Über das Spiel

Ancient Cities ist ein Survival- und Strategie-Städtebau-Spiel, basierend auf der Ur- und Frühgeschichte.

Beginnend in der Mittelsteinzeit müssen Sie Ihr Volk über Generationen hinweg führen, Technologien entdecken und verbessern, Ressourcen und Bevölkerung verwalten, sich Bedrohungen anderen Stämmen und Mutter Natur selbst stellen. Und schließlich bauen Sie die fantastischste Stadt des Altertums in einer vollständig simulierten Welt und einem Ökosystem auf.

Wir lieben Technik, Strategiespiele, Geschichte, Archäologie und Städte. Natürlich träumen wir, genau wie Sie, von einem großartigen Strategie-Stadtsimulator, der es dem Spieler ermöglicht, seine Stadt im Laufe der Zeit auf glaubwürdige und immersive Weise zu entwickeln.

Wir haben uns entschieden, bei den Ursprüngen der Städte zu beginnen, im späten Mesolithikum. Neue Epochen werden neue Spielmechaniken und Funktionen einführen, die über das hinausgehen, was vorher existierte. Die Release-Version des Spiels wird mesolithische und neolithische Epochen enthalten, aber das ist nur der Anfang, weitere kompatible Inhalte werden nach der Veröffentlichung entwickelt werden.

Wir erwarten, dass Ancient Cities eine sich ständig weiterentwickelnde Plattform wird, um zukünftige Produktionen zu unterstützen, die uns mehr und mehr in die Gefilde der Geschichte führen und verschiedene Orte und Zeitalter auf der ganzen Welt erforschen: Griechenland, Rom und vielleicht in Zukunft auch das Mittelalter...

Nehmen Sie sich Zeit, um das Erlebnis AncientCities zu genießen. Treten Sie in die Fußstapfen unserer Vorfahren und tauchen Sie ein in die alten Zeiten.

Das Spiel hat - ohne Frage - Potential!

40 Euro und das was geboten wird bzw sehr selten Updates, die dann nicht wirklich den dürftigen Spielverlauf ändern, deswegen Daimen nach unten. Die KI ist derartig dämlich, du kannst den halben Stamm Balken suchen schicken oder was auch immer, auch wenn genügend vorhanden ist, es wird nicht eingesammelt.

Somit steigt der Frust nicht nur, weil die Inhalte alles andere als langfristiges Spielevergnügen schenken, sondern auch aufgrund dämlichster KI. Der Stamm ist gefühlt ständig unglücklich, nirgendwo scheint auf wieso bzw kann man auch alles ändern (rein nach Gefühl regler herumschieben, vermeintlich dürftige Besserungen für den Stamm), sie werden den Stamm trotzdem verlassen.

Early Access ist mir bewusst und deswegen hab ich mir nicht viel erwartet. Aber es kommt halt auch nicht wirklich was nach. Gefühlt sitzt da eine halbe Arbeitskraft, die keinen halben Tag irgendwie nichts weiterbekommt.
Wenn die Updates wenigstens mehr bringen Content bringen oder zumindest die unglaublich dämliche KI klüger wird, um ein bisschen mehr Immersion zu bieten - aber nichts...

Also ich glaube, dass genug Leute 40 Euro für dieses kurze und schnell an Motivation verlierende Spiel investiert haben, da kann man sich Content-Mäßig schon mehr erwarten als das, was seit einem hier und da kommt. Daher meine Kritik.

Ein bisschen mehr Immersion durch mehr Content oder komplexere Verarbeitung von Ressourcen und auf keinen Fall überlebensunfähige KI, dann wird das Spiel der Renner!

Aber Stand der Dinge verglichen an 40 Euro - nein, meine Lieben! Einfach nein.... :)

Nach einem sehr doch langwierigem Start, aufgrund höherer Herausforderungen als die Entwickler dachten, macht das Spiel seit diesem Jahr regelmäßig nun Progress.
Es schaut echt wunderschön aus, ist sehr stimmungsvoll und vermittelt echt super flair der mesolitischen Zeit (wenn man das als verwöhnter moderner Städter sagen darf^^)
Eine bisher doch recht unverbrauchte Zeitspanne im Gamingsektor:)

