One of many moodier trailers proven on the Humble Video games Showcase right this moment was for Cataclismo, a brand new base constructing tower protection RTS from Digital Solar, developer of The Mageseeker: A League of Legends Story (opens in new tab).
Cataclismo (opens in new tab) is a recreation about constructing fortresses, “brick-by-brick,” in a darkish fantasy world the place a lethal mist has enveloped the panorama. Within the trailer, the digital camera strikes slowly via the sport’s murky world, exhibiting us swarms of ghostly white creatures within the midst of attacking a towering fort defended by medieval archers.
It is solely a small glimpse of the sport, however an intriguing one, and it actually units the temper of determined survivors in a fort below siege by unspeakable horrors.
“A foul swarm threatens your efforts each night time. Deploy skillful crossbowmen, blazing artillery, and brutal traps to fend off the monstrosities that rush your partitions,” reads the sport’s web page on Steam. “Even in the event you survive the night time, the Mist endures, and the Horrors will return. Collect and handle stockpiles to organize for what’s to return, and analysis new applied sciences in an RTS economic system that may see you scouring the map for each mineral deposit and battered crate of salvage you could find.”
Whereas developing a fort and fending of nightly assaults with warriors and traps sounds enjoyable, there’s additionally a bonus for individuals who simply wish to construct. Cataclismo will characteristic a artistic mode the place you’ll be able to construct freely “with out worrying about your creations being destroyed by Horrors.”
No launch date, and even launch 12 months, for Cataclismo has been introduced but, however within the meantime I can level you to the sport’s Steam retailer web page (opens in new tab).
