THE LAST STAND AGAINST THE SWARM

"Stem The Tide" is a blend of auto-battler, RTS, base builder, and roguelite. Manage a camp of survivors, develop your economy, forge extraordinary armies, and fend off increasingly dangerous waves of the Swarm in procedurally generated battles.

Every decision matters - your choice of factions and relics, army morale, or the sacrifice of units can determine your survival.

BUILD AND DEVELOP YOUR CAMP

Prepare for the coming waves in an extensive camp management phase. Constructing buildings allows you to unlock new technologies, unit classes, and specializations that impact your playstyle.

Recruit warriors based on your chosen progression path, manage the economy and army morale, and make factional decisions that might lock you out of alternative technologies and units.

Your fortress feels alive - buildings take up physical space, affect their surroundings, and define your gameplay style.

FORGE MIGHTY ARMIES

Merge units and evolve them into increasingly powerful forms:

• Merge 3 identical units to create a higher tier

• Ascend elite warriors through powerful rituals and unlock unique traits

• Create synergistic, faction-based armies

From simple peasants to battle angels, mechs, and chimeras - every unit can become part of an extraordinary strategy.

FIGHT IN DYNAMIC BATTLES

Battles play out automatically, but you can actively influence the course of the clash. Cast spells to support your army, unleash powerful soul abilities, and adapt your strategy to the ever-changing conditions of the battlefield.

Every encounter takes place on procedurally generated maps with dynamic terrain and weather. Rain floods rivers, lava damages units, and explosions destroy the environment, altering the battlefield layout. The time of day, biome, and terrain elevation affect your army's effectiveness and demand constant adaptation.

DISCOVER FACTIONS

Each faction offers its own playstyle, unique units, special buildings, and a distinct approach to combat and economy. Mix factions, create hybrid armies, and discover powerful synergistic combinations.

Core Factions:

• The Order - holy warriors fighting in the name of light and law.

• Chaos - an unpredictable army of demons, berserkers, and madmen.

• Nature - the wild force of the forest supported by beasts and ancient beings.

• Technology - advanced war machines, gunpowder, and mechanical constructs.

ROGUELITE PROGRESSION

Every run expands your capabilities and opens up new strategies. Acquire game-changing relics, unlock new unit classes, events, and powerful faction combinations. The achievement system provides permanent bonuses between runs, allowing you to gradually strengthen your empire.

Every decision affects the further development of the campaign and leads to different endings depending on your chosen faction.