Status bisher:
- Wählbare Startzeitspanne von 1000 BC to ca 3500 BC (Strahl geht insgesamt bis 1000 AD aber das ist
erstmal Zukunftsmusik),
- Wählbarer Startort im Bereich heutiges Frankenreich-Deutschland- eher südlicheres
GB - Dänemark und östliche Küste Schwedens (weiter nördlich gab's wohl Probleme mit zu viel Eis^^ )
- Eigens wählbarer Stammesname
- Die location deiner Siedlung auf der globalen Karte, enstpricht tatsächlich der auf der lokalen Karte. Dein
Spot liegt an einem Fluss nahe der Küste? Zack ist genau das auch auf der lokalen Map zu sehen:)
- Die globale Karte wird immer weiter detailiert durch die Entwickler (letztens wurden weitere Flüsse
geadded zum Beispiel)
- Dann startet man in diesem Gebiet mit mit seinem 16 Menschen starken Stamm und baut seine kleine
Siedlung auf. Gebäudevariation ist derzeit auf ein paar unterschiedliche große Zelten aus Stroh/Schilf/Pelzen
begrenzt. Sowie Lagerfeuer, Zäunen/Palisaden, Lagerzonen und paar Dekoobjekte
- Nahrungsbeschaffung via verschiendener saisonaler Waldfrüchte sowie Fischen und Jagen. Lagerstätten
dazu sind auch vorhanden.
- Dein Stamm organisiert sich über Arbeitsgruppen, welche man easy erstellt und einstellen kann. Trotzdem
arbeiten die Menschen unterschiedlicher Gruppen auch beim Bau mit, sofern es in ihrerer eignen Gruppe nix
zu tun gibt:)
- Gebäude müssen gewartet werden. Dies kann man allgemein dem Stamm (also allen zuweisen) oder
einzelnen Gruppen.
- Erste religiöse Ansätze gibt es auch inform eines großen Mesolithen (großer..ja..Felsquader^^)
- Stammpolicies wie Arbeitzeiten und welcher Teil des Stammes mitarbeiten sollen (Erwachsener/Alte/Kinder)
sowie ein einfaches Stimmungsparometer gibt es auch
- Derzeit kein militärischer Content. Waffen dienen bisher lediglich der Jagd und dem Fischen
- Tag/Nachtzyklus und Jahreszeiten sind auch am Start

Fazit:
-----
Seeeehr schönes Spiel wie gesagt, entspannt wie fordernd und wird noch besser werden, umso mehr Content kommen wird.
Aber das Grundgerüst steht und, wenn es weiterhin gut ankommt, wollen die Devs zeitlich weiter voranschreiten. Vorstellungen gehen über Griechen, Römer bis hin ins Mittelalter. Mit allem, was diese Zeiten auch technologisch so mit sich bringen.
Sehr ambitioniert aber mit diesem Spiel hier, sehr schön vorstellbar :D Und alles startet ja schließlich mit Ambitionen, Wünschen und Ideen :3

Frohe Weihnachten ansonsten schon mal^^

Bewohner machen irgendwas nur nicht das was sie sollen.
Menüführung ist umständlich und unübersichtlich.
Für jede einzelne Ressource wird ein eigener Lagerplatz benötigt da man mehrere Sachen nicht an einem Ort Lager kann.
Das für zu einem unübersichtlichen Haufen an Storages die man ständig suchen muss.
Produktionsketten sind schwer einzustellen da man keine Übersicht über den Lagerbestand hat.
Schönes Spiel aber die Menüführung ein Alptraum.
Ich habe es kurz nach dem Release gekauft und hatte große Erwartungen aber es war noch sehr unausgereift.
Deshalb habe ich den Entwicklern etwas Zeit gegeben da wirklich viel Potential drinnen steckt.
Jetzt habe ich es wieder angespielt und nach 45 min wieder aufgegeben das sich nicht viel verändert hat.

Schade,vielleicht in 1 Jahr der nächste versuch!

Ich finde dieses Spiel für die Anfänge schon gut was Grafik betrifft. Wenn andere es noch komisch finden mit der Grafik und
dem aktuellen Gameplay, bedenkt das Spiel ist noch in den Kinderschuhen. Und ihr wisst ja Kinder wachsen und gedeihen.
Die Macher arbeiten mit gesundem Fleiß an Verbesserungen und ich kann es kaum erwarten, wenn es fertig ist. Schon jetzt
hat es einige gute Punkte wie das Zusammenleben der Bewohner, die Gestaltung der Natur und die Erwartung, dass immer
neue Updates kommen. Ich hoffe das weitere Spieler die Aufbau- Spiele wie Dawn of Man mögen, auch an diesem Spiel irgendwann Freude haben, weil das Spiel hat Potenzial.

Das Spiel ist totale Zeitverschwendung. Ich habe das Spiel vor Jahren für 50 Euro unterstützt. was hier geboten wird ist bei weitem nicht 50 Euro wert. Sehr sehr schade, da das Spiel eigentlich toll aussieht. Inhaltlich fehlt da einiges. Auch das fummelige und unübersichtliche Inventar und Baumenü hilft nicht besonders den Spielspass aufrecht zu halten. Ich hoffe sehr die Entwickler bringen einen Mega Patch.

Ich muss hier mal eine Lanze für dieses Spiel brechen.
Ich finde nämlich, die Rezensionen sind echt unangemessen.

Ich schätze, ich verstehe den Hintergrund für die negativen Kommentare. Die Gameplaymechaniken sind tatsächlich etwas frickelig, die Menüs kontraintuitiv und was ich an spielmechanischen Möglichkeiten gesehen habe, ist begrenzt.

