You guide a small settlement of prehistoric people from the Stone Age toward the Iron Age, developing it across more than 10,000 years. Keep the community supplied by hunting animals, fishing, gathering resources, and building homes and facilities.
Manage changing seasons and the needs of your population: stock food and warm clothing for winter, balance work across tasks, and develop farming and animal domestication. Disease, predators, harsh weather, and raids can put the settlement at risk.
Research technologies as the settlement develops, unlocking new tools, materials, buildings, and ways to produce resources. Expand and fortify the village, craft weapons, and quarry and transport massive stones to build megalithic structures.
Players who enjoy Dawn of Man often praise the gradual development from a small hunter-gatherer group into a more advanced settlement, and the way new technologies change its needs and routines. Reviews also value the prehistoric setting and the measured pace of planning food, work, and defenses through the seasons; some find that pace relaxing, while others find progression slow or the later game repetitive.
Take control of a settlement of the first modern humans, guide them through the ages in their struggle for survival.
Dawn of Man is a survival/city-builder from the creators of Planetbase.
The game starts in the Stone Age, and takes you up to the Iron Age, spanning more than 10,000 years of human prehistory.
You will have to get your people to survive, expand and evolve, just like our ancestors, facing the challenges that the environment will throw at you.
Animals were a vital source of food and resources for ancient humans. Use their meat to feed your people and their skin and bones to make clothing and craft the tools you will need to stay alive.
Confront Mammoths, Woolly Rhinos, Ancient Bison, Megaloceros, Cave Lions and other species that roamed the earth at the time.
Collect a variety resources from the environment: fruit, berries, water, wood, flint, stone, ores. Use them to prepare food, to make tools and to build structures in your settlement.
Fish is more abundant in spring, berries and fruit can be collected in summer and animals are easier to come by when it's warm.
When winter comes, make sure to have enough non-perishable food and warm clothing in order to survive.
Build more homes and facilities for your people, in order to expand your population.
Construct fortifications and craft weapons, so you are ready for when the inevitable conflict comes.
Each new discovery will make it easier for your settlement to be able to support larger populations, but will also bring new challenges: increased food demand, morale issues and more frequent raider attacks.
Our ancestors were capable of incredible engineering feats: mine massive rocks from the environment, transport them using sledges and construct colossal stone structures.
Unlock farming technologies to grow your own vegetables, so you can feed large amounts of people. Domesticate animals to produce food, resources and provide increased muscle power.
