Against the Storm News

Against The Storm is getting frogs and a new biome in its first expansion this September

Against The Storm already contains a zoo's-worth of animal-people to order around as you attempt to build a town that can survive the perma-rain of the Blightstorm. That doesn't stop new expansion Keepers Of The Stone from adding one more. Come September 26th, you'll be able to welcome the frog people as you venture into a new biome.

The first Against the Storm DLC has just been unveiled by developer Eremite Games. Since its full launch in 2023, the masterful dark fantasy city builder has scored an overwhelmingly positive Steam rating of 95%, while we at PCGamesN branded it "a near-perfect roguelike strategy game." If you're after something more fantastical than Cities Skylines 2, or friendlier than Frostpunk 2, it's a perfect pick. Now, alongside its hefty free 1.4 update comes new expansion Keepers of the Stone, which introduces a species of stoneworking Frogs.

[h2]FEATURES[/h2]
Keepers of the Stone brings a new layer of replayability and variance to Against the Storm – some of its most prominent features include:

Manage Frogs - new playable species - and incorporate their expertise in stonemasonry and rainpunk into your strategy.
Embark to the Coastal Grove - a new biome where every settlement begins on the shores of a bay and you can find treasures both inland and in the waters.
Launch expeditions to acquire blueprints and powerful perks. Despite the limited supply of blueprints from the Queen, you can finance Water Striders to search for blueprints from selectable categories of buildings.
Construct new buildings - Pantry, Cannery, and Frog House - each offered only to Frogs.
Use Frogs’ starting ability to locate nearby ruins and rebuild them to gain access to an extra building.
Assign a Frog firekeeper to increase the arrival speed of Newcomers.
Build and upgrade Frog Houses up to four levels, each providing two unique benefits to choose from. But beware! Frogs care about their living standards so much they refuse to live in shelters.
Grow more powerful and find new synergies with five new Cornerstones.
And more!

On the same day - September 26th - Update 1.4 (Fishing Update) will be released for free, introducing a new fishing system, new requirements, new goods, and many other changes for everyone who owns the base game. You can read more about it here:

Our favourite city builder of last year is releasing its first expansion next month, and it brings a new biome, new buildings and, oh yes, frog people

Hooded Horse's roguelike city builder Against the Storm slipped out of early access late last year—too late to be in contention for PCG's Game of the Year Awards. Which is a shame, because—as our 91% review can attest—it's a triumphant reimagining of the genre, and a game that absolutely deserves more attention...