Aber die Entwickler stecken so viel Arbeit in Recherche, dass es fast mehr wie eine Simulation ist, die einen in die Vergangenheit zieht. Alles, was das Spiel macht, macht es hervorragend. Die Musik ist atmosphätisch (wobei ich schade finde, dass im Spielablauf meistens nur die selben eintönigen Percussions zu hören sind. Dabei hat das Spiel so wunderbare Stücke). Die Landschaften sind wunderschön, endlich mal ein Karten mit glaubhaftem Höhenprofil; es macht Freude, den Stammesmitgliedern zuzuschauen, und wenn sich dann die Strohhütten aneinander drängen und Nachts von den Feuerstellen beleuchtet werden, kommen heimelige Gefühle auf.

Die Entwicklung zieht sich nun schon einige Zeit, aber ich habe das Gefühl, hier dem Entstehen eines Meisterwerks zuzuschauen und so ist das halt bei einem kleinen Studio mit so abitionierten Zielen.
Ich würde mir wünschen, dass diese hervorragende Arbeit mehr gewertschätzt würde, statt zur Affektentladung irgendeiner enttäuschten Erwartung hier Negativrezensionen zu schreiben, die überhaupt keine sachliche Befassung und Abwägung beinhalten.
Ich kann mir nämlich vorstellen, dass es echt entmutigend und demotivierend ist, für so tolle Arbeit so abgewatscht zu werden.

Wie schon viele geschrieben haben, ein gutes Spiel in sehr frühem Stadium (auch für Alpha).
Daher viel zu Teuer, man kann noch viel zu wenig machen, hat noch zu wenige Rohstoffe usw.

Ich werde die Entwicklung verfolgen und mir das Spiel später noch einmal kaufen, da es sehr gut ist, aber wie erwähnt noch lange nicht abgeschlossen.

Getestet und von den Möglichkeiten die man hat eher begrenzt, man kann zwar Speere etc herstellen, diese sind aber nur fürs Fischen. Es gibt zwar Wildschweine diese kann man aber nicht jagen. Überhaupt erfolgt das Craften sehr komisch ich habe alle Ressourcen und die craften schon 2 Tage an einer Axt.

Grafisch sieht es zwar Top aus und auch die Spielidee ist echt klasse und das Spie könnte sehr gut sein, wenn es fertig ist, aber jetzt finde ich, ist es eher eine Demoversion von den Anfängen. Von einen Early access Spiel für 40€ erwarte ich eigentlich eine fast fertige Version.

Beautiful graphic, nice ideas, but does not offer enough content. Pretty much finished after 1 hour and no more things to do.
Besides the minor UI or gameplay problems the price is just not reasonable in regards to the content and my expectations are not fullfilled, not even close. Very sad. The game has been in development for so long.

Ok,das Spiel ist im Moment wirklich nur eine recht teure,kurze Demo hat aber trotzdem Potential.Wer sich also nun beschwert oder beschweren will ---> Alpha Version 0.6 Was erwarten manche eigentlich bei einem solchen Release? AAA+?
Nun zum Spiel selbst : Siedeln auf einer Nordwest-Europa Karte Irland,Britische Inseln,Frankreich,Teile von Deutschland,Dänemark + Doggerland (vielleicht irgendwann Erweiterung für Afrika und den nahen Osten?)
Zeitpunkt 10.000 BC bis 3.500 BC ( vielleicht später Option 3.500 BC bis 1000 AD?)
Ziel : Überleben

Was noch fehlt? Jagd,Forschung,Religion usw. (Soll aber lt. Entwicklerteam in Arbeit sein)
Im Moment vorhanden : ein wenig Siedeln/Sammeln/Bauen

Meine Bitte an die Entwickler :
Baut nicht zuviel auf einmal,Work in Progress auf zeitnah fertigstellbare Features beschränken,alles andere vielleicht erstmal als Deko einbauen

Fazit : Wer das Spiel unterstützen will ---> Zugreifen und Abwarten
Wer jetzt unzufrieden ist ---> erstmal Kommentare durchlesen und dann abwarten und später entscheiden

Not recommended...YET. The visuals are beautiful but playability and game mechanics still on baby stage. Would like to see hunting developed (tactics, hunt birds) introduction of farming, animal domestication including chicken/fish nurseries and small trade, differences in playing the 2 different eras already offered, ability to divide tribe and settle in different locations in the world map but take control of the different settlements, warfare, conquer and or assimilate/enslave other tribes, tech tree, etc... Would like to know if the developers have any of this in mind?

I was able to build everything available in the game, huts, storage, production builds, decoration and fencing to engulf the entire settlement, in under 4 hours. Nothing else to do except move to a new location, which means starting over with a little more resources. I can't recommend a $50 game for about 4 to 5 hours of game play. Will check back in another year or so once more updates are released.

