of a beleaguered world and the extremely short patience of a powerful monarch. Your onl🍌y weapon is your well-honed urban planning skills.
Only the contents of the first patch (1.2) are revealed on the roadmap and consist mostly of aesthetic and quality-of-life updates. 1.3🐬 is still yet to be confirmed. Beyond that, the team intends to release a DLC (assumedly paid) expansion. While the contents of the DLC are still being decided, they suggest it will include things like an additional playable♔ species, another biome, and new buildings, events, perks, and orders.
A 1.1 patch including new decor🌳ations and portraits released mid-January. Today, alongside the announcement, patch 1.16 dropped, but is entirely bug fixes.
If you haven’t played Against the Storm, I can hardly muster a more enthusiastic recommendation. I know “roguelite” is a word that can cause a lot of people to immediately abandon interest, but I promise you t♛hat randomization and run-based features are harnessed for good 🎀and not tedium.
Against the Storm is available now for PC.
