Artificial Disasters, Forever Entertainment S. A., Storm Trident
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 is getting flooded.
About the story
Most likely due to global warming, the waters have risen to a level leaving only a handful of places habitable. As a small group of survivors, you need to extract resources in order to build an ark and move to a safer place. But beware, with time the waters are getting higher, leaving you with less land to use!

Movies Games and Tech
By Daniel WaiteI fear that many gamers will overlook Flooded. Its basic presentation and weird ideas will put many players off. Yet, if you give this a chance, you will enjoy an addictive and strategic simulation game. On top of this, the gentle learning curve and procedurally generated nature of the gameplay ensures that no attempt is ever the same. Subsequently, I love it and I recommend that you buy it here! Can you survive the never-ending tidal waters? Gather your resources, build to your heart’s content, and hope that luck is on your side.
WayTooManyGames
By Aaron PriceI would highly recommend checking out Flooded if you’ve wanted to give RTS games a chance, but find the whole thing overwhelming when you need to build cities or bases, build armies, defend yourself, attack others, and more at the same time. It’s a bit more of a relaxing pace, but can also get quite stressful as you get further and further through time.

Destructoid
By Zoey HandleyFor being a rather unique premise, Flooded offers a very tight and polished experience. It’s the sort of thing where I’m afraid that if you either add something or take it away, it will stop working. Just a terrific execution of its thesis. I’m not certain it will necessarily soak your socks like some more expansive builders might, but your time spent stranded will be worthwhile.