Like many, I was very enthusiastic about this title. For years. YEARS. I'm declining to recommend it not because it is a bad game. I'm declining to recommend it because it is not a game at all. The mechanics are broken, There is no progression. If you have played this title an hour you have seen everything it has to offer. By reading the Devs posts you'd think there was more to it. But no. Just another alpha game where the Devs lost interest or lack the competency to actually deliver a finished product. It is a pretty game, with potential. Though I highly doubt the unrealized potential will ever be delivered.

This has the potential to be great game. Though it did feel like the devs over promised what would be included at release and in all honesty there isn't that much to the game yet, Only being on version 0.2.8 it shows some real promise. I am hoping for something huge when 0.3 comes out. Do I recommend it, eh. If I could do it all over again I'd honestly wait to until 0.3-0.4 before purchasing and go from there

I wanted to like the game, but it was kinda false advertisement when i firts saw its screenshots and what it was promising to be. There were stone buildings to see and a city evolving into an empire. reality is, its just stick and stones, gatherer and hunter. you want to survive you have to migrate till the end of days, no research, no farming, nothing that could back up building a city that grows over time.
the roadmap doesnt give much hope that there will be much content that will give you the opportunity to atleast build somewhat of a city. i change my review if the game should change and add a reasonable amount of content. nice idead but not in a shape of calling it a game thats worht 40€

game has potential to be one of the best survival/builder if the devs play their cards right. that being said I dont recommend getting thhis game for these reasons:
-I cant zoom out far enough to see the area for resources
-you give commands to your characters but they just stand around and ignore your commands
- you run out food quickly even if if you have all your characters fishing or gathering food
-crashes do not know why
-you have all resources to build but for some reason it takes the tribe ages to build a house or hut.
It gets frustrating after a while and you just stop playing.

The beginnings of a truly awesome game. I've imagined a game like this for decades and now finally someone is building it. Currently only supporting the mesolithic era, but hopefully we'll soon be able to transition into the neolithic era. And then eventually - other eras that follow chronologically, as a gradual transition.

Great idea, beautiful graphics. A lot more coming and I cannot wait. Highly recommended.

Really sad to have to write a bad review, but also really sad how deceptive this game has been. I was so excited about what would be in my view the game I'd been waiting for all my life. Now I just feel bitter about how absolutely underwhelming it is.

I backed it on Kickstarter YEARS ago for full price and the trailers and blurbs looked totally awesome. However I notice that a lot of the ambitious screenshots showing vast cities that develop over time, have been removed. There is just nothing to do. The last few updates have proudly announced 'dismantle buildings', like, yay? A couple of new animals, and FINALLY people can actually have babies. Devs are tetchy despite many valid concerns. It's also massive for what little content it has and fries my otherwise high-end rig. So, SO disappointing.

If it somehow magically becomes playable (which I highly doubt as the devs have said it'll be finished in 2022 - what?) then I'll change my review. In the meantime - this game should either be like 10 quid, be renamed 'buggy campfire simulator', or the devs should just be more honest that they've bitten off way more that they can chew and call it a day. Don't even care I'll never get my money back. Perhaps the next game from this studio will demonstrate some lessons learned.

I've played one game (the Christmas release) for a total of 13 hours. This is what I've seen:

*The game takes forever to load (the shaders?) on my I7 PC with 32 G of Ram. Even after the first time.
*The descriptions inside the game are poor or misleading. It would help tremendously to know which plants and animals are seasonal and which seasons are relevant. The well does nothing but the mill has an included animation-- people do something with it-- but what?
*Disappointed that the storehouse can hold just one type of object. Makes it feel useless.
*I do not understand the point of including a nighttime in each 24 hour period. I fast-forwarded all the nights and I imagine all other players do the same. The only word I have on that is--get ready-- tedium, boredom.
*At this point (I understand early access), the name Ancient CITIES seems odd given that I built three straw buildings and didn't see how the mechanics of building those buildings could be expanded to create anything like a city.
*The people are all hunter-gatherers, there's no agriculture, or hint that there would be agriculture.
*It's admirable that the graphics are so good, the people so well delineated.
*FYI, My game lasted 15 game months (and I got a score -- 800+). Everybody died just as summer was starting. I began to think what I would do different the next time.
But I think I'll wait to see what subsequent releases include. I want it to be fun to play (and I agree that learning something is one of the great pleasures in life), but maybe I'm looking for something different

I've been supporting Ancient Cities for years, and even though I've had my doubts, the developers have always kept their word, and worked hard to make this game all that we dream it would be. It's not at all finished, of course, and a lot of functions are still missing. But the foundation is there, and it's solid. Now it's just a question of tweaking things, and adding stuff... it's a long way from the mesolithic to the bronze age! The developers are active in the forums, and keen on implementing suggestions from us players, so I really look forward to seeing the game progress.

