Hooded Horse, a well-known PC video game publisher, is set to release another exciting game into early access next week. The game, called Cataclismo, is the latest creation from Digital Sun Games, the developers behind Moonlighter and The Mageseeker: A League of Legends Story. Cataclismo combines real-time strategy and tower defense mechanics, offering players a high level of freedom in designing their defenses to fend off nightly attacks from terrifying “horrors.”
Despite being in early access, Cataclismo has already caught the attention of fans of RTS, base-building, and tower defense games. With titles like Manor Lords and now Cataclismo, Hooded Horse is establishing itself as a publisher to watch in the PC gaming world.
In Cataclismo, players follow Lady Iris on a quest to find a mythical artifact while battling the corrupted horrors that threaten humanity. The gameplay blends RTS elements reminiscent of games like Age of Empires with a strong emphasis on tower defense and base construction.
Building a strong defense during the day is crucial to surviving the nightly attacks in Cataclismo. Players must manage resources, construct buildings, and strategically command units to fend off the relentless onslaught of enemies.
With various gameplay modes and a robust level editor, Cataclismo offers a deep and engaging experience that goes beyond typical early access titles. The inclusion of Steam Workshop support allows players to share custom creations, adding to the game’s longevity and replay value.
Cataclismo will launch in early access on Steam on July 22, with plans for an extended early access period to further refine and enhance the game.
