Against the Storm, that cool roguelite city builder by Eremite Games, is shaking off its early access vibes and dropping the fully polished version on December 8. And here’s the cherry on top – if you’re part of the PC Game Pass crew, you get to jump into the action at no extra cost! Sweet deal, right?
So, what’s the lowdown on Against the Storm? Picture this: you’re the big shot viceroy in a dark fantasy world, trying to reclaim land for the Smoldering City that’s seen better days thanks to the Blightstorm. Oh, and there are storms messing with your population as you try to rebuild. The twist? It’s a roguelite, meaning every time your city bites the dust, you bounce back stronger, with more experience and resources.
This game has been cooking in early access since last year, getting regular content updates. The upcoming 1.0 launch not only brings all those improvements but also debuts the ‘Queen’s Hand’ mode. It’s the real deal for the pros – you get one shot (in-game Cycle, technically) to tackle the ultimate challenge: reforging the Adamantine Seal. Starting from square one, your upgrade choices are crucial, and here’s the kicker – mess up, and you lose all progress and unlocks. No pressure, right?
If you’re not on the Against the Storm train yet, no worries. You can snag the early-access version on Steam, GOG, and the Epic Games Store. Get ready to weather the storm and build the city of your dreams!
