So you like progression?

This game is hard for the sake of being hard, to the point it is un-fun. This is a rogue like no? so you progress the more you play no? well, to this game yes, but to get higher on the "prestige" tier you need to do higher and higher "challenges" on top of everything to the point it get obnoxious and outright not fun. It is an ok game below prestige 12, but there is nothing else to the game but that, so it is pretty much over for me at this point. The game is mostly complete to this date i am writing this, so i am not expecting anything substantial to change in the future. I would have waited for a sale to get this, not worth the full price.

Well-made and difficult city builder

The roguelike randomness is very frustrating at first, particularly the 'boss fight' seals near the end of each cycle of destruction. However, like any good roguelike you will learn the patterns and be able to anticipate and prepare for likely problems. More experience leads directly to better outcomes, which is a clear sign of good roguelike design. However, that said, my lord is it stressful. I keep coming back to this game, but I almost _never_ start a second city right after finishing one. I have to stop and destress before coming back. It almost feels like I am in an abusive relationship, but I swear Against the Storm loves me and I deserve everything it does to me.

Really sloppily designed

so it's a city builder with roguelike elements. In order to win each city, you must complete randomly selected tasks. Your ability to complete these tasks is dependant on randomly spawning resources, and picking from random building blueprints. Completing tasks fills a completion bar that can also be filled by meeting luxury needs of your citizens. UNFORTUNATELY, there are "boss fight" type cities in which you can't just fill the bar by meeting luxury needs; you must complete specific, particularly difficult tasks. It is impossible to know what these tasks will be in advance. Therefore, it is impossible to actually strategize. This in addition to having to guess which buildings you may or may not need in the future, to not knowing what resources you will randomly find, makes it very easy to end up in a situation where you literally cannot complete any of the tasks. My current save file for a boss city is softlocked, where I must complete one of the following: A) increase morale of citizens using goods that I never got the blueprints to produce B) Find 4 extremely rare artifacts that only spawn in areas of which there are a finite amount, and which I have yet to find a single one, and I'm going to run out of time before I will even be able to explore any more, C) engage with a mechanic that I am flat-out not allowed to use because I have not unlocked the technology to enable it in my home base, which can only be done outside of active runs. Lacking any sort of mitigation for bad rng with the potential to make runs impossible, and especially requiring an out-of-game upgrade that the player has not unlocked yet, is INCREDIBLY slipshod and thoughtless game design. The game pretends you have some ability to succeed with strategic choices but in the end your ability to complete tasks is really just the result of a slot machine.

Great Game

Great indie game that mixes up settlement building with the short, dangerous, randomized sessions that rogue-lites are known for. That makes for an experience where you have shorter, more varied play sessions than city builders are typically known for. It is definitely possible to lose just based on bad luck and not getting what you need to complete events or fulfill orders. But the number of different options or you have for where to make stuff and the recipes used to make them, really opens up so many avenues for creatively solving your problems, that you will be able to come up with solution to more "hopeless" situations than you think. The interface is really solid, though. The game was clearly designed by people who play these types of games - or at least play their own game significantly. You can pause any time and review your inventory, available crafting recipes, and/or blueprints prior to making any significant choice. The game does get pretty complex pretty quickly, though. That can be a good thing or a bad thing, depending on what you're looking for. And it hurts to setup your production to focus on one thing, only to either forget a certain piece, or not get offered a crucial blueprint.
