First look at The Depths - Two weeks until 1.0!

Fellow Hogardians!

The wait is almost over—Cataclismo launches on March 20th, just two weeks from now!

To mark the occasion, we're giving you a first-ever look at The Depths. Hidden far below the sea of Mist, this eerie new biome is a place of shadows and peril. Here, light isn’t just a comfort—it’s survival. Units can’t attack horrors lurking in the dark, forcing Iris to fight her way back to the light—both literally and figuratively after everything that happened in Hogar.

Watch the devs take on The Depths in the revamped Survival Mode!

Available at launch, The Depths will bring a new layer of challenge and strategy to Campaign, Skirmish, and Survival modes.

Will you push back the darkness—or be swallowed by it?

Did you like the trailer? We hope you’re as excited about the full launch as we are, especially considering everything coming to Cataclismo with the 1.0 version.

[h2]What’s New in Version 1.0[/h2]

Campaign Mode: Final act, with 6 additional scenarios.
Survival Mode Overhaul: A more survival-oriented take on the previous Endless Mode, keeping the relentless waves of enemies while adding in-run rogue-like upgrades, rock-paper-scissors mechanics, and more.
The Depths: A murky, new biome is available in Campaign, Survival, Skirmish, and Level Editor.
Darkness Mechanics: Levels set in the Depths are plunged into darkness, and units can’t hit horrors in unlit areas. Pieces to deal with this effect were added to the Campaign.
Opaline Horrors: These pearlescent versions of horrors have never been exposed to light and, therefore, are more vicious and menacing than the other creatures of the Mist.
Iris Renegade: A makeover for our hero, including a new set of skills that allows her to cast Ecos.
New Skirmishes: Two new, handcrafted skirmishes set in the Depths.
Plenty of QoL Improvements and Bug Fixes.

From the label behind Manor Lords, giant RTS Cataclismo is about to get bigger

Fellow strategy game and RTS Frostpunk 2 makes the end of the world feel suitably dour. Resources run short. People struggle for warmth. Survival always hangs in the balance. Cataclismo, published by Hooded Horse, the esteemed label behind Manor Lords and Against The Storm, makes the apocalypse a little more spectacular. Charged with defending a series of outposts from the mutant hordes that besiege them night after night, all your building work is granular - everything is made from individual bricks and planks. It gives you lots of room for creativity. It also makes for fantastic concrete fireworks when you get overrun. And now, finally, Cataclismo is about to hit its full 1.0 launch.
