Against the Storm (video game)
Like modern roguelite games, players retain unlocked abilities, which can be used to make building the next village easier.[12][13][14] Eurogamer gave the game a perfect score and described it as a "rare gem" and "one of the most novel and well-crafted city builders".[9] Rock Paper Shotgun praised its combination of city-building and roguelite elements, which they found surprisingly compatible.They also enjoyed how the cities have definite goals for success and a brief playing time of about an hour, unlike traditional city-building games.[15] Sports Illustrated praised what they felt was "a unique blend of genres" and said it condenses the best parts of city-building games into a short and addictive experience.
