AGAINST THE STORM Survival City Builder Heading to Early Access Nov. 1

Hooded Horse and Eremite Games are pleased to share from gamescom Asia’s press conference that post-apocalyptic city builder, Against the Storm, will be released into Steam Early Access and GOG on November 1. Build, expand, and survive in this unique rain-soaked dark fantasy setting where you must reclaim the wilderness and its resources for civilization, all the while trying to ward off never-ending storms and the Scorched Queen’s impatience.

AGAINST THE STORM Survival City Builder Heading to Early Access Nov. 1

Against the Storm Key Features:

  • Resource management – gather resources to build up your city, as well as meeting the needs of your citizens and the Scorched Queen herself
  • Multiple settlements – found multiple settlements via the world map, and set up trade routes between each city so that you can shuttle key resources between them
  • Five different biomes – There are five different biomes for you to explore and tame, from royal woodland to the swamp-filled marshes
  • Diverse populations – a fantasy-fuelled roster of citizens that range from humans, to beavers, to harpies. Each type has their own specific needs, wants, and desires, and a good viceroy will try and please everyone, lest the Queen finds out about your incompetence.
  • Epic replayability – multiple biomes, a large tech-tree, and countless events and random boons mean that no game will ever play the same twice. Not only that, but the Blightstorm itself will ensure that you’ll face a new world map to exploit every cycle.

Eremite Games has a solid history of pushing out updates every two weeks – with 27 to date – a tradition that will continue into the Steam Early Access run. The studio is initially considering an early access period of around six months, subject to change. There will be a new development roadmap for all the latest on the game’s progression.
