Video games are comfortable at the end of the world, and they're also happy to let you build things to your heart's content. Cataclismo offers both apocalypse and the infinite tinkering of buildable worlds in bulk. Your enjoyment of the game will be dependent on how much joy you can extract from these two well-worn concepts.
Releasing into Steam Early Access on July 22, Cataclismo is the newest offering from developer Digital Sun – most famous for 2018's shopkeeping roguelike Moonlighter. Billed as equal parts city builder and tower defense, Cataclismo continues Digital Sun's reputation for welding game mechanics from different systems into one another to make something new.
