It's very good if you like city builders with RTS elements. There's no combat in it at all, it's just you and your villagers against the storm, hence the title. It has a lot of challenge missions and an overall story so the replayability is quite good.

Oh wow, I thought there was combat.

What are the RTS elements if not combat? Is it more "macro" level stuff like resource collection/ building/ tech?

I'll definitely pick it up if that's more what it's about. I love RTS formats, but going back to starcraft style micro is way too much for me nowadays.

I dig city builders regardless though, and the roguelike aspect seems neat.

I guess it's not so much RTS. It's like making hard decisions. It's a lot like Frostpunk in that way if you've played that game. There's an element of danger and your villagers can easily die, and sometimes you have to make hard decisions or sacrifices.

Hell yeah, sounds great. I haven't played frostpunk (also on my wishlist), but I can't really go wrong with city builders, and I love the theme. I appreciate the info!
