About This Game Tempest Citadel is a base building game set on a storm-ruled planet in which sci-fi and fantasy collide. Assume the role of an enigmatic Captain from Terra, whose past and future are yours to shape, as he embarks on a mission to explore a deadly world that promises wondrous and terrible power.But you are not the first to come.Armies of ruthless enemies hide within the clouds, hungry for the blood of the weak and the foolish. From gene-spliced psychics to cyborg dark-mages, other factions have claimed the ancient sites which hold the technological marvels you seek.Can you build, grow, and risk enough to stand against your enemies? Will you forego mercy against those who would show you none? Do you have what it takes to fight for control of this world and claim the secrets of the ancient dead race that once ruled it?Your mission was a lie. Your first moments waking from cryostasis bear this revelation, and you find yourself in a corner of the cosmos that you know nothing about. Only one thing is clear: those that sent you knew full well what they were doing.Beneath you, a planet sleeps imprisoned by the planet-wide storm ruling its surface. What you're after – your true mission and your only way home – hides deep under those rage-fuelled clouds. And the price of ultimate power is always the most dear.Tempest Citadel sees you building a city in the clouds, module by module, and leading 100 unique crew members into action, be they Soldiers, Scavengers, Workers, Researchers, or Medical Experts. You pick their role, their training, their equipment.Explore a Tech Tree of over 200 research items, enhance your crew with Perks, Augs and Psionic abilities. Gather resources and build up your base and squad equipment.The primary goal is to explore the surface. You start by scanning and picking sites to send expeditions to, using any intel you can find to pick the best squad for the terrain, weather, and opposing forces. Preparation is vital; once your squad lands, the battle plays out automatically.Survival means conquest, so a big focus of research and production is optimising your attack squad and your city defences. With a full array of Sci-Fi weapons, armour, and augmentations, you can make anything from Bio-Enhanced Super Soldiers, to Exosuit-Wearing Assault Troopers, or even Psychic Stormweavers. Ultimately, choosing the right tool for the job is essential to victory; the right squad design can often overcome sheer strength in numbers.With a large crew to manage, you have options to auto-equip based on a role, such as "Assault Runner", "Skirmisher", or "Sniper". When you resupply with new weapons and armour, your crewmembers choose the best for their role.Successful missions can yield research data, such as blueprints and schematics, as well as scrap and tech items. Back at the city, these are vital to unlocking the 200+ node research trees, and constructing 170+ modules, items, and weapons.Missions will also have a cost, both material and human. If your soldiers fall in battle, you can bring them back with all kinds of technology - but they might lose their humanity in the process.Your progress on the planet is beaten back by 5 enemy factions, each with their own troops, tech specialities, strengths, weaknesses, and storylines. Overcoming them is no easy feat. Further, the day-to-day running of the city is interrupted by tactical and social dilemmas that lead to great risks – but also to lucrative opportunities.Aartform Games' previous Steam releases include the empire building economics sim Spice Road and a fun sculpting program Curvy 3D---What lost secrets lay hidden beneath the eons-old storms?

True the combat is not X com but it has its own charm and you can get your team slaughtered none the less. All in all a really charming sci fi strategy game with plenty of techy gubbins for you to research and strengthen your away teams with. Ive enjoyed my time so far and can see many people enjoying its laid back pacing and reasonable challenge, all in all a great indy title and worth the price of addmission.. This old Grognard gives it the full thumbs up ;). Nothing wrong with this game, it just feels about 10 years late.Battles themselves are very dull, I'm not sure why your given the illusion of control as its basically auto resolve.There are worse games but for its price this just isn't worth it.. It's about six hours of gameplay if you play fast, 10~ if you play slow. With that out of the way let's move on. Tempest Citadel is a trippy sci-fi romp into a stormy planet that is trying to be several games at once without really mastering any aspect. Now, this is not to say that this game is bad. I would say this might be one of the best X-Com inspired indie games of the decade. But what I am saying is that there are obvious flaws in Tempest Citadel. You awaken from cryosleep and quickly get shot down. You then do a few missions and locate a flying citadel that you turn into your base. This base is where you construct new facilities and otherwise play the game from. You then launch over a hundred ground missions, which is just an excersize of letting the game auto-complete itself. There are a few different types of enemeies, which you always see at such a distance they all just look like people in armor. You just sort of techrush and get guns and armor to stomp enemies. Where the game gets things right is it *tries* to impose moral choices that are actually single choice answers. At the start of the game you learn that a portion of your crew died in cryosleep, and you can otherwise harvest them for resources. You can however revive them at the very, very end of the game if you keep them; where by then you will have either lost the game by then or not need them. Then the game gives you not one but two different fake chances to play diplomatically. The order hate you and the mechanists eventually turn hostile because you are forced to lauch a suicide mission. This is a great attempt, but the writing starts to fall apart in the middile of the game as you stop caring what these people are babbling about. The Dominion and Order just insult you, the Mechanists don't give straight answers, and the Arcane just sort of exist. The game gets very tedius in the mid-game, and very little variation happens. Only hard core strategy fans should apply.. An extremely bad case of a "game that plays itself". Battles are automatic (you can manually "command" squads, but there's absolutely no point doing it), the game outside of battles is an extremely simplistic resource management sim (get resources then spend them to progress through campaign).The game tries extremely hard to wear you down with seemingly abundant management options, but the essense of it is extremely basic (as I said above, get resources then spend them on campaign blockers), linear, and plain. Most of the time you're just clicking on things that you need to click on, and there are no alternatives.PS: There's also a story going on, but no amount of story-telling can compensate the extremely shallow gameplay.. Unlike most other reviewers, I am not an experienced player of Strategy Games but I found this one sucked me in. The scenes are enchanting and quite dramatic. It took me a while to get the hang of the user interface and I am looking forward to starting again from scratch and see if I can manage my crew much better. I was happy to let the battles fight themselves out but hope that as I get better I can take more control over my troops.The soundtrack is great and adds to the atmosphere. All in all, it is a change to play a game I can take at my own pace. The ability to speed up time is really useful. I feel I am only scratching the surface of the underlying complexity and there are a lot of challenges ahead to really master it.. This is not a RTS or Turn-Based combat game. It is all about base building and crew development - and has quite a relaxing flow to it.It is a charming game with beautiful graphics and an engaging storyline. I love the huge research tree and the care taken over each individual crew member.