Have played the game for some hours now. The struggle is real when you are trying your best to find out how the game works. But there is way to little to do. Your goal is to establish a functional society, but as soon as you have achieved that there is not really anything else to do.

Would not recommend, not worth 40€, needs to be more in the game.

So, I think I have enough time to comment on this now. As a disclaimer, I never backed the game but saw it a year ago, read all the stories about the time it's taking, that the game was empty, the devs not being capable of this challenge and even that it was a scam. I put it off for these reasons, wanting to be sure I wasn't wasting what is a lot of money for EA, but I do not think this is a scam any more, no. I think the devs have wasted time building a custom game engine and may have overfaced themselves, yes, but the level of detail and the continued work on the game to me shows this is a passion project that they will continue, if slowly.

I have chosen to recommend, not for the current gameplay, because there is very little, but because I do think it is heading in the right direction and is one to watch. You must be aware that the purchase of this game is an investment, not the purchase of a finished product. The game is playable, with few bugs I've found and nothing game-breaking, but I suspect most people will get bored quickly as it currently is, as it's more of a fancy demo than anything.

Good:
Attention to detail is very good
Historically accurate
Slow but steady updates
Decent AI
Graphics are beautiful
Becoming a good base for the intended later features
UI is improving
Devs seem to be passionate about the project

Bad:
Game is very overdue and updates are slow
UI still isn't the best
Expensive
Devs are inexperienced and tackling an ambitious project, which has led to delays and worries over whether they'll be able to finish
Seems to be highly divisive to the point finding an objective opinion is difficult; be careful with depending on others' reviews

I cannot comment on dev responses to individuals as I have not been part of discussions yet.

Ultimately, I advise anyone considering whether to invest watches some gameplay videos (from within the last few months), check the twitter page, the roadmap and more than anything, consider whether you think this project is going the direction you want, and whether you are willing to trust your money that the devs will deliver it. If you buy this game expecting a finished game, or even a half finished game, you will be disappointed.

Not worth the money at all, f&*k No! I took a gamble when I paid the price for this, and I'm seriously dissapointed, just a cheap shit money grab. Concept of the game is good and so are the graphics, asides that there's nothing to this game sadly. The resource gathering is seriously over complicated and essentially all you can do in the ENTIRE game is build a few huts and a fireplace, that's the whole game for you right there, boring ASF. No opposing teams or tribes to battle or conquer. Sad waste of money sorry, I wouldn't be complaining as much if the game were 1/2 the price, cause that's all it's worth at the very most.

The game is lacking in content as for now. But the future looks very promising, the animations and the polishing is very good and really gets you inmerged in your tribe. The game has the potential to become one of the best historical city/town builders, in par due too her focus on realism and detail.

I really hope the developer gets the love they need to carry on.

This game looks promising. It would be nice if when you first settle you are not locked into a region and can move beyond that region into other regions. It would also be nice if your tribe folks did things much quicker. At the moment it takes me three days to produce tools for people to start skinning and hunting. Old folks should have a role too. I think that just having them do nothing or just producing tools is not the best use for them. What about teaching the young ones. Or when you come to add rituals and religion became religious leaders. give the elders a new profession. I would also like to add that the females need to be sorted out because they are always unhappy and leave whilst the children born don't seem to live to adulthood. So a far amount of work to still be done but is worth buying and supporting.

So I backed this game several years ago when I first heard about it. It has the potential to be everything I want in a game. The only reason I am making this a thumbs up instead of the thumbs down is because of how active the devs are with the community. They are actually listening to our feedback and working towards implementing features that are suggested and widely accepted throughout the community of involved players who test the game.
Is the game currently at this stage worth its price... obviously not. And rarely would I ever suggest paying full price for an EA indie game. However, this is one where I consider it worth it due to the developers passion to interact with the community. I play this game today and see things we discussed in forums a while back. Development was slow at first, but we now have a solid foundation for what I expect to be an ever growing game that I cannot wait to see where it is out of early access.
It is expensive for an EA game. But the developers actually deserve to have people supporting this game. Which is honestly insanely rare with games still in development today. So good on them for that.

OK everybody, calm down. This game has the potential to be a BIG hit, the negative reviews I have read range from a lack of understanding in how the interface works to disappointment that 'Early Release' did not translate to 'Fully Polished and Fleshed Out'. The price you are paying is an investment more than a purchase, this is the whole point of an 'Early Release' title.
I have played for over 36 hrs and have found it to be enjoyable and challenging with realistic mechanics, you play the role of a type of influence/inspiration for the villagers rather than a lord who must be obeyed immediately. For example, if you give the job of fishing to a 10 year old, then they make take several days to get the hang of it (plan ahead). Alternatively, if you order your group to say...harvest fibre, they will do it, even if it overrides the current work task for the group, and they will complete the ordered task before returning to the selected(current) work task.
Also, don't expect a child to be enthusiastic about work, they may find it more enjoyable to throw rocks in the river(slackers!). I have not experienced any game breaking bugs, a few minor issues but nothing that you cannot correct/compensate for at its current build state.
I love where this game is going, if you love an in-depth challenge akin to say...'Ostriv' then you will also love this game. I recommend this game now for what it will be in the future. I doft my cap to Uncasual Games, keep up the tremendous work fam.

