Ancient Cities

After a few minutes massive FPS drops, unplayable. Temperatures are fine and latest drivers. Problem only in this game.

I really want to like this game. There are some very innovative, interesting parts about it. As annoying as it was at the start, I'm intrigued by the invisible tech tree that feels far more realistic - you discover the tech based on your skills in that particular area and you really don't know at what point each new option unlocks beyond a few items that are greyed out. The worker management system is a little unique, but fairly straightforward. That said... there are a few annoyances - It's hard to see the grid accurately at times and the weird "circle things instead of click" is...oddly unnecessary (since you CAN click as well for much better control). Lack of ability to store multiple types of items in, say, a storage building, is also frustrating. But the real killer is the speed, or rather, lack thereof and the super easy game play. I've played on both Mesolithic and Neolithic starts as well as multiple levels of difficulty.... it's just too darn easy. I spend most of the game just watching the game play itself. If you are competent in setting up your workgroups well and correctly prioritizing, it just...works. There isn't much to do. Like I said, I really like the premise and some of the unique ideas for game design, but it's too boring to stick with...

Ancient Cities is one of the most immersive prehistoric city-building and survival games I've played. The graphics are beautiful, the environments are detailed, and the game runs surprisingly smoothly. It's the kind of game where you can relax, watch your people grow, and enjoy seeing your settlement slowly evolve over time. The building mechanics are excellent and feel natural. Expanding your village is satisfying, and watching your tribe construct homes and other structures really brings the world to life. The technology progression is also one of the game's strongest features. Instead of unlocking everything quickly, you gradually discover and develop new knowledge, making each advancement feel meaningful and rewarding. What I love most is the slower pace. Rather than constantly rushing, you manage resources, adapt to the seasons, care for your tribe, and watch families grow across generations. Every decision matters, which makes your settlement feel unique and personal. One tip for new players: start your settlement near water. Having access to fishing from the beginning provides a reliable food source and makes the early game much easier. If you start too far from water, you'll likely struggle with food until your settlement is more established. Overall, Ancient Cities is a fantastic game with beautiful graphics, smooth performance, excellent building mechanics, and an amazing technology system. It's a relaxing yet rewarding experience that I keep coming back to. I can't wait to see what future updates bring and how far the developers will take the game. The potential is enormous, and I'm excited to see how much further our civilizations will be able to grow.

De longe a minha pior experiência na steam. Eu poderia comentar como os outros "É um jogo Promissor". de que? Você precisar caçar com uma lupa para encontrar seus aldeões no mapa, Interface nem vou comentar; O jogo leva "literalmente" 10 minutos de loading cada ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ vez que você clica no launch, e então... crash. Anos de desenvolvimento por uma equipe incompetente para entregar um novo no minimo jogável. Cada movimento que você faz com a câmera são milisegundos de travamento. Compre por conta e risco, o azar é todo seu. "Jogo promissor" é meu ovo. Mais de cinco anos de desenvolvimento pra entregar um pre-alfa muito merda. Gosto do tema, mas o jogo é completamente decepcionante. Segunda vez que compro - segunda vez que reembolso. Dawn of men joga esse jogo no lixo, cospe, queima e mija em cima. Esse jogo é uma profanação da história da humanidade. De longe o pior da steam.

Really love this game, the graphics are the best ever! so amazing details! thank you!

Good game, needs more time to cook, but don't let that hold you back.

Do you enjoy builder style games? Are you interested in history? This might be for you if you answered yes. It's not easy, it's not the usual builder game. Time, weather and fertility inherent to map areas affects can be a boon, or cause a need to migrate. Choosing when and where to migrate is up to you. Interesting map in relation to the time periods the game has, which is adjustable every map. From mountains to valleys, open sea coasts, to dense river valleys, great variety of plant material available, natural foods and wildlife. I have played around 150 hours as I write this. Picked it up while it was Early Access for a great price. Wasn't too sure what to expect. I have really enjoyed watching the game evolve since I purchased it, change, improve, and keep true to it's original design. Ancient Cities. Worth your coin and time.
