Keep restarting your city builders? Try Against the Storm

If the first few hours of a city builder are always your favorite, Against the Storm has a good offer: keep doing that part. Get a settlement working, earn enough reputation and move on to the next one.

Our Algebra suggests Banished + Slay the Spire. Maybe it’s the way feeding a town becomes a series of decisions about what you’ve been offered. You choose from building blueprints and perks, then make those choices work with the resources nearby. The perfect production chain might have to wait. Your villagers need dinner now.

The catch is getting attached. Some players miss having one permanent city to keep improving. Here, starting again is most of the game.

Our recommendation

Try it if you love rescuing an awkward start more than decorating a finished city.
