Here you get everything that has made Rimworld so successful: base building, resource gathering, focus on character development and relationships, real-time battles that can be paused, and of course a very special 2D look. The embedded trailer explains everything important in four minutes.

The building game Against the Storm shows his ever-changing fantasy world
In Against the Storm, your city is inevitably doomed – because this is a survival roguelite city-building game in which you will sooner or later be destroyed by the eponymous plague storms.
So that the constant re-laying of the foundation stone of your settlement does not become boring, the developers promise many different biomes, each of which should bring its own challenges.
Against the Storm was able to convince our strategy expert Martin Deppe in Early Access back in 2021, when the title was still exclusive to Epic – take a look at our test:
