As terrifying and as heart-breaking as they are, I am fascinated by natural disasters, while not ever really wanting to be up close an personal to a big one. A couple of minor earthquakes is all I have had to ‘survive’ so far, and long may it stay that way.
I am super interested in Tornado Alley though and how that particular region of the United Stages sees some crazy storms. I am also into watching Storm Chasers from the comfort of YouTube, so therefore, by proxy I am interested in the new game from Breaking Dimensions and Polygon Dust – Storm Burst: Tornado Alley
There are a couple of storm chasing games out in the wild already but Storm Burst is taking a different approach and is being billed as a “tense and atmospheric survival game”.
Now survival games as a genre generally have you punching trees to make wood, but at least here, all the trees will be already ripped out of the ground.
The premise of this game from the devs who bring a mix of AAA and indie experience, is that you are thrown into a race against time to protect your farm from the incoming storm, and most importantly, survive it.
Here’s how they are describing the game, “Storm Burst: Tornado Alley is a single-player, replayable survival experience that pits players against nature. Race throughout the farmstead, and plan the most optimal way to secure your livelihood and your life against the perils of the incoming storm before it reaches your house. Complete as many objectives as you can and get to the storm shelter before it’s too late. Time is short.
“Listen to the emergency broadcast and look to the clouds to determine your greatest path of success. Complete all your necessary tasks to secure the wellbeing of your farm, and your own safety! Turn off dangerous power and gas lines, seal the gas wells, release your farm animals, secure your home, and more as you race against the clock- all the while evading nature’s most fearsome threat.”
So it sounds pretty novel even if the above trailer isn’t revealing that much. Looks like will have some kind of roguelike meets Twister scenario going on. Looking forward to playing this one.
Storm Burst: Tornado Alley will launch February 19, 2025, on Steam for PC.
