Against the Storm is a roguelite city builder set in a fantasy world where it never stops raining. As the Queen’s viceroy, you’re tasked with venturing into the unknown wilds and building new settlements inhabited by intelligent beavers, humans, and lizardfolk.
The Smoldering City (or the Citadel) is a form of an avatar of progress. You will invest in it and develop it between runs, leaving a permanent mark on the World Map. Within The Citadel’s sphere of influence, you can place Upgrades that reflect the available opportunities and bonuses.
