Developer GameLoad has announced their new "World War II" alternate history and city building game TerraStorm.
Set in a timeline where World War II's outcome was quite different, TerraStorm is a game that takes place in a world that has been almost completely destroyed by a resource known as "Viribus." Set 70 years after the end of the war, you must rebuild, and find a way to survive in this brand new world.
Currently the game is scheduled for release on PC, and the developers have also opened a Kickstarter page to help fund the project. TerraStorm is scheduled for early access in 2025. You can Wishlist it on Steam Today.
For more, here's the official statement from GameLoad:
Viribus – a resource that has become the planet's curse – after years has found a new, positive use. It is now a powerful source of energy that can be utilized to power self-sustaining towers. In TerraStorm, players will take on the role of leaders responsible for building and managing these structures, which become the last bastions of humanity. Refugees fighting for survival will come from all directions, and it is the Architects' task to provide them shelter. However, players must be prepared that not all lives can be saved, and the decisions made during gameplay will have consequences.
Players will manage massive towers where all life takes place. Each floor offers different features and capabilities, and can have specializations assigned to them. The possibilities are vast—ranging from energy-producing buildings to factories, water pumps, and research centers. However, the needs of the community will continually grow, so players cannot rest on their laurels for too long. Over time, not only will the number of residents increase, but also the number of towers to manage, giving the opportunity to build trade routes between them. All of this to give humanity another chance.
The dangers waiting for the Architects come not only from challenges related to skillful management of people and resources, but also from environmental anomalies that can disrupt even the best plans. It’s worth noting that the player is not the only Architect selected by ROSE Corp for the Project Towers program, and collaborating with other chosen ones can also prove to be a challenge.
TerraStorm – key features:
● The tower of wonders– lead a community of refugees fighting for survival within a self-sustaining tower. Plan, build, and manage to ensure that as many people as possible can find shelter under your care.
● The planet is still alive – with your help, humanity still has a chance to survive. Build mines, power plants, and various centers to support the development of the Project Towers. At the start of Early Access, the game will feature 40 unique buildings.
● Sometimes you have to say no – your main task is to help the survivors. However, this won't always be possible, and the line between being responsible and taking risks for the greater good is very thin. Be prepared that not all of your decisions will be met with applause.
● Brave expeditions – as an Architect, you'll have the opportunity to build additional towers and create connections between them. This will be possible through expeditions that can travel across various regions of the divided world map. Learn to manage your internal economy to ensure a steady supply of essential resources.
● Technological hope – as you progress in the game, you'll gain the ability to develop innovations that will lay the groundwork for your tower's advancement. Even in the early version, players will have access to 30 different technologies to discover.
● Architects of the new Earth – choose the character you will embody based on their unique strengths. Each available Architect has distinct passive bonuses that make them special.
