Can you turn the tide and survive in Flooded?

Dropping onto Xbox and PlayStation is Flooded, a reversed city-builder where rising water levels have meant solid ground is diminishing rapidly. It leaves you you and a group of miners stranded on shrinking islands. 

Your mission? Build, gather, and upgrade to secure safe ground amidst the encroaching floodwaters. 

Build, gather, upgrade

You’ll have to act swiftly as the land shrinks. Construct new buildings, gather essential resources, and upgrade structures to fortify your position and devise escape routes from the vanishing islands.

Fight off the danger

Beware – it’s not only the water that you need to be wary of. Hostile forces, including pirates seeking to capitalise on the chaos, are lurking. Survival depends on your ability to fend off danger by building defensive structures, deploying water mines, and raising turrets.

Game description

Flooded is a reversed city-builder in which you need to optimize your production on an island that shrinks over time. Gather enough resources to flee to safety while the surrounding world gets flooded. 

Survive the Flood 

The waters have risen to an alarming level, leaving merely a handful of places habitable. As a leader of a small group of survivors, you are tasked to extract resources in order to construct an ark and move to a safer location. But beware, as time passes, the waters are getting higher, reducing the available land at your disposal.