This game is a waste of fifty dollars. Its been over two years and this is what they came up with? This company is the laziest company ever!
Steam needs to protect their customers from preditors like this. I'm pretty sure whoever started this game spent all the kick starter money and then decided to work on the project just enough to launch a fifty dollar early acsess that isn't a fraction of what they promised. Also if you offer any reviews on twitter confronting them about this or even suggestions. They block you!!! Its a pretty game, but hurry the hell up! My suggestion is dont buy it! Warning these folks are conartists! I've never made a bad review! This is a first! Puke!!

This game is very early access, too early for the very high price for me. I buy a lot of early access games. This one there is not much to do, and what there is to do is not documented very well at all. Undocumented doesn't mean hardcore, it means not fun, particularly once you build everything there is to build in one hour and there is nothing else in the game.
Having said that if they keep developing this it will be a really good game in a year or two - i will check back then and buy it.
Don't recommend to buy at this extremely expensive price, at this stage in development.

Yes, I recommend, because it has so much potential, BUT very hard to play right now. No control over how they gather resources. I need straw and reed to build the huts or they get all pissy, but all they do is collect rocks. I turned down the priority on collecting rocks, but still, more rocks. Enough rocks already. The hunting/fishing seems to work fine, but it would be cool if you can target animals and go out on individual hunts. 6hrs in and I'll play longer, but as of now, not a very dynamic game.

My review/points do not include any historical bias (You will see lots of folks upset who backed this game years ago, etc., I am only commenting on the situation right now)

Is the game slowly getting better over time? YES
Is it limited (Content wise) yet fun to play? YES
Is it too expensive for $50USD for what is currently offered? YES
Is the game actively being developed? YES (as fast as 3 humans can)

Hunting Update adds another layer and polishes a few more systems. I of course wish the developers could work faster only because they have a beautiful game in progress and selfishly I want to play it more and more with additional systems in place.

Hello, I have played for 11 hours and I enjoy the game. but wish things would change a little. I would like to hover over plant and it tell me what it is. I would like to have an easier way of telling how the people feel and what they are thinking. I would also like to have a way of telling my person to build something a lot of time they seem to stand around and not build. Other then this a game in fine and I know things will change as the game develops

I am very excited by the potential I see in the early access version of the game. I will definitely play more once the game is finished. I understand people's comments about the high price point for an unfinished game. However, I have noticed that some of the reviews might be a bit unfair. The game might not be finished, but I definitely recommend it (and am excited for the full release).

I like what this game is so far. It is early access so it is slightly bare right now. I think the price is a but high for what it is right now. However that being said it is expected to have more additions and more development so I think the price will eventually be fair. I bought this game understanding that it will be bare right now due to the current state of development. Ive had fun with what the game has to offer and im very excited to see how it develops. The development road map has all their goals on it and id recommend checking that out before committing to buying it to see if its something youd like to play later on. As of now i see the price as supporting the games future and the games future excites me, as i mentioned.


TLDR: if you dont like to wait for things id just put this game on your wish list for now. If youre ok buying a game and coming back to it later and playing as it updates and develops then this game might be for you. Theres always the option to refund the game if you truly dont like it so you can also keep that in mind as you make your decision.

Been waiting for this game for two years and even though I followed them on a couple of places I still missed the release, not that it mattered. This game is so far from finished that it is ridiculous. I thought they were further than they are now two years ago when I saw the promos.
Heck you can't even play the actual game yet, because the citizenz and/or the game bug out long before you get anywhere. A handful of primitive fishermen/women fish a major river dry in a few months, grass don't regrow, neither does trees or anything else you might need to sutain your people, so expect to stave at the end of year one or, if you're lucky and get a site with mushrooms you might get into year two.
At the rate this game is developing I've lost any hope of it getting done. Why is it worse than the promo was two years ago? I know the promo was a bit of movie magic, but it showed you had the ideas and the textures and the models, even a one man show should have been able to tie up the ends in two years.

I watched this game for a long time, and saw a lot of negative reviews when it was finally released, but I decided to give it a go anyway. Since we get cheap games in Brazil (one advantage of being in the third world, I guess!), I paid about EUR 14, which I think is a fair price for an EA game. But I've seen that people are paying EUR 50 or AUS 70, and that's just crazy. I've heard this described as a tech demo rather than a game, and at present I think that's accurate. Since I'm a pretty slow player who prefers not to read guides, I've played for 8 hours, and there's isn't anything else for me to do. I mean, I suppose I could wait for several hours for my tribe to collect enough stone to build the temple, but I don't think I'll bother.

