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.

Hooded Horse brings news from out of the darkness – Digital Sun’s Cataclismo is now releasing on PC via Steam Early Access on July 22, 2024!

Originally intended to be released a week prior, this extra time will ensure we can get everything in place for a successful EA launch. We also opted for a short Early Access phase to polish the game alongside our community

Cataclismo is fairly advanced in development, but it’s also a complex game, and Early Access is the perfect tool to ensure that the full release is as good as it can be.

The initial Early Access build will feature:

• The main campaign , which initially features a tutorial and eleven levels, spread across two distinct biomes. More levels will be added on the road to 1.0.
• A Skirmish Mode with two different levels and biomes.
• An Endless Mode with procedurally generated maps and challenge in mind.
• A comprehensive Level Editor  for you to create your own maps using the two main biomes, as well as official support for sharing these maps with the community.

More biomes, features, and modes will be added during the early access period, including additional content for the Endless game mode and new levels for the main campaign.

Key Features:

• Tactical brick-by-brick castle construction inspired by LEGO.
• Over 100 pieces to mix and match for physics-based stronghold building.
• Optimize life and production within the castle walls.
• Brace for the nightly swarms of Horrors and defend your fortress.
• Deploy a roster of characterful troops with unique tactical specialties.
• Siege equipment, such as flaming arrows, poison, claw traps, and more.
