NBG Against the Storm Xbox Series X

Unlike most survival city builders where your focus is on a single city, you must build a vast prosperous network of settlements populated by diverse fantasy races each with their own specialisations. You are the Viceroy – a leader charged by the Scorched Queen to reclaim the wilderness and discover lost riches for the Smoldering City, civilisation's last bastion against the Blightstorm that destroyed the old world. Beavers and lizards stand alongside humans and harpies in the struggle to survive. Utilise each group's strengths as you balance varying needs, from housing and culinary preferences to taste in luxuries and recreation. Experience core city builder gameplay enhanced by roguelite replayability. Build new settlements and collect valuable meta-progression resources to upgrade the Smoldering City. Recurring Blightstorms pose an inevitable threat to settlements, but they also reshape the world and open new opportunities for growth. With hundreds of gameplay modifiers and 5 distinct biomes, every city location presents unique challenges for even the most resourceful Viceroy. Adjust your strategy to changing weather conditions and experiment with settlement builds — rosters of building blueprints and perks that can help your society thrive or bring it to ruins. Mix and match ingredients to take advantage of the resources at hand. You never know what wares the Trader will bring next year, and the forest holds treasures, resources and ancient threats. Laying the foundations for a new city is one of the most exciting moments in a city-builder game. Release date: 26 June 2025. Game disc. For ages 12 years and over. Xbox one compatible.
