free for apple download Against the Storm

Your goal as the player is to meet the demands of a distant but powerful Queen by building settlements out in the forest wilderness, in the relatively calm years between massive, devastating storms. The settlements tend to reach a point of completion before it hits that tedium.

Against the Storm's settlement system avoids this consistent issue with the citybuilding genre.

So, what's so great about Against the Storm? Why so much praise?Ĭitybuilder games have a lot of great bits to them but there tends to be a point where things get bogged down and get tedious. I'm excited to see where they go from here (both with this game and any others they have planned). And the game itself shows so much of their care, dedication, and skill. I have a lot of respect for them, honestly. You don't often see a team that's okay with scrapping a feature that isn't working, iterating on it, and implementing something new, so swiftly. The devs behind this game are rockstars, consistently putting out updates at a regular rhythm, they're responsive to feedback, they're unafraid to make major tweaks and changes to the game to keep it in a healthy place. I've been following this game's development through early access to release for quite awhile and it's been impressive the entire way. I don't remember now what I thought of originally when hearing 'rouguelit/ke citybuilder' but this game obliterated whatever it was and fully cemented itself as the gold standard going forward.
