60 of 67 · most liked firstCataclismo is one of the most interesting and mechanically satisfying strategy games I've played in recent years, as you build all your defensive structures brick-by-brick like lego, which snap together with a nice clunk. It just got an expansion DLC, so the game is on sale.

unlabelledView post →I bought Cataclismo on its 1.0 release, and ended up playing it until like 6am, utterly transfixed by the building mechanics, how it's kinda tower defense, but every defensive structure must be build brick by brick as if you're playing a strategy game with Lego.
unlabelledView post →29. Cataclismo Hooded Horse keep publishing games that suck me in for hours on end, and this one had me fascinated with it's building mechanics, it's sort of tower defense where you have to build your defensive structures brick by brick, and the higher you build the more reinforced they get.

unlabelledView post →And I hate to compare it to They Are Billions again, but in that game you picked a hero character at the start, and you could only take them into special side-missions. In Cataclismo your hero character Lady Iris is with you through all the main missions, and can cast very powerful spells.

unlabelledView post →“Players naturally build ‘beautiful’ castles that don’t have to trade off functionality for form.” Digital Sun Games was unconsciously inspired by Castile when designing city-builder Cataclismo. - @gamedeveloper.bsky.social's Bryant Francis www.gamedeveloper.com/art/cataclis... #indiegame

unlabelledView post →This is actually a big, and welcome, surprise. Cataclismo is a brilliant castle builder/defense sim ,and this DLC adds a cool-looking hex-based campaign board and some neat changes to the building. Actually really jazzed this is happening www.ign.com/videos/catac...
unlabelledView post →#23) CATACLISMO by DIGITAL SUN Another Nextfest discovery! I haven't played the full game yet, but I thought the demo was so interesting. It's a free-build voxel game in tight, twisty valleys where you have to do tower defense with walls that can break at each individual voxel. Tantalizing stuff.
unlabelledView post →Unfortunately, that puts me back in the wilderness: Without a Current Game. I wish you could search the games you own for genre tag in Steam. Kenshi? Lessaria? Blake Manor? Cataclismo? Iron Harvest? I'm blessed to have to many options. Maybe I should hit my @gog.com game list.
unlabelledView post →Depends, what kind of games do you like? For city-builders I really enjoyed Against the Storm over the past year, and The Wandering Village now that it's out. Cataclismo was a fun little RTS/Tower defense game.
unlabelledView post →I want to play a game for me tonight, so I'm streaming Cataclismo because I adore this game. Come hang out and chat a while, see the new map! twitch.tv/CrowBirdCannon #Cataclismo #TwitchStreamer
unlabelledView post →It's a little less cozy, but I absolutely love Bad North. It's a little "real time" (you can pause at any time and plan moves) strategy game about defending little Nordic islands. I also adore Cataclismo as a city building / tower defense game.

unlabelledView post →and the other game is Cataclismo which is kinda of a tower defense, ressource management, RTS game i guess ? you build your own defenses, literally from scratch (you don't have to but you can and are advised to) and yeah you defend against waves of monsters, i thought it looked pretty cool !!

In it, you literally build your fortresses brick by brick and defend the last city of humanity from unspeakable horrors! youtu.be/zO6NLOAWWso #cataclismo #letsplay
unlabelledView post →Cataclismo is an indie base-building/defense game with great presentation. Much of its soundtrack hasn't been uploaded online, but "Siren's Call" has and I think it provides a good example of the tranquil-yet-foreboding nature of the game.

This DLC adds a new strategic game mode where you must defend multiple citadels and set up supply lines between them so each one is prepared to face the Horrors. store.steampowered.com/news/app/142...
unlabelledView post →#20 Cataclismo- It's been a minute since a game has really pushed me to learn its intricacies quite like this. Gonna have to dive into the side modes before those skills fade. Reactivated parts of my brain dedicated to LEGOs and StarCraft that haven't seen much use since childhood.
unlabelledView post →Cataclismo by @digitalsungames.com RTS meets TD with a very smart and pleasant block building system that makes things as tactical as approachable. Clever design. The art direction is nice and cold while the story felt pretty unsettling. store.steampowered.com/app/1422440/...
unlabelledView post →PLAYED: #Cataclismo A lady in a chicken mask attempts to build castles brick by brick while hoards of albino cosmic horrors endlessly try to break in. This game was clearly made to give architects & structural engineers anxiety.
unlabelledView post →No problem! Oh! There's also Cataclismo. Kind of a survival/tower-defensey game, but you essentially free-form/voxel build a castle/fortress, so that's pretry medievalish in style. 🙂
