Take your RTS game to the next level with Cataclismo
Attention, fans of base defense! Cataclismo, an upcoming base-building real-time strategy (RTS) game from the developer team behind Moonlighter and The Mageseeker, has released a demo on Steam that will put your creativity to the test. This demo showcases the game's versatile building system and how it offers a refreshing new RTS experience.
Fans of games like They Are Billions will feel right at home here. Cataclismo combines the classic RTS base-building with a more flexible defense design that allows for plenty of creativity. Buildings such as houses and resource gatherers are fixed-size objects, similar to a traditional RTS base. But what truly sets this game apart is the way you can construct your defense structures.
Defend your base block by block
From spiral towers to imposing defense bastions, in Cataclismo you can build a variety of structures to maximize the strengths of your different unit types. For example, archers benefit from elevated positions, while soldiers who throw explosive projectiles are best placed close to the action.
The challenge? You need to be not only an architect but also think strategically. Skillfully directing the attacking hordes into handcrafted death zones requires both construction skill and an understanding of how to optimize the terrain. Can you rise to the challenge?
A dark fantasy world awaits you
But Cataclismo offers more than just strategic building and defending. What sets this game apart is its deep story and world-building. A magical cataclysm has transformed this fantasy world into a dark reality. The world is enveloped in a toxic mist that contains no oxygen and is full of horrors.
In this world, people must use pumps to filter their own oxygen and wear breathing masks to move around. The story revolves around a prophet with magical abilities - he is meant to lead humanity beyond the protection of their last city.
