What is Against the Storm?

A single-player roguelite city builder set in a fantasy world repeatedly battered by the Blightstorm. As the Scorched Queen’s Viceroy, you gather resources, assign different species to jobs, manage production and needs, and complete settlements across a world map. Resources and upgrades carry back to the Smoldering City between expeditions.

For you if...

  • +you prefer short settlement runs over one permanent city
  • +you enjoy adapting production chains to random resources and blueprints
  • +you want demanding resource management with multiple viable strategies

Not for you if...

  • −you want relaxed city planning with little micromanagement
  • −you prefer automation and long-term city customization
  • −you dislike randomized choices or pressure from timers

What players say

94% of 34,320 reviews are positive · 93% of 228 in the last 30 days

Players praise the varied runs, adaptive economic problem-solving, and focus on the challenging early phase of settlement building. Common complaints target heavy micromanagement, random blueprint availability, time pressure, and progression that becomes grindy or locked behind higher difficulties.
