The game Dawn of Man is definitely one of the successful strategies. Leading your people from their beginnings to the Iron Age is an excellent subject. After all, how many such games are there? It reminds one of history lessons in elementary school, but in a more entertaining way.
Dawn of Man is a competent city building game set, as the name explains, during the dawn of mankind. Moving through the ages, the slow progress early on leaves a real sense of achievement, made possible thanks to a strong resource system and the way knowledge is gained, working with the rest of gameplay to create an enthralling gameplay loop. Sadly this does falter towards the end of any game, even becoming boring at times, but for the most part Dawn of Man is one city building game that fans of the type won't want to miss, despite any flaws it has.
Until Dawn was always best experienced with a friend there to shout at your bad decisions, and now you get to shout at each other instead. That’s progress.
Dawn of Man is not a perfect game, but you will easily forgive some of its minor faults. It's a good city-building strategy that represents an almost extinct genre.
Dawn of Man is a top quality, challenging city-building simulator that is a must have for the fans of the genre, even though they are a rare bread these days.
