As every good munchkin knows,premium supportersof RPS get free game key giveaways, and this week we’re excited to have a blast of first-come, first-served freebies dark fantasy citybuilderAgainst The Storm. On a somewhat desperate mission to reclaim the wilderness for a kind of demanding queen, Against The Storm charges you with not only building a prosperous settlement, but linking it with multiple others in a vast network of prosperity and civilisation. Read on to find out how and when to get your free key.

Against The Storm is currently enjoying Overwhelming Positive review rating on Steam, and, despite still being in early access,Graham saidit was “some of the most fun I had playing a citybuilder last year”. Liam had a go of it duringone of last year’s Steam Next Fests, too, and was impressed enough to make it his top pick. The titular storm worsens as you cut through trees in the forest in search of resources, and the queen is a capricious sort who loses patience if you take too long setting up your functioning settlements.

Because it’s a fantasy world, your townsfolk are a mix of humans and non-humans like, you know, beavers, and the art design is giving me some serious original Warcraft vibes. It has roguelike elements, too, and all-in-all is looking very polished for an early access game. And wouldn’t you know it, but there’s a new update coming just in time for the giveaway. Funny how these things work out, isn’t it?
