00:07 >> This is Against the Storm.

00:11 A rogue-lite city build where

00:14 every settlement presents you with different challenges.

00:17 Things start out pretty familiar.

00:21 A blank canvas you need to turn into a thriving economy.

00:25 Send your villagers out to gather resources,

00:28 set up basic logistics,

00:30 and construct buildings that will form complex supply chains.

00:34 Except you'll only have a subset of all buildings on each run,

00:38 and there's no guarantee you'll encounter the same resources

00:41 twice when exploring procedurally generated maps.

00:44 You can't force your way to victory by

00:46 repeating the same strategy over and over again.

00:50 You must adapt.

00:51 Various production buildings can manufacture

00:54 the same goods but at varying efficiencies,

00:56 while each species excels at different tasks.

00:59 There's always a way out of a tight spot.

01:02 Barter with traders or please

01:04 the old gods by sacrificing your villagers.

01:08 To convince the queen that your settlement is self-sufficient,

01:12 you must fulfill her orders.

01:14 Venture into the ominous forest or win your people's hearts.

01:19 If you succeed, you will be rewarded with

01:22 resources to spend on a variety of permanent upgrades.

01:26 And then, move on to the next settlement.

01:29 With hundreds of gameplay modifiers and six distinct biomes,

01:33 every run presents a new puzzle to solve.

01:37 So, on to the next one?

01:39 A new challenge always awaits in Against the Storm,

01:43 coming to PC Game Pass on December 8th.
