Creative Storm Entertainment

Creative Storm Entertainment is an independent video game development and publishing studio based in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Its work focuses on PC games built around management systems, tactical decisions, and narrative choices. The studio develops and publishes its own titles, with a portfolio spanning gladiatorial management, post-apocalyptic strategy, western business simulation, and science-fiction role-playing. Its games reach players through digital storefronts including Steam and GOG.

The studio made its commercial debut with Age of Gladiators in February 2016. Set in ancient Rome, the single-player management and strategy game combines roster development with tactical turn-based fights and roguelike elements. It established a recurring interest in managing organizations and making decisions that shape their fortunes.

The series subsequently explored different settings. Age of Gladiators II: Death League, released in September 2017, moved gladiatorial sports management into a futuristic science-fiction world. Age of Gladiators II: Rome followed in August 2018, returning to classical antiquity with updated mechanics. In March 2023, Age of Gladiators Reforged revisited the original game through a remake and visual modernization.

Beyond that franchise, Raiders! Forsaken Earth, released in November 2020, casts players as wasteland marauders building and managing a post-apocalyptic organization. Its systems include extorting settlements and confronting mercenaries. Deadwater Saloon, released in September 2022, applies the studio’s simulation interests to running a frontier saloon.

More recently, the studio expanded into narrative-driven computer role-playing games with Sector Unknown. This isometric science-fiction RPG takes place in a desolate star sector shaped by corporate exploitation. It combines dialogue choices and faction politics with base building and turn-based tactical combat. Following prologue and demo releases in 2025, the game reached its full 1.0 release in February 2026.

Across these projects, Creative Storm’s development work encompasses game design, programming, narrative and quest writing, alongside digital publishing and community management. Its portfolio reflects a progression from organization-focused simulations toward broader role-playing experiences while retaining an emphasis on player decisions and interconnected systems.
