Evaluation
Flooded launched on April 12, 2023 and received several post-launch feature updates through late 2023, adding new difficulty modes, technologies, decorations, and language support. In March 2024, the developer teased that they hadn't "said their last word yet," and as recently as November 2024 mentioned working on things behind the scenes. That November 2024 post, however, was primarily an announcement for the developer's new game — Don't Wake the Beast — and signaled a transition away from Flooded. Despite this, the developer followed through with one final major addition: Nightmare Mode, released on May 27, 2026, adding a harder difficulty for experienced players. With that release, Flooded appears to have reached its completed state — the developer has moved on to a new project, and there are no announcements of further content, unreleased DLC, or ongoing roadmap commitments for Flooded.

About this game
SURVIVE THE FLOOD
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!MANAGE YOUR PROUCTION
Use different buildings to excavate precious resources. Upgrade them in order to maximize the production speed, find relics that will boost your performance and develop new technologies which will allow you to keep up the production rate on a smaller area.
DEFEND THE ISLAND
Turns out you’re not alone in this hostile environment. Other survivors have settled on nearby islands and they will take every chance to plunder your land. Build various defensive towers and traps to keep your miners safe.
EXPLORE DIVERSE ISLANDS
Once your island plunges into the ocean, you will need to find a new piece of land. Make sure you gather enough resources in time to build an arc and explore the unknown waters. Beware, you will encounter different biomes, each with their own set of characteristics!
UNCOVER THE STORY
With global warming being the one of the main issues of today’s society, it seems to be the easiest explanation of the worldwide flood. But is it really the reason why you are trapped on an island, fighting for survival and trying to reach the tallest mountain? Play the story mode to find out!
ROGUE-LITE RTS
Although Flooded will be story-driven, it will also include rogue-lite elements. Thanks to the procedurally generated islands, each playthrough will be different, while new commanders and relics unlocked with progress will allow you to apply different strategies. Create your own scenario in Quickplay or try the Endless mode, in which the level of water will lower every time you enter a new era, therefore giving you back some land.
