Against the Storm Coming to Nintendo Switch: Release Date, Gameplay, and Features Detailed

Acclaimed City Builder 'Against the Storm' Heads to Nintendo Switch in June 2025 Award-winning roguelite city builder Against the Storm, developed by Eremite Games and published by Hooded Horse, is officially launching on Nintendo Switch on June 26, 2025.

The highly anticipated console port, managed by established porting studio QLOC, brings the beloved dark fantasy strategy experience to a new platform, expanding its reach to Nintendo's dedicated handheld and home console audience. Background: Against the Storm first garnered attention on PC for its unique blend of city-building mechanics and roguelite progression.

Since its original release, the game has been praised for its deep systems and replayability.

Console fans will soon get the chance to experience the action on Nintendo Switch's versatile hardware, further cementing the Switch’s reputation as a hub for strategy and management games. In Against the Storm, players step into the role of the Viceroy, appointed by the imposing Scorched Queen to restore civilization after the devastating Blightstorm nearly wiped out the old world.

The game revolves around managing a series of settlements across dangerous and ever-changing wilderness, with each site presenting its own array of challenges and dynamic shifts in gameplay. "Each settlement you build faces the relentless assault of storms and hidden dangers.

If your endeavor fails, the overarching journey continues—leveraging accumulated upgrades and knowledge for your next expedition," say representatives for Eremite Games regarding the roguelite nature of the title. Diverse Populations and Strategic Depth A standout feature of Against the Storm is its diverse roster of citizens.

Players must balance the unique needs and strengths of villagers that include not only humans, but also foxes, beavers, lizards, and harpies.

Decisions—such as crafting raincoats, brewing ale, or producing specialty foods—impact morale and efficiency, ensuring that players must constantly adapt their strategy to cater to the expectations of different species while securing progress for the Smoldering City. Roguelite Progression Meets City-Building Against the Storm sets itself apart by infusing classic city-building with robust roguelite elements: every expedition brings new maps, random events, and gameplay modifiers that challenge even seasoned strategists.

Success is measured not only by individual settlement prosperity, but also by reputation gained to satisfy the Scorched Queen before moving on to establish subsequent colonies. Replayability and Infinite Settlements The game boasts hundreds of modifiers and six unique biomes, promising a fresh experience with each playthrough.

The layered design lets players construct and manage a network of cities, with meta-progression ensuring that both new and veteran players have compelling reasons to return.

Carefully crafted procedural systems also create continual discovery, as traders, threats, and resources shift unpredictably between expeditions. Switch Release Brings More Strategy to the Platform With its upcoming Nintendo Switch release on June 26, 2025, Against the Storm is set to join the eShop alongside other celebrated indie and strategy titles.

The involvement of QLOC in developing the Switch version ensures that the port will be faithful to the original while taking advantage of the Switch’s hybrid nature.

Stay tuned to more Nintendo Direct announcements and the official eShop listings for further updates about launch details, pricing, and bonus content. Against the Storm’s arrival on Nintendo Switch offers a fresh opportunity for fans of city builders and roguelites to experience one of the genre’s most innovative titles on the go.
