Gameplay Mechanics

*Against the Storm* is a city-builder game with roguelite elements. Players are tasked with rebuilding civilization in a persistent rain, leading a diverse population of humans, beavers, lizards, and harpyfolk. The core gameplay loop involves establishing settlements, gathering resources, and managing citizen needs under the looming threat of the Blightstorm.

Settlement Building

Players choose a location on the world map and establish a new settlement. This involves:

• Constructing various production buildings (farms, lumber mills, mines).
• Establishing trade routes with other settlements.
• Managing citizen assignments to optimize resource generation.
• Developing housing and amenities to maintain citizen Resolve.

Roguelite Elements

Each settlement attempt is procedurally generated. Key roguelite features include:

• Temporary Settlements: Each settlement has a lifespan; once objectives are met or conditions fail, the settlement concludes, and accumulated resources contribute to the Smoldering City.
• Persistent Progress: Resources and meta-currency earned from individual settlements are used to upgrade the Smoldering City, providing permanent bonuses and new unlockables for future runs.
• Randomized Events and Rewards: Players encounter various Glade Events, dilemmas, and reward choices that influence the direction of their settlement.
• Difficulty Modifiers: The game features a deed system, allowing players to unlock and select increasing difficulty modifiers.

Factions and Resources

Players manage different Dwellers, each with distinct needs and proficiencies:

• Humans: Balanced workers, suitable for various tasks.
• Beavers: Proficient in woodworking and construction.
• Lizards: Skilled in foraging and dangerous tasks.
• Harpies: Specialized in crafting and complex industries.

A wide array of resources (food, building materials, luxury goods) must be gathered and processed to keep settlements thriving and fulfill Royal Orders.
