Ancient Cities — это простая в освоении и сложная в освоении игра-строитель города на выживание, основанная на древних временах.
Вам придется вести свой народ через поколения, открывая и совершенствуя технологии, управляя ресурсами и населением, органично строя свой город и сталкиваясь с другими племенами в полностью смоделированном мире и экосистеме.
Не торопитесь, чтобы построить свой древний город, пройдите по стопам наших предков и погрузитесь в древние времена.
В Ancient Cities вы можете играть в любое время и в любом месте европейского каменного века. От теплого Средиземноморья до холодной Скандинавии и от конца ледникового периода до конца неолита.
В каждом времени и месте у вас будут исторически точные леса, животные, здания, инструменты, ресурсы и знания каждой культуры, которыми вам придется управлять, чтобы выжить в суровые древние времена.
Ancient Cities снижает микроменеджмент за счет интеллектуальной автоматизации. Организуйте и стройте, пока ваши граждане выполняют задачи, которые лучше всего соответствуют их конкретным навыкам и знаниям.
В региональном игровом слое вы сможете торговать или атаковать соседние племена или, возможно, решить мигрировать в другое место, если ресурсов станет мало.
Это только начало, Ancient Cities разработан как постоянно совершенствующаяся платформа, которая поддерживает постоянное внедрение нового совместимого контента для исследования новых культур и мест на протяжении всей истории.

terribly inconvenient interface
+ good visuals, especially for a game in bird perspective
+ active & continuous development
+ good baseline structure with knowledge system, simulation of people, etc
+ good overworld for selection of playable area covering a historical simulation of Europe

- game struggles in performance when building larger settlements
- unintuitive user interface if you're used to playing any other game comparable in genre
I've waited for a long time to buy this game, seeing that the reviews have improved recently I've decided to give it a try.. First impression - graphics are very basic, little immersion as you don't see the people very well. It's also not clear what to do ie how to assign people to tasks. After less than half hour i just decided to play another game.. I'm a fan of the the genre so will keep the game and try it again after next update.
It's a lovely game with a lot of effort put into it. It seems to be pretty realistic and still fun to play. If it would be too realistic I would imagine it would be boring.
The graphics are really good, the people also behave in a manner that does not frustrate me when guiding them. What really makes this great is that you can pick a location in Europe yourself which makes it very personal. It also makes the game map gigantic and on the map you can build wherever you want and rotate buildings the way you want them so you are not limited to a square grid like many city builders have.
I appreciate that a lot of effort was put into the animation of people doing various tasks, Also great to see that a lot of resources look proper and the fact that each resource item is accounted for, there are a lot of city builders where resources go into a warehouse and then can be used right away. Here individual resources are individually gathered, transported and can even decay. This must have taken a lot of work to program and it makes the gameplay outstanding. Very similar with the construction of buildings, resources are carried to the construction site and the construction can be seen. It's not a "plop your house"and also not a cheap animation where a building just grows out of the ground.
The game is no longer Early Access, however it does feel like Early Access as it lack a bit of deeper content. Since there is no doubt that this game will be a success, the modding community will probably add different buildings and resources at some stage so probably no need to go deeper here. However interaction with other tribes could do a bit better, trade could be deeper, especially there could be unique resources that only some tribes have, exchange of knowledge or helping out when needed or hostile attitudes with all it's consequences.
The map also needs to be a bit more diverse in my opinion, landmarks are not there yet but also the landscape could do with a bit more with more unique features such as massive rock formations, caves or other features such as abandoned villages from other tribes or anything else that could be used as an advantage. And right now, the map is reset when you migrate somewhere and then migrate back. It would be great to find your place again, I get it that some structures like huts should get a bug decay penalty if you are away for a few years but solid structures like burial sites or stone monuments should remain along with the possibility to bury tools somewhere for later use.
Pretty good game idk why so many people giving bad reviews.
109 hours in and the game gets better and better every time i come back. The game is challenging and some mechanics of the game are not super clear, that said the game teachs you what you need to know to survive and grow and to me that experience is fun and worth checking out, but also leaves enough room for you to learn through a bit of adventure and trial and error which i really like. Good ancient culture sim. Good play loop IMO, can change up how to survive and progress every run
This game has come a long way since it's inception, it's now the definitive Neolithic experience and I can not wait for them to expand it further.
I like this game. It is slow - I'm okay with that. I don't mind the learning curve, especially with the current tutorial. I really enjoy the map time-lapse changes, music, information per citizen, and the overall aesthetics. I do wish some portraits were a bit upgraded and I do wish there were mouse-over tool tips for resources, or a way to identify gathered items and plants *before* picking them up, perhaps as a feature unlock.
Lovely, relaxing game where you guide mankind through Ancient times. Can build wonderful villages, and guide population in a sims-like fashion.
Many improvements added makes the game runs smooth enjoyable and of course fulfilling. great sims village builder it's on the horizon.
Extremely fun game, took me a little while to work it all out but now one of my faves
Hi. First of all, respect to the creators of this game. If they are only 2 programers and one graphic designer - respect. Now to the point... I can not reccomend this game yet, reasons below:
1.After I had like 25+ houses, I saw in building menu - red blured- two new buildings; longhouses. But after some minutes of playing, they were just gone from menu. No idea why. Even a new migrants didn't provide new ideas, so you can build additional buildings.
2. When you reach some age in history, new migrants start coming allongside with livestock. But those animals are reproducing in really slow manner in your village. Later on, migrants are suddenly comming without a livestock (wtf, why??), which leads to your current livestock to exting - and later on, dieing your people of starvation.
In later stages you can't just feed your people with meat only from hunting. There are just too many people and too few animals in the woods.
