Releasing in early access to critical acclaim back in 2022, Against the Storm is sending off 2023 with its big 1.0 release, signalling a complete state for the rougelike city building experience that takes a refreshingly retro approach to the genre mashup. Echoing the stylistic air of Warcraft 3 while remaining as deep and complex as Shiro Games' Northgard, it's a highly engaging, delectably rewarding, and suitably frustrating game with pacing so perfect you'll be battling against not only the game's odds but your own overwhelming desire to build one more town before bed.
