Talk about a time sinker. Against The Storm is innovative in its game design, providing unique gameplay unknown to strategy/simulation genre. While the mechanics feel intimidating at first, you'll slowly come to love the unique strategies at conquering each level within the set difficulty. Which setting the difficulty I found to be either a blessing or a curse, as I found myself completing the level too easily, or struggling and then failing and having to restart my five-hour campaign over again. While it's all part of the rogue like, there definitely was a brutal aspect that isn't for everyone. Against the Storm has you wanting more, but over time, leaves you satisfied with its uncompleted status. I never got too far within the game, though I still spent a hefty 50 hours overall. It's extremely reminiscent of Warcraft with its art style, and new and exciting with how it works as a game. Highly recommend and will probably pick this back up again when feeling bored and need a time sinker.
