- In a nutshell: a city building game in prehistoric times
Prehistoric themes and ancient worlds are becoming increasingly popular among city building strategy games. Ancient Cities, that is going to be released this year, is a great example of this modern trend. Fans have high hopes that such titles are going to meet their requirements. Another interesting example is Dawn of Man – a solid city builder set in the times of ancient cities. This strategy game was released both on PCs and consoles in the last quarter of 2018.
The strategy game developed by Madruga Works allows you to take control of a small human settlement from the Old Stone Age to the early Iron Age. This is not an easy task, because prehistory was definitely one of the most unpleasant periods in the history of man. In order to succeed, it is necessary to achieve a specific synergy with the flora and fauna surrounding your settlement. In other words, nature is your main source of resources. Therefore, player actions and survival are dependent on the availability of local animals and changing weather conditions. Also, occasional invasions of barbaric tribes may pose a serious threat to your people. In order to effectively defend and develop your settlement you have to discover new technologies.
All features of decent city building strategy games have been combined together in order to create a truly immersive experience. Despite the fact that Dawn of Man relates to a violent era, it's a very relaxing and entertaining strategy game. The peaceful pace of gameplay and the lack of hardcore challenges may seem discouraging to most Dwarf Fortress fans. On the other hand, gamers that like to relax in the evening by watching how their small settlement develops should definitely get interested in Dawn of Man.
