Description
After winning over PC gamers with its unique blend of roguelike and city-building mechanics, Against the Storm is officially making its debut on Nintendo Switch via the eShop on June 26, 2024.
Originally developed by Eremite Games and published by Hooded Horse, this dark fantasy city builder has garnered both critical acclaim and impressive commercial success since its initial launch on Steam in late 2023.
With over 1.5 million copies sold and upwards of 28,000 'Overwhelmingly Positive' user reviews on Steam, Against the Storm stands out as one of the most successful indie strategy titles in recent years.
Now, Hooded Horse and Eremite Games are partnering with QLOC, the experienced developer known for bringing Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice to the Switch, to deliver an optimized console experience.
QLOC has led a comprehensive overhaul of the game's user interface, enhancing accessibility and playability for Nintendo Switch players.
In Against the Storm, players are tasked with leading elite settlers—comprised of humans, beavers, lizards, foxes, and harpies—as they strive to build resilient colonies amidst ever-changing hazards.
The game’s core challenge centers around surviving the relentless 'Blightstorm,' a cataclysmic event that cyclically destroys settlements, forcing players to start anew and refine their strategies.
Combining deep resource management, unique settlement races, and a roguelite loop, Against the Storm offers a fresh take on the city-building genre.
To accommodate its growing international audience, Against the Storm’s Nintendo Switch version will launch with localization across several major languages.
Support includes German, French, Spanish (including Latin American), Italian, Polish, Czech, Hungarian, Turkish, Ukrainian, Russian, Brazilian Portuguese, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Korean, Thai, and Japanese.
This broad localization effort ensures city-building fans worldwide can immerse themselves in the game from day one.
The Switch release is poised to reach both dedicated fans of city builders and newcomers drawn by the game’s strategic roguelike twist.
As Eremite Games has stated in previous communications, the goal is to preserve the acclaimed gameplay while ensuring a smooth and intuitive experience on handheld consoles.
Against the Storm arrives on Nintendo Switch eShop June 26, 2024, expanding its award-winning gameplay to a new community.
For those seeking a compelling blend of city-building depth and roguelike replayability, this Switch port promises to deliver an engrossing experience whether you’re playing at home or on the go.
