Against the Storm: Keepers of the Stone Review (PrexMP3)
Honestly, 15USD for a new species to unlock and a new biome...whether or not it's worth it only you can really decide, but for a game that costs 30USD it really isn't much to ask.
I like the new biome. That's not much to say, but I truly would rather keep the game solid with gameplay that lasts over gimmicks that look neat at first but ruin the gameplay loop, so as far as I'm concerned I want the devs to stick with the gameplay route over cheap spectacle.
As for the new species, sure you have to unlock them...so? My dream team is still, to this day, the base three of human, beaver and lizard, but part of the challenge is to work with what the game gives you to try and succeed. Sometimes you get unlucky, but you still learn and who knows? Maybe you'll discover a gameplay route you didn't expect?
For real, the amount of invention I see coming up with excuses to complain about this game is unreal, sometimes. What would some prefer? Paid cosmetic packs? Okay, I wouldn't mind that. Some optional decorations and skins might be cool...
A city only mode with no, or at least limited, hostility and impatience, so you can fiddle around with making a city? Okay, that could be cool, maybe you could even still advance and farm for upgrade materials...
If people spent half the time coming up with ideas as they do inventing reasons to downvote this game, man...
This though? Keepers of the Stone is a fine addition to the base game and I'm enjoying the content. Despite the strange and confusing complaints Against the Storm draws, it is completely optional to your experience. If 15 dollary-doos is worth that, by all mean, add it to your library.
