Hogardians! After 67 hours of playtime chasing all the achievements, I can confidently say this was a great game and an excellent first attempt at the RTS/Builiding genre. The real-time strategy with creative building mechanics was a lot of fun and constructing towering fortresses while carefully positioning troops is essential for survival at the highest difficulty. Every wave feels like a puzzle, and the sense of completion after just clutching a win on the final expert wave is incredible. The game strikes an amazing balance between thoughtful planning and combat. You’re constantly challenged to adapt, optimise resource collection, and innovate your designs, but it never feels overwhelming. It’s clear the developers put immense care into every aspect— and for a first attempt in the genre, it's great. Achieving 100% completion was tough, largely due to the Skirmish maps being quite the challenge compared to the campaign, and usually I'd be the first to give up chasing those last few achievements. But, the improvements with each failed attempt or reload were addictive. The campaign, side missions, and various challenge modes overall offer some really nice depth and variety, and there's a constant sense of progression. If you're a fan of well-designed Tower Defence/RTS games, Cataclismo is absolutely worth your time and I'm looking forward to expansions/sequels (if we get any!)

I enjoyed this game very much! It wonderfully itches the scratch for a deamers who envision might bastions that defend people from incoming hordes of enemies. I just love building fortresses - it's amazing and the fact that gameplay features are reinforcing building process is just genius. Even on a normal difficulty, some level are very challenging. Voice acting and art style are superb. Highly recommend

After playing They Are Billions, I really wanted this game to be what I was looking for. Being able to build my own castle and strategically build the optimal setup to stop wave after wave after.... wait what? That I can only have a very limited amount of units on the map? So that Great wall I built cant be completely full with the strongest unit in the game? And thats where the things start to crumble (Not only my walls). [h3]Pros:[h3] - Build castle and walls how YOU want to. The games strongest point and can easily use hours and just have fun with this. I can not understate how much fun it is and how much time I spent on just this one thing. - Build the army that you want to compose. - Terrain height and weather effects the way you play. [h3]Cons: [h3] - Not being able to man every great wall you have built since there is a unit cap. "Well just expand your unit cap", well thats not enough. - I want rows of units standing on my walls, but instead I have to limit it to the same optimal unit composition of 2-3 different types of teams consisting of 7-8 units. - Story is VERY bad. I stopped listening to their horrible voice acting, poor character design and even worse character development. - Story is using a "mechanic" called "fold time". Its basically a save mechanic, and serves no purpose for the story really. - You can pet a raven in mission select.... it does nothing, serves no purpose. - Terrain works horribly with the free camera mode. Several times when I was trying to build a stairway along a pillar in campaign, I was fighting the camera more than it was needed. [h3]Conclusion:[h3] It had a potential to to be a great game. However, the story reminds me of some of the story from Homeworld 3, absolute dogshit and makes me completely uninterested in the campaign. By the time I got to the 3rd last mission, I just wanted the game to end so I could put it in the back burner. The construction of castle, walls and optimising the living quarters is so much fun though. Creating things with these mechanics were so cool, and it is by far the games strongest point.

got a item that caused me to pay 100 scrap to upkeep i Dont have that much scrap so i ended up never being able to buy the warehouse. i was negative 14 production with no way of increasing it.. because i need scrap to upkeep which as soon as i produce any it gets taken away. Cards should be removable or sold for resources. made my 3 hour game completely broken. as well as some of the troops don't make it to my settlement so i don't get the bonus. I'm on night 15 with 7 upgrades.

[h1] Good Ideas. Meh application. [/h1] I really enjoyed playing through most of the story in Cataclismo, the lore and the voice acting is mostly what got me engaged and kept me playing. I think though the game is trying to do too much with how little it gives. You play a level very quickly with little development on the designing and troop management. I want to like it, but everything just feels slightly awkward to do. Especially just trying to build simple defences takes a lot of management when that shouldn't be the games focus. Would buy again, but only on a sale.

I am a long time RTS fan, playing similar games since Age of Empires, and Myth: The Fallen Lords. This game is AMAZING! Awesome game play, both combat and city management. The building aspect is very fun with a lot of space for creativity. The art and aesthetic of the game is beautiful, and the story is compelling.
