100 GLHF on Sports Illustrated DEC 4, 2023

Against the Storm is a perfect storm: It’s a unique blend of genres that executes its ideas without any great flaws. Instead of motivating you to play
‘just one more turn,’ it tempts you into building ‘just one more city,’ condensing the thrilling allure of exploration and mechanical intricacy of a city-
builder into runs that will fly by as fast as raindrops in a hurricane.

Against the Storm is an engrossing and fun game. Its focus is on moment-to-moment settlement management but with a ton of gameplay ideas that
make each new expedition feel unique. I love the unpredictable nature of the glades as well as the many ways to interact with the Queen’s requests
and the dangerous ruins. Winning isn’t easy, although it helps a lot to open up city upgrades, but this is the rare game where failure is enjoyable.
Against the Storm is compelling from the start, combines lore and mechanics in interesting ways, and offers gamers a lot of depth to explore.

 Against the Storm is easily my favorite city builder to reach its full release this year. It manages to escape from the sometimes dull lack of
progression felt in some other builders, while also providing a lot of depth to sink your teeth into. Because of that, it lives for far longer than most
games in the genre can claim. Eremite Games has really built something special here. A very nearly perfect storm.

Against the Storm is a prime example of what can happen when a small team has clear inspiration, passion, and a willingness to collaborate with its
players. It’s a brilliant mix of roguelike, strategy, and small-scale city building that will hook you from the jump.

Against The Storm is designed to be returned to time and time again, except here a fresh start is always seen as progress. It makes for a
construction game that wraps up at precisely the moment it begins to lose momentum. It is a wonderful, wonderful thing. [RPS Bestest Bests]

I really try to avoid rating games 10/10, but Against the Storm truly deserves it. It is a perfect mix of city building, resource management, roguelite
served in a relaxing but definitely not boring form. Every single settlement you build is a bit different, the pool of available buildings and buffs is
changing. The "tree" of industry (raw->processed->product etc.) is more like a gigantic net where you can use like 3 or 4 intersecting paths to reach
any product, depending on available resources, buildings, buffs, etc. When it comes to the art style, Against the Storm is simply beautiful - I love
both graphics and music. Together with relatively non-punishing and flexible game mechanics it makes the game extremely relaxing (even on higher
difficulty levels, to some extent). And on top of that - devs are very friendly and responsive. Game is very polished, actually it was looking almost
complete even 1 year before release, when it hit Early Access.

I don't particularly like this genre but this has become one of my favorite games. Perfect mix of roguelike and city builder, great problems to solve,
just the right amount of RNG and every playthrough is different!

Amazing city building/strategy game. Currently in early access, it is being polished and updated every two weeks and the work done is great. The
game solves one of the main problem with this kind of game: the late game. In short, there isn't one. Every match is a new random location and you
have to adapt your strategy based on the tools and modifiers you are offered. You have to please your settlers, please the Queen and then
suddenly, by solving every small piece of the puzzle you win. If you like Dwarf Fortress but want a more relaxing challenge for a couple of hours this
is the game for you.
