"Stem The Tide" is a blend of auto-battler, RTS, base builder, and roguelite. Lead a camp of survivors, grow your economy, forge an army, and fend off increasingly dangerous waves of the Swarm in procedurally generated battles.
The demo lets you play a complete run with a selected part of the game's content: four core factions and dozens of relics to discover. Everything you need to find out whether the last bastion is worth defending.
4 core factions: Peasants, Order, Chaos, and Technology
20+ recruitable units
60+ relics to empower your army
Camp building with faction structures and specializations
Unit merging and ascension
Procedurally generated battles with dynamic terrain and weather
Multiple endings depending on your chosen faction
Between waves, you manage your camp: construct buildings, unlock technologies and unit classes, recruit warriors, and keep an eye on the economy and army morale. Faction decisions matter - choosing one path can lock you out of another.
Merge 3 identical units into a higher tier, ascend your elite warriors, and build your army around faction synergies. When the Swarm arrives, the battle plays out automatically - but you can turn the tide with spells and soul abilities while weather and terrain reshape the battlefield.
5 more factions: Nature, Shadow, Undead, Dwarves, and Monks
140+ relics, 70+ units, and 60+ buildings
Additional biomes, enemies, and combat encounters
More endings and broader meta-progression with permanent unlocks
If you enjoy the demo, add Stem The Tide to your wishlist - it really helps us!
