Hooded Horse is an exciting publisher that has released several notable games, including Manor Lords, Against the Storm, and Empires of the Undergrowth.
Their latest title, Cataclismo, combines the creativity of LEGO building with the challenge of a zombie survival game.
In Cataclismo, players have the opportunity to design and construct their own fortresses in great detail, using a virtual LEGO-like system.
As they build up their strongholds, they must defend them against hordes of zombie-like creatures that emerge from the Mist.
These creatures test the players’ defenses during the day, but it’s at night that the true challenge arises, as players must withstand the relentless onslaught night after night.
The game requires constant, yet enjoyable, management of your fortress’s operations, upkeep, and defense.
Players can find satisfaction in various construction styles, from creating impressive structures to simply building a sturdy box fort.
Both strategies are viable, as long as you master your units and unlock new capabilities to survive each wave.
The game offers three distinct modes, each with its own unique feel while maintaining the core gameplay.
In the opinion of this humble reviewer, the game is already quite good, and with its Early Access status, it is poised to become even better in the future.
