Artificial Disasters has released their innovative strategy game, “Flooded,” on Steam and GOG, offering players an engaging and challenging gameplay experience. “Flooded” takes the familiar city-builder formula and adds a twist, as players race against time to protect their people from an unstoppable flood.
In “Flooded,” players start on a resource-rich island, where they must gather iron, copper, and lead to build a provisional city. Ensuring access to water and electricity is essential for developing new technologies, with the ultimate goal of constructing an ark to save a group of survivors. The gameplay is designed to keep players focused, as the island continuously shrinks with each passing minute.
Players must carefully manage their internal economy, constructing mines, power plants, and drilling platforms to gather more workers and resources. As mission goals are completed, players gain access to advanced structures, but must maintain their defense systems to fend off ruthless pirates.
The single-player campaign reveals the story behind the mysterious cataclysm, but “Flooded” also offers additional gameplay modes. In Quick Game mode, players can customize game conditions using various factors and parameters, allowing them to tailor the game to match their skills and preferences. The Endless mode challenges players to survive on an island that periodically recovers land previously lost to the flood.
Key features of “Flooded” include:
- Redefined city-builder gameplay with a shrinking island that challenges players to make quick decisions.
- Three game modes: story-driven Campaign, customized challenges in Quick Play, and survival-focused Endless mode with procedurally-generated lands for varied playthroughs.
- A variety of commanders with passive skills and starting bonuses, along with various relics to enrich gameplay and support individual strategies.
- An intriguing mystery to uncover regarding the cause of the flood during the campaign.
- Six different biomes to discover, each with unique weather conditions and mechanics that affect gameplay and strategy.
- A minimalistic graphic design that emphasizes the best aspects of gameplay.
“Flooded” is now available on PC through Steam and GOG for $12.99 USD/€12.79 EUR, with a 10% discount available during the release week.
