I don\u2019t think I\u2019ve ever paused so much in a strategy game. Survival city builder tower defence RTS Cataclismo<\/a> is going to be a game with a lot <\/em>of Steam tags attached, but also tons of screenshots on social media of our elaborate player-made fortifications. Utilitarian ring walls of beefy stone, ramshackle holdfasts held together with rapidly splintering wood, or\u2014and this is where you\u2019ll be hitting Spacebar before embarking on a lengthy building session\u2014intricate labyrinths of medieval barricades that would have the Minotaur thinking \u2018This is a bit much, actually.\u2019<\/p>\n

As we've previously discovered<\/a>, Cataclismo\u2014out July 22 in Early Access form\u2014is a game about building settlements, and then defending them from waves of ghoul-like Horrors. The campaign follows Lady Iris of the Last City as she embarks on an expedition to learn the secrets of her magical powers, and the apocalyptic mist the Horrors spawn from, every night.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

The days have you gathering resources and placing pre-fab buildings in traditional RTS style, while dispatching units to scout your surroundings, and plopping beacons down to expand your territory. Where the game lets you get really creative is with its bulging toy box of Lego-like building blocks, as you have to construct all your defences manually, brick by brick.<\/p>\n

Using your stockpiles of harvested wood and stone, you\u2019ll build walls to protect your citadel, and for your units to stand on to attack the Horrors. Stone is costly but strong, becoming Toughened if you build it four blocks high, while wood is great for placeholder or more decorative elements. You\u2019ll end up combining both, as you construct things like scaffolding so your units can reach their perches, and stone merlons at the top of walls to improve their range. But whatever makeshift or magnificent structures you end up with, their structural integrity\u2014and their position on the battlefield\u2014is all that matters when a horde of Horrors emerges from the mist.<\/p>\n

Make a wall too thin and they\u2019ll practically burst through it. Too tall and your units might be out of range. Make your defences too centralised and they\u2019ll find an avenue you hadn\u2019t thought of and (crucially) haven\u2019t defended against. There\u2019s a lovely tension between knowing what you need to build and what you \/can\/ build, with the resources you have, and that\u2019s where the creative solutions\u2014AKA the bodges\u2014come into play.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Horror<\/h2>\n

I forgot that Horrors could climb slopes. (It\u2019s not entirely<\/em> my fault, as the background scenery can be difficult to read). And because of that, my quarry was torn to shreds. I don\u2019t have nearly enough stone to build a new wall on its sorely exposed slope, so I just sort of extended my current wall round the hill a bit. You can do that in Cataclismo: make your walls look a bit odd, for tactical reasons, just as long as they obey the laws of physics. With granular building mechanics come more granular decisions (bodges), and any number of routes that your defences (and indeed the Horrors that are attacking them) can be taken down.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s where the tower defence tag feels appropriate: the big-brain realisation that you can venture out from your stronghold to make outlier walls that will delay or divert the Horrors. The swarm seems to prefer a direct route, and who can blame them when collapsing structures will often take out not just your units but any Horrors standing underneath them. There are even fully fledged tower defence side missions that focus purely on this puzzle-like aspect, although with the sophisticated building mechanics, you\u2019re doing more than simply plonking some turrets down.<\/p>\n

It's easy to forget that Cataclismo is only in Early Access when the interface for building is so slick and user-friendly. Not only can you build defences when paused, and undo recent blocks with Ctrl+Z, but recycling them will give you all your materials back, instantly\u2014all refreshing acknowledgements of the fact that mis-clicks happen often in building games.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s an unfinished but enjoyable campaign mode that tells a minimalist story fairly well, not beating you over the head with backstory, but with voice-acting that feels oddly placeholder (though perhaps it is?). Of course, the campaign\u2019s main job is to teach you the mechanics, and in that way Cataclismo\u2019s is a success, with every mission introducing some new element, or focusing on a different ingredient in its genre stew. One mission you might be exploring a map, with just a few units and navigational obstacles to overcome, the next you\u2019re managing and expanding an existing outpost. It\u2019s all building towards the endgame, of this version at least: endless mode and skirmish maps, which should be enough to keep you occupied for quite some time.<\/p>\n

Endless space<\/h2>\n

Endless is essentially a roguelike mode that drops you into a randomly generated map\u2014a terrifyingly open map, at that. I\u2019ve generated several worlds in the one available biome and have been put off by the amount of open space, as this is fundamentally a game about making deals with your environment. All of the campaign maps, and both skirmish maps, are densely contoured with hills and forests, to provide plenty of natural defences, and suggest chokepoints and defensive locations, but it all feels a bit hodgepodge in endless mode. You can almost smell the procgen, as you try to survive endless waves while spending currency to unlock units and blocks. It\u2019s a neat idea, but the handcrafted skirmish maps are where it\u2019s at.<\/p>\n

There are only a couple in the game currently, but you can tell they\u2019ve been made with a designer\u2019s hand\u2014and it\u2019s these maps that will give Cataclismo its longevity. I\u2019ve played around with the intuitive level editor, and I can\u2019t wait to see what people will make with it, and how (hopefully) populous the Steam Workshop will become.<\/p>\n

Is there enough here right now, to make Cataclismo a good buy in Early Access<\/a>? Probably not if you want a satisfying campaign, as currently it's a journey that's varied and exciting but without an ending. There\u2019s no proper sandbox mode yet, either, although that\u2019s planned, along with the rest of the story, and additional biomes for skirmish maps and endless mode. But the building feels so good, and is so rich with possibilities, that I can\u2019t see it wearing thin any time soon.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n
