Howdy! I play against the storm because I am bad at it. It punishes me for mismanaging my time. It punishes me for forgetting to address a threat 4 minutes ago. It punishes me for being too ambitious. It punishes me for lacking mindfulness. I play this game because it punishes me. If you like X-com or the souls-like genre, this game will fit a special place in your heart. I want to get better at time management and mindfulness, therefore I fail again and again and thank the gods for bringing this game into being *bows to developers*.
I spend a lot of time on this game but you dont need to spend a lot of time reading review so I try to be short. But overwhelmingly positive, is in my oppinion, fully deserved. Why you should buy this game. - You like roguelike. - You like having different valid choice\route and challenge. (Never the same game) - You like "Possible" harder challenge if you choose so. - You like city builder, but you rather be up close and personal with your population rather than plan thing around stat and number. (Assign worker to builder, event, farm, depending of their force or weakness (Race bonus)) Why you shouln't buy this game -You don't like anything I mention above. -You don't like restriction and want to focus only on building a cute city. (Sandbox style) (You can continue the city once you did the main objectif) But the focus of the game is usually complete and move on a new city with new challenge, restriction, ressource, start from zero but never in a feel bad way. Nothing wrong in playing the way you want, I just feel like if you want a sandbox city building game, there better option than agains the storm. Take this game as a roguelike first and then a city building game.
One of my favorite games! Instead of applauding the game, I would like to answer some recent criticism that I found in negative reviews. 1. The game always have a win condition. Some people say that it might be impossible to fulfill the orders, but YOU DON'T NEED the orders to win the game. In one scenario you don't receive any orders (1) at all, and you have to win by gaining points through opening dangerous glades (2) or resolve (3). You win a typical party by a combination of orders (1), glades (2), and resolve (3). People who complain about impossible orders don't understand the game mechanics. 2. Difficulty. The game has increasing levels of difficulty. It has a learning curve, so you SHOULD BEGIN ON EASY MODE, instead of higher difficulties. Because it's a rouge-lite with meta-progession, you WILL be getting more updates and improvements, as well as you will be understanding the systems better. Some people think that they are to hard-core to be playing on easy mode (without any upgrades), and they blame the game for being difficult. That's insane. The game is easy and very forgiving on easy mode and you have to go to the 3rd or 4th level of difficulty to really feel the hostility of the forest. 3. The gameplay loop. The game is about creating new settlements, which should take you around 60-120 to set-up. You're struggling with insufficient resources, lacking production-chains, you need to discover and adapt. It's fun. When you win, YOU CAN CONTINUE playing with your settlement, but it's not fun, because everything is optimized and autonomous. But you can stay and watch how the villagers take care of everything. 4. I DON'T KNOW WHICH BUILDING TO CHOOSE ;-; That is the point of this game. You have to understand the production chains. Each building has different efficiency, e.g. planks can be produces with 1 star efficiency or 3 stars. It means that you need, let's say, 8 wood to produce 1 plank or 4 wood to produce a plank. So you have to know the supply chains and resources that are on the map and make decisions accordingly. Do I want to choose a building that increases the efficiency of plank production given that we have not enough wood (in some forests), do I want to produce planks (I can buy them from a merchant and produce sth else), or do I maybe need a plantation, so that my villagers don't starve? Do I want to optimize the efficiency of one supply-chain or am I happy with mediocre optimization and I want to be able to produce more food, because I really need it. (I can have fewer villagers, so food might not be that urgent). 5. Every party is similar. No it's not. It's like saying that every game of chess or every piano piece is the same. IF you're new it might well be, but the tiny differences make for HUGE VARIANCE in the gameplay. At a first glance it might look similar, but if you've reached the skill ceiling, it's like night and day. 6. The game is too complicated. No it's not. IT'S INGENIOUS how good it is. It's not an excel sheet, but it's so unbelievably well optimized. You have to control minimum and maximum supply in your magasins, you have to control which resources can be use (AND CANNOT!!!) be used as substitutes (that is extremely important) in your production chains, you have to control which race is in charge of which production facilities. But there is a handy shortcut for everything, it doesn't play like an excel sheet. That is the single most impressive thing: the intuitive, user friendly UI that allows you to control the complex systems in the game, that you should be discovering and mastering during your first 20 hours. So if you buy this game, start with 3rd level of difficulty (because you're not a noob...), you're gonna be overwhelmed. If you give it some time, it will be one of the most fulfilling experiences.
AtS genuinely could be my favourite roguelite of all time. It is the only game I ever bought supporter pack for, because I felt I haven't payed enough for all the fun I had (and will have) with the game. Gameplay wise it is a city builder, but a boring late game slog is cut off and only the most interesting part remains - exploring, establishing your settlement, building economy and production chains. There is a layer of randomness on top of that - enough to provide diversity between runs but not enough to screw you over. Each run you get random terrain, resources, citizens, blueprints, perks, world events and local events and conditions. Each type of randomness could be controlled to an extent and provide a lot of interesting choices so no run feels exactly the same. No run is unwinnable as well as there are multiple win conditions, so if you take some effort to learn the game, there is always a way to victory. Other than that, AtS has a very dense grim postapocalyptic atmosphere, interesting lore, astounding stylized graphics and absolutely charming melancholic soundtrack. I sincerely adore each and every aspect of it and implore you to try this gem of a game.
