Against the Storm – Demo Impressions

Posted in PC, Strategy with tags on 17 September 2022 by Thomas

Against the Storm is a roguelite colony/city builder made by the team Eremite Games. I’m not 100% sure what roguelite means in this case, but I assume a failure state is a possibility, and that it will punish you hard – but how and what that exactly entails, I don’t know since I didn’t lose any games while trying the demo.
