Our favorite strategy game fromSteam Next Festhas just smashed its Kickstarter goal - a little over a week after it launched.
Cataclismo is a real-time strategy game that has players building castles stone-by-stone and defending them against swarms of enemies. In the game, players have to use their Lego-building skills to construct castles piece by piece. They’ll also need to gather materials to build walls, bridges, and anything else they think will help stop the ‘Horrors’ from getting through their defense.
Developer Digital Sun (who you may also know as the developer of acclaimed roguelite Moonlighter) launched Cataclismo’sKickstartercampaign on October 10, and within less than three hours the project had already been funded 30%. By the next day, it had easily collected 50% of its funding, and by October 17 the entire goal had been reached - with another 24 days still left to go on the campaign.
We recently got a taste of Cataclismo byplaying its demo during Steam Next Fest. News Editor Ali Jones was the one to try it out and said it had “the most promise of anything I’ve played so far in Steam Next Fest” - even after the stairs he had strategically placed got munched on by monsters. The event may be over but you can still try out Cataclismo’s demo viaSteamas well as contribute to its stretch goals on Kickstarter which include a photo mode and blueprint creation tool.

After studying Film Studies and Creative Writing at university, I was lucky enough to land a job as an intern at Player Two PR where I helped to release a number of indie titles. I then got even luckier when I became a Trainee News Writer at GamesRadar+ before being promoted to a fully-fledged News Writer after a year and a half of training. My expertise lies in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, cozy indies, and The Last of Us, but especially in the Kingdom Hearts series. I’m also known to write about the odd Korean drama for the Entertainment team every now and then.
