Cataclismo is a mix of real-time strategy and tower defense from the creators of Moonlighter. Defend the last bastion of humanity in a ruined world, building fortresses brick by brick to fend off waves of Horrors. Design fortresses, optimize production in the citadel, train and deploy a wide range of troops, and make impactful tactical choices. Withstand the siege and rise above the haze in a story of hope, resilience, and community.

Architect by day, commander by night: you’ll need to gather up resources and use LEGO-inspired mechanics to build your stronghold with tactical layouts, weather, traps, and troop placement in mind. When night falls, the hoards will arrive to try and tear everything down. With a realistic physics system, falling bricks will crush enemies and allies alike!

It is busy within the walls. Your citadel will get more efficient as you build specific key buildings and reach new prosperity levels. With each new update, new constructions, stronger soldiers, and destructive siege equipment will be unlocked, not least fire arrows to turn horrors into ashes. The higher the prosperity, the easier you will endure the siege.

Skillfully command a wide range of soldiers, maneuvering them into precise tactical positions that best suit their role - even the height of their position matters, every meter counts! Deploy skillful bowmen, explosive cannoneers, or bulky lobbers, each with unique skills that will automatically activate during a siege, and build traps to foil the enemy.

The Cataclismo left the world devastated. But... what if we could rebuild? Throughout a 30-hour single-player campaign complete with VA and cutscenes, you will gradually learn and master all the game mechanics while joining Lady Iris in a story of hope and home.

In addition to the single-player campaign, Cataclismo also features a trio of modes that add new ways to enjoy the world. Face increasingly challenging, endless waves of horrors in Survival Mode, build without limitations or the fear of monsters destroying your ideations in Creative Mode, and overcome a selection of hand-crafted, cleverly designed maps in Skirmish Mode. Each mode brings its own unique flavour that is sure to appeal to a wide range of players.

indie developer Digital Sun Games debuted a new gameplay trailer of their upcoming RTS & builder game Cataclismo during The Triple-i Initiative showcase, introducing players to the game's protagonist Iris and showing all the building tools they’ll have at our disposal to defend their strongholds.

“Cataclismo is the game we've been working on for longer - almost six years already. Now that we're finally sharing it with the world, we're all both very happy and quite nervous, too! I really wish you will be able to enjoy and to find beauty in our castle builder”, said Israel Mallén, Communications Manager at Digital Sun Games. The Triple-i Initiative was put together by the teams at Evil Empire, Re-Logic, and Mega Crit, makers of Dead Cells, Terraria, and Slay the Spire, respectively, and was made stronger by the support from many strong indie studios, including Digital Sun Games with their first self-published title Cataclismo, following their stream of successes with Moonlighter and The Mageseeker: A League of Legends Story.

The team also prepared an extended gameplay look with their commentary, with never-seen-before footage of Cataclismo.
