This game is so freaking good.
But beyond that, the devs are so freaking attentive. This is one of the few developer teams that truly felt like they were making a game alongside the audience.

I picked this game up a while ago but haven't found the time to play it yet. Guess I'll have to bump it up in priority...

Ah yes, a city builder, which is a genre pretty much opposite to the original Rogue, but make it like a lite version of Rogue. 🙃
I mean, I don't really care. Words change meanings. But this one does hurt my brain quite a bit, trying to understand which parts of the Rogue formula they kept...

while I agree it might be hard to make, the two genres are not mutually exclusive

I'm not saying they're mutually exclusive, I just find it tricky to draw information from that.
For example, I correctly assumed this to not be akin to Dungeon Keeper, which would be a city builder like Rogue in the sense of it being a dungeon crawler.
But at the same, I guess, I assume Against the Storm would have procedural map generation like Rogue did, even though I don't really consider that typical for city builders.And yeah, this fuzziness of the term 'roguelite' means I don't really know how much city builder to expect...
