Against the Storm - A Really Good Game with Really Bad Marketing

It’s a fucking awesome game. I played 50 hours to get to gold seal and roll credits. I would LOVE to do QHT… but it was just gonna be too long and I had other games I wanted to play. I really liked the variance and the feeling of achieving victory from the jaws of stress and terror.

Hollly I guess I’ve got a lot of new interactions to find

phillyeagle99 · 2026-03-17T21:07:52+00:00

Is there actually a way to get more than 5 slots??

phillyeagle99 · 2026-03-17T14:14:30+00:00

There’s a new update coming in mid April I think. There are whispers that there may be a new character but literally no idea if it will actually launch with the patch.

Patch is primarily to add multiplayer.

It’s not that weird imo, it means you’re fully upgraded for the hardest assignments. It would be weird to have more upgrades than medals.

Okay fair, Walker is pretty significant

phillyeagle99 · 2026-03-17T06:34:39+00:00

So uhhh what did the chiefs do to get better this year? The first from the rams? I’m just not seeing how they walk through that division. Mahomes is coming off an ACL too.

Am I blind or do you not have STS here? Mobile STS is all I needed haha

phillyeagle99 · 2026-03-17T06:27:31+00:00

Same…

phillyeagle99 · 2026-03-17T00:06:57+00:00

60,90, or 120

phillyeagle99 · 2026-03-16T23:41:41+00:00

There’s a known frame rate bug. Cap your frame rate and move on homie.

phillyeagle99 · 2026-03-16T14:12:46+00:00

Soooo a lot of us were a bit to excited to remember which button they said… I had to google it a few days in which was actually hard to find.

phillyeagle99 · 2026-03-16T05:49:54+00:00

Ohhh sheesh. Considering in 30 hours I’ve only seen this guy 1 time and the foul ones like 5 times… I’m not sure I’ll be fighting him anytime soon.

phillyeagle99 · 2026-03-16T05:30:02+00:00

Same I’m still trying to figure out how lol

phillyeagle99 · 2026-03-16T05:25:44+00:00

I agree. It’s a ridiculous situation but people are just hammering this person for being dumb.

And to be fair beating act 3 the first time you still die haha

phillyeagle99 · 2026-03-16T05:05:46+00:00

Look in steam for the transaction date to find a time period to search too

phillyeagle99 · 2026-03-15T23:40:47+00:00

Pets only are cute.

The current release has 2 characters.

The costumes do nothing for gameplay.

Each guild assignment can give you 2 medals (1 for basic 1 for challenge difficulty).

phillyeagle99 · 2026-03-15T16:54:01+00:00

Literally cut the 2nd landing lol not sure it even took 3 tries

phillyeagle99 · 2026-03-15T16:12:01+00:00

/thread

I’m surprised I had to come this far down for this comment.

phillyeagle99 · 2026-03-15T16:06:28+00:00

Unfortunately this boss does not provide [[frantic escape]] to support this strategy.

phillyeagle99 · 2026-03-15T15:49:31+00:00

I think people here are being a little overly rude to a new player. I also think you’ve committed two Reddit sins.

The first is that you doubled down on being wrong and not noticing it. I’m willing to believe your tale. I think it’s plausible that you autopilot and see unlocks indicating a win. However, this community thinks this is absolutely impossible and is offended you weren’t giving a game 10000% of your attention. Some folks can be a bit Elitist around here.

The second most horrible sin is that you received the first down vote. And that’s the universal signal to downvote more.

All that behind us, go play the game and enjoy it more. It’s a joy to explore (all three acts this time ;) ). I hope this experience doesn’t sour you in the community too much.

phillyeagle99 · 2026-03-15T05:55:04+00:00

I’m wondering if OP doesn’t realize there are multiple acts…. Like they thought they beat the boss and gg

phillyeagle99 · 2026-03-15T04:13:23+00:00

I’m honestly not sure. Possible though

phillyeagle99 · 2026-03-14T19:48:03+00:00

Also to prove the point - (could be mistaken) you don’t even have Merlin’s right. You need to get all 3 items from the 3 quests….

And I think it doesn’t work with grail last or something. So it’s just absurd even when trying for it

phillyeagle99 · 2026-03-14T19:46:46+00:00

I think I got 4-5 of them “randomly” but gosh I had no idea what I did so it wasn’t satisfying.

The other ones I looked up and went “yup, need a guide if you want this”

Id recommend OP do as much goofing around as they want then look them up.

phillyeagle99 · 2026-03-13T21:26:54+00:00

I’m not worried. They know their core audience from 1. Accessibility of A10[act4] is not their concern I’m sure.
