'Flooded' Comes To PlayStation And Xbox Consoles In Late February - Trailer

Flooded is a reversed city-builder, in which you need to optimize your production on an island that shrinks over time. Gather enough resources to flee to safety, while the surrounding world is getting flooded.

Most likely due to global warming, the waters have risen to a level leaving only a handful of places habitable. As a small group of survivors, you need to extract resources in order to build an ark and move to a safer place. But beware, with time the waters are getting higher, leaving you with less land to use!

Use different buildings to excavate precious resources. Upgrade them in order to maximize the production speed, find relics that will boost your performance and develop new technologies which will allow you to keep up the production rate on a smaller area.

Turns out you’re not alone in this hostile environment. Other survivors have settled on nearby islands and they will take every chance to plunder your land. Build various defensive towers and traps to keep your miners safe.

Once your island plunges into the ocean, you will need to find a new piece of land. Make sure you gather enough resources in time to build an arc and explore the unknown waters. Beware, you will encounter different biomes, each with their own set of characteristics!

With global warming being the one of the main issues of today’s society, it seems to be the easiest explanation of the worldwide flood. But is it really the reason why you are trapped on an island, fighting for survival and trying to reach the tallest mountain? Play the story mode to find out!

Although Flooded will be story-driven, it will also include rogue-lite elements. Thanks to the procedurally generated islands, each playthrough will be different, while new commanders and relics unlocked with progress will allow you to apply different strategies. Create your own scenario in Quickplay or try the Endless mode, in which the level of water will lower every time you enter a new era, therefore giving you back some land.


Key Features:

  • Reverse city-builder with rogue-lite elements and procedurally generated islands.
  • Campaign, Quickplay, and Endless game modes.
    • Campaign: The campaign mode allows you to immerse yourself in the game's plot. Follow the story of a group of miners whose peaceful lives were turned upside down in the blink of an eye by an enigmatic cataclysm. Explore uninhabited islands, meet new allies, fight mysterious invaders from the north, and discover the secret behind the great flood.
    • Quickplay: Adjust the gameplay settings and face your own customized challenge on a randomly generated island.
    • Endless: Develop a robust economy and produce resources before your base gets flooded. Once every four development eras, the island expands to give you a shot at surviving until the next cycle.
  • Continuously shrinking land due to rising water levels.
  • Resource gathering, building upgrades, and the development of new technologies.
  • A variety of defensive structures to fend off hostile neighbors and pirates.
  • Exploration of nearby islands with diverse biomes.

Currently available on Nintendo Switch and PC (Steam), Flooded is coming to PlayStation and Xbox on February 23, 2024.
