Against the Storm is a creative roguelite city-building game where you take on the role of the Vice King assigned by the Scorching Queen to reclaim the wilderness and discover lost treasures for the City of Murmurs – the last fortress of civilization against the Devastating Storm that destroyed the old world.


Unlike most other survival city-building games, Against the Storm does not focus on a single city. You have to build a vast, prosperous network of settlements inhabited by various fantasy races, each with their own expertise and needs.

The wilderness harbors many dangers and relentless storms will attack your settlers. If your settlement collapses, the expedition may end – but the game still continues. With roguelite mechanics, you will carry resources, upgrades, and experience from previous expeditions each time you start a new journey.

Foxes, beavers, and lizards stand alongside humans and harpy people in the struggle for survival. You need to leverage the strengths of each group when balancing their different needs, from housing and culinary preferences to tastes in luxury goods and entertainment.

Each race has its own distinct personality. Beavers are little guys who enjoy tea parties and wine. Lizards prefer chewing beef jerky and engaging in recreational battles. Will you produce raincoats, brew beer, and bake cakes to boost morale in the face of the forest's hostility, or prioritize the needs of a race to act faster?

Against the Storm combines core city-building gameplay with the replayability features of roguelite. You build and manage multiple settlements spread across a large world map, while collecting progressive resources to upgrade the Silent City.

You will feel the pressure from the expectant monarch as the Scorching Queen demands continuous progress, while recurring Devastating Storms threaten your settlements. You need to manage reputation to ensure success at any settlement before continuing to establish another settlement.

With hundreds of factors adjusting gameplay and 6 different ecosystems, each city location brings unique challenges even for the most skilled Viceroys. Adjust your strategy according to changing weather conditions and experiment with building designs and perks.

Will you take on additional tasks and delve deeper into the dangerous forest to seek potential rewards, or will you approach cautiously? At the same time, you never know what goods the Merchant will bring next year, and the forest not only contains treasures and resources, but also ancient threats.

Laying the foundation for a new city is one of the most exciting moments in the city-building game. In Against the Storm, you will have the opportunity to repeatedly experience this by creating new settlements while still interacting with the network of previously established cities.

As you develop, you will discover the “rainpunk” mechanism that allows harnessing the power of storms to industrialize production, and face more difficult “seals” – described as multi-stage boss battles. Each playthrough offers a fresh experience and creative challenges for players.
