Capture the largest storms on camera

Storm Chasers is a paid indie simulator from Little Cloud Games. In this online multiplayer, you get to be one of the titular storm chasers: people who go after the thrill and danger of capturing storms and twisters up close. As you drive in search of the perfect shot, you have to avoid debris and powerful gusts.

Storm Chasers has a unique premise, based on an equally unique career choice. However, its overall design is reminiscent of Car Mechanic Simulator 2015 or Contraband Police. See how far your skills and your guts will take you with this open-world adventure.

Chase alone or with others

Storm Chasers is flexible with its single-player and multiplayer options. Playing alone, you get the chance to learn the ropes of storm chasing and challenge Mother Nature by yourself. In multiplayer, you can play against your fellow chasers in various symmetrical formats: 1 vs 1, 2 vs 2, or 4 vs 4. Additionally, there are different game mechanics to consider.

However, what makes Storm Chasers addictive is the complexity it lends to the game. It boasts realistic physics for its tornadoes, the same with its wind trajectory and speed as well as the destruction of environmental elements in its path. Also, changing weather conditions is something players will have to deal with, patterned after real meteorological patterns. Apparently random, it’s up to you to uncover and adjust to these patterns.

Its unique gameplay is best exemplified by its photography system. Photos are evaluated based on a variety of factors such as distance, the image focus, and even debris captured in the image are counted. Also, cars are changeable and each have different capabilities and radar equipment on board, helping you on your mission. The only challenge, however, is its high system requirements, making it unfit for lower-end gaming systems.

A must-have, if you can

Provided that your system can handle the game’s rather heavy requirements, Storm Chasers is a must-have. It is the best experience available without having to jump into your car and drive into the closest storm. With its graphics, realistic physics, and unique gameplay, this really puts you into the shoes and the lenses of a storm chaser. Both challenging and addictive, you can enjoy it alone or with others.
