Acclaimed rogue-like city builder Against the Storm gets first major expansion in September
Against the Storm – the critically acclaimed city building rogue-like from Eremite Games – is set to get its first major expansion, titled Keepers of the Stone, on 26th September this year.
Against the Storm, if you’re unfamiliar, challenges players to survive the apocalyptic Blightstorm ravaging the kingdom by gradually upgrading the Smoldering City at its heart. That requires setting out across multiple biomes and establishing a series of settlements, success in each location only coming if players can meet the Scorched Queen’s endless demands.
Which brings us to the newly announced Keepers of the Stone expansion. This promises to build on the base game’s already superb action by introducing, firstly, the Coastal Groves biome, where settlements start along the water. Here, players can build the Strider Port, enabling them to launch expeditions for treasures lost in the surrounding depths.