Pros:

1) The graphics are very good, and the world looks very nice.

2) The ability to choose your difficulty according to the start year is cool.

3) There is an enormous amount of potential here, both for the development itself and for the modding. This could be an excellent game if the developers stick with it and there are people interested in modding.

Cons:

1) The game is plagued by poor design decisions. Deciding to create their own engine, which I guess is mostly to blame for the lack of content, is the big one. But it also applies to things like including a set of defence buildings when there is nothing to defend against instead of padding out the economy.

2) The UI is awful. You often have to click several times to get to the screen you want. There is not enough information: for example, I received a message saying that one of my women gave birth, but no new child appeared among the tribe. Was it a stillbirth? A bug? Will the child appear later once it is old enough to walk? Who knows! The tooltips are rubbish. The English in the game also leaves a lot to be desired. Hire a proofreader!

3) It can be hard to get people to do things. In Dawn of Man, which didn't have the greatest AI, it was at least possible to direct an individual to pick something up. In Ancient Cities this can be very complicated. I selected some bone next to my camp to be picked up about an hour ago. It's still there! Everyone has better things to do, it seems. It is also impossible for my tribe to remove even fairly minor obstacles near my camp.

4) There is a severe lack of content. To release a game set in the Mesolithic without animals and hunting, with maybe 12 buildings that actually do something, is pretty poor. Likewise there are few resources to manage and work with, and few tools which serve even fewer purposes! The economy is so simple as to be almost non-existent. Hopefully things will become more interesting once hunting is implemented. I note, however, that the game is supposed to include the Neolithic era, but there is no mention of agriculture on the vague roadmap that the developers published recently, which doesn't exactly inspire confidence.

5) I have a pretty good PC, SSD drive, etc. and loading times are slow, especially when compared to titles with about 100x the content. What takes so long? There is certainly a lot of room for optimization, but then I guess that more time spent optimizing is less time spent creating content.

6) The price. Come on, guys! A game that provides eight hours gameplay for the most patient players and much less for people who speed up time, etc. that costs EUR 50. You can see why people are not happy. And the problem is that a game like this relies on a strong community to keep it alive. Look at Banished, released in 2014 and people are still making all kinds of content for it. The Ancient Cities forums are already deserted and very few mods are available. Not a good sign for building a community.

Overall I'd say that the game has potential, but the developers have a lot of work to do to fulfil it and to rebuild trust with players after a very disappointing release. The game is not worth buying at present (unless you are in Brazil, and even then I'd think twice), but hopefully this will change once more content is released. The developers have big plans for the next two years. Let's see what happens. I hope we are not disappointed again.

Do not spend $70 on a game that is so incredibly far from completion. At least 1/3rd of the available structures are non-functional. It is pretty and has potential but is so far from being finished, you are being asked to pay full price for a concept rather than a game.

It's not a game yet, it's just a tech demo to keep the backers happy. There's fuck-all to do at the moment.

The the only thing I hope that this will some day turn into an actual game, but I seriously doubt it... I'm glad I got the cheapest backing option. It's developers like this (and Soulbound Studios that failed to create Chronicles of Elyria) that are really putting some serious question marks on the entire Kickstarter backing thing that's going on.

The game's UI is horrendous. The AI that controls your people works like shit, the game looks horrible at best and it runs like crap too. But that can all change like we've seen with many games before, so I haven't completely given up hope just yet.

At the moment it's scoring a 4 out of 10, but it might turn into an 7 or 8.. who knows, time will tell.

so lemme get this straight, im not sure to give this a thumbs up or down in the slightest.

So ill give this sort of a neutral thumbs up for what it is.

A lot of people seem to give this a unfair shot, it not having enough content, and not being flushed out but again, we as a people on the steam platform are very very unpatient.

i played this game rougly 1 whole year in game, that translates to roughly 5 hours gameplay.

In that timeframe i ccontructed several storage units, to contain the several foodstuffs and the raw materials the game has to offer.

Also a couple of huts to maintain, the peoples needs which are few.

things you need to know before you make a move on purchasing
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pro's

#1: this game is going the right way with historicaly acurate historical depiction of humans back in the meso period.

#2: this game has a very good framework for future modding allowing people to go pretty wild on it eventualy, expect rimworld levels of moddding, if the community wants to commit.

#3: couple of hours worth of fun and for now limited but enough assets to make a cute little village and i also did not run into any bugs that where stated previously in the comments section.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
CONS !!! (whooo spooky)

#1: the game is a bare bones framework, cute little village is the best your going to achieve.

#2: in the time i was playing, i did not see childbirth, religion of anykind(you can make one monolith that does nothing),hunting, advanced or any research beyond whats currently available.

#3: very little actual gameplay atm, as stated previously.

