Developed by Uncasual Games · Published by Uncasual Games
Set in prehistoric Europe, the game puts you in charge of a tribe in a chosen time and place, from the Mesolithic to the Neolithic. Lead its members across generations as they establish a settlement in environments with different climates, wildlife and resources.
You guide people indirectly by assigning workgroups and priorities rather than issuing orders to individuals. Organize gathering, hunting, fishing, crafting and construction while managing food, materials, housing and population. Seasonal changes affect available resources, and local shortages can make migration necessary.
Tribal skills develop through work, while migrants can bring new knowledge. Use that knowledge to improve what the tribe can do, and manage its relations with neighboring tribes through trade or attacks. You can also relocate the settlement as conditions and resources change.
Players who enjoy the game often praise its uncommon prehistoric setting, detailed environments and slower settlement-building pace. They value guiding workgroups, seeing skills and knowledge develop, and making survival choices around seasons and migration. Other reviews describe frustration with indirect controls, the interface and storage system, population and resource balance, and performance, so the supplied reviews reflect mixed experiences.
Ancient Cities is a realistic, survival city builder in an immersive procedural environment. Lead the fate of your tribe through ancient times!
You will have to guide your people through generations, discovering and improving technologies, managing resources and population, building your city organically and facing other tribes in a fully simulated world and ecosystem.
Take your time to build your ancient city, step into our ancestors footsteps and get immersed in the ancient times.
In Ancient Cities you can play at any time and place of the European Stone Age. From the warm Mediterranean to cold Scandinavia and from the end of the Ice Age to the end of the Neolithic.
In each time and place you will have historically accurate forests, animals, buildings, tools, resources and knowledge of each culture that you will have to manage to survive in the harsh ancient times.
Ancient Cities reduces micromanagement through intelligent automation. Organise and build while your citizens perform the tasks that best suit their specific skills and knowledge.
In the regional game layer, you will be able to trade or attack neighbouring tribes or perhaps decide to migrate elsewhere if resources become scarce.
This is only the beginning, Ancient Cities has been designed as an ever-improving platform that supports the continuous introduction of new compatible content to explore new cultures and places throughout history.
