I played about 80h of that game and you bringing it up in this context is quiet strange. I mean is not even a city builder...? The whole stick is that it's rogue-like and each game lasts at most 30-40 minutes, which is antithetical to the game loop of building a city
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.

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...
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.

Steam tags are often questionable.

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