#4: very high sale price at 39,99 Euro's (use a converter for dollars i was lazy)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary

As far as im conserned, the game is advertised and sold at way to high a price for what you can currently do in the game, if you out of pocket and look for a quick fix for that creative itch, this ain't it chief.

this game does have a good premise of becoming somthing good in the future.

Keep an eye on this one follow it of your not certain and lets hope it does not join the pile of abandonware on the steam graveyard.

Greetings from me Blastmetal,
i hope i informed you to a degree.

shop smart and shop with your rational brain, and have a nice day.

I had such high hopes when I backed this years ago, but have been frustrated by the lack of any meaningful development of the game. The developer(s) are way over their heads and have significantly over-committed their capabilities. Unless they hire some experienced folks this game will never get out of EA.

I do not recommend you purchase this game.

The game is in it's infancy, but the bones are there. The look and feel of the tribe is great. Love the body paint and dancing around the fire at night. As soon as hunting and warfare are added, this game will begin to surpass DoM in my opinion. If you fork out the cash now, you'll be finished with the game in a matter of hours.
In a few months there will be a lot more to do.

Little on the expensive side for something this far early in early access, right now I'd say it would be better off at around 19.99 instead of 49.99, given the current price I was expecting a more so finished game but it's so visually appealing thus far and the core needed things are there. I have to say in the current version at least put in an offmap hunting so you can get the pelts and bone. Thus far, not bad guys looking forward to updates. Maybe bring the price down to say $34.99 to make up for the lack of animals and hunting for now and bring it back to $50 after the update that brings those in.

This is the easily the most money I have ever spent on an Early Access game. Its also easily one of the worst early access games I have ever played. Not just bad for $50. It would be bad for $20. It's probably worth about $12 right now and only worth buying on sale for $10.

The game is poorly optimized even for an early game. Graphics are only mediocre yet my 3090 is screaming.

Nothing do even do in the game. No animals to hunt. Nothing to kill you but the weather... which is mostly non-existent.

15 minutes in the game hard crashed. But thats fine I did all there is to do in that time anyways.

I'll come back to it next year and see where its at.

Anyone who gives this game anything but a thumbs down has either not followed the development or was bought.
This is just a big scam; they didn’t develop anything the last 3 years and now they want to cash in a last time by releasing the state of the game they already used for the screenshots 3 years ago.

If you are really into accurate simulations of ancient history this game might be for you.

However as a GAME it is pretty much unplayable due to a terrible UI, lack of obvious gameplay, obscured or confusing game mechanics and some strange behaviour and crashes. It certainly isn't fun at this point.

If you are looking for a fun city builder with an ancient theme. Do not buy this game !! (YET)

It certainly has potential and the developers have put a lot of time and effort into re-inventing the wheel (building their own game engine) and implementing the underlying simulations which the game does reasonably well.

If it had a complete UI/UX rework and more intuitive gameplay mechanics it might be worth playing. But in its current state, don't bother.

I hate to say this but...Its bad. I backed this game years ago. And its coming out now, years late, with features missing that were supposedly *in the build that was ready* at time of kickstarter. If they manage to actually make a halfway-decent value for the backers, let alone new buyers (at mark up!) i might consider changing this review.

Right now, as the game is do not buy. It is little more then a demo, over half of the building you can build don't do anything. The three year old trailer made a lot of promises but the current build is very lack luster. There is nothing here.

If or when they add, families, wild animals, and a tech tree for game progress, the game right now is barely even a demo.

The game is very limited at the moment.

I supported this game through Kickstarter and have only really kept a vague eye on it, so I have not been following it in depth. The game at the moment has the building blocks of the game promised in the kickstarter campaign, however, I could not recommend people purchasing it as a game right now. If you are interested in helping it's development which I hope will flesh out the game a bit more, then maybe, but after about an hour or two you'll have done everything in the game currently (not a large number of buildings to build, no animals to hunt etc). So, yeah, buy if you want to help the development, but certainly limit your expectations at this point.

This is rather disappointing. $50 is way to much for this game. It is similar to the Dawn of Man. Maybe better graphics, but rather slow.

At its current state and 3 years of development, plus about 2 years of silence on details of the game. I have come to realize why they haven't said much in the last 2 years. THERE'S NOTHING HERE! This is more like a kick starter demo than a game at the moment

A kickstarter demo for $50? Comon this pricing reminds me of the overpriced failed early access game Starforge.
(Thankful I never bought StarForge)

My advise wait at least 6 months to a year and check back on it then. The idea and the foundation of this game is great! However its just a foundation right now with no stick framing yet. :(

It's rare for me to write reviews but this game is not in a start where it is at all playable or should be sold on Steam. It's tragic because it has potential but I can't see further development of this game if they are currently selling you this version. seems more like way for the Devs to make a few bucks selling you an unplayable game. Also, along with water and sometimes trees not rendering when I finally get into a playable location and give it a chance the game fails to properly hold my saved files and I am left with nothing but bitter disapointment and no refund available do to playing for over 2 hours.
