Sorry I should have elaborated, but I was on my phone and I wanted to make sure parent poster didn't miss out since I like that game that much.

He likes building games that use an isometric view and simple grid so I figured Against the Storm is a nice modern option although I can see why one would dislike it because of the roguelike elements.

> I mean is not even a city builder...?

What defines a city builder? Steam describes it as one. Game description: A dark fantasy city builder where you must rebuild civilization in the face of apocalyptic rains...

Yeah, the game loop seams quite different, but the game looks interesting regardless. I'm putting it on my wishlist. Thanks for the recommendation.

Steam tags are often questionable.

I'd consider a city builder to actually... Build a city.

Against the storm is more of a strategy game, with caveat that your strategy needs to center around the pure chance RNG for what building you're allowed to unlock.