3. Farming is broken. The system how to keep needed crops to seed them next season simply doesn't work. You can set up a pit, so the food inside would not be eaten/processed, but you have no mean how to make your farmers put there the seeds in the first place. Example - I had two pits for wheat seeds. One to store only and to be used in next plating season, second free to use. But there is no option, how to make your ppl store seeds to the first pit and AFTER to the second (free to use) pit. This applies to all crops.
4. Straw. The need of straw is just too high. You need it to build the most of the houses and also to feed your animals. About houses - the need of straw has to be max 1/3 of current status and maitenance prolonged lol. I build roundhouse that needs 300 units of straw and only after 18 Months of game time (that is really a few) the house need to be repaired with additional 80 units of straw omg.
After you migrate, your ppl are colecting enough straw. But after some moments, they just stop. The straw from some reason just can not be found nearby of your village. This applies also to reed.
5. Food. Only realiable food is meat. All the rest is meaningless thing. Fish is impossible to catch in big numbers, no mater how many fishers you got. Bread production chains seems to be broken. No matter what I did, I never had like 20+ pieces of bread.
6. Migrating. I understand the concept of this game - you need to migrate to be able to obtain new resources (and ideas from some reason...). But it doesn't work. When you migrate, you need to build EVERYTHING again, that is still understantable. BUT - until you gather all the raw materials to build houses, then build them, the people became angry because of lacking a place where to live and they start leaving your village. That is probably the most frustrating factor for me.
7. Trade. Concept is good, but there need to be done some balance. Most of the clans around you are trading wares, that you alone have plenty (ropes for example...). From all the options what you can trade, you find maybe one another tribe that offers something usefull for you. Not to mention, that raw materials can not be traded at all. Why not?!
8. Livestock. As mentioned they reproduce too slow. You can not just find the animal in woods, lure it and domesticate, like in DoM. A player is deppendent on coming a new migrants with livestock. After 40 hours of playing I didn't get, if the herding group personnel in fact slaughter the animals when it gets old or not. Many times I saw just rotting the dead animal on the ground, without anybody harvesting its meat and bones. I needed to let kill the animas manually in menu, so I got the needed meat and bones. Oh and the last thing - why the HELL can't animals just eat grass from spring to autumn? They need to be feeded with straw all the year.
There are many more things that need to be updated in this game, but I am already too lazy to write it all down, sorry.
This game can be just brilliant, but it needs A LOT of work. Somehow it feels like some light, or web version of Dawn of Man.
it's an okay game, definitely still has some flaws. I wouldn't pay the full $30 for it. I got it on sale and still thought it was pricey for what it is.
For the Devs: the storage system is ridiculous. I should be able to store more than one item in each container, especially for the bigger storage shed. There also needs to be a way to assign villagers to job groups even if they aren't "skilled" in it. None of my villagers ever signed up for the herding group and all my animals would die every time. Last thing, if you're going to require migration, the villagers should be able to take more supplies with them in the journey.
No matter how many times I play this game over the past year, and I've restarted probably five or six times, I can never get far in this game and there isn't really any logical or in game explanation for it. Everyone in my tribe always get mad then leaves. No matter how many gatherers I set to gather everything, builders, hunters, fisherman, crafters, etc. This game just isn't fun to play and as much as I wanted it to be, it hasn't been and I don't think it will be. I hope others find a way to make it work for them.
Very cool game, I like this game, bit of a slower paced game but with alot of reward and payoff, which is what the devs are going for I think
pretty nice game with lots of potential, the updates are constant but take a bit of time, still it's a pretty good game and concept, hopefully they will get more content put into it.
I have enjoyed the gameplay this has offered me so far, the graphics rock! I would really like some detailed graphics settings in a future update. I find it challenging, which is a good thing! Migration is a fun mechanic. I am looking foward to playing this more in the future.
Its actually pretty good, a bit like The Sims if it was set 10,000 years ago and without all that annoying relationship chatter. The interface is simple and it progresses well. Just a few small things that stop it from being great. You don't have full camera control and that stops you from seeing what you want some times. The fact you have to make a new store space fro each item and you can't just bunch stuff together is a pain. Also only being able to change the craft numbers by 1 at a time does slow things down a little, but really it is cool to see the tribe grow. You can be hands on or just let them do their thing.
A game that you will love if you want hardship and survival based on realistic and correct history.
Also a game that deviates from the normal easy self-playing survival games, in this game you must actually work for the success, so not a game for the lazy or stupid.
Ignore the majority of the bad reviews, they seem terribly telling of the player lack of insight and certainly their utter lack of basic PC knowledge. Read the pc requirements and the tutorials people, it will help you a lot.
Starting in the Mesolithic timeline means slow progression, but you can play game on Fast speed mode and it goes faster for you, I liked the slow version best even tho it was harder to feed my people. I wanted to feel the hardship my ancestors went through and at same time enjoy the fabulous graphics this game provides, this game is a beauty.
For challenge play Slow speed, dont want to try hardcore yet, so far having plenty to keep an eye on in Beginner and Fast mode while learning the ins and outs of the game.
The game has regular updates, but seem to lack a bit for all player types to enjoy it fully, and I also think you need to have interest and insight into human history and archaeology to truly grasp the game as all content is based on verified research and history.
Devs and their other helpers are quick to tend to any questions and changes are being done that is needed it seems for most areas of the game.
Game still has some way to go and lacks content in some areas, but as far as I have understood from watching LadyLillys videos we have got predators incoming including other free content in the near future.
I will keep an eye on this game and its development.
Game is recommened to players who wishes to actually experience humankind in the early ages as they actually were with no fantasy.
Interesting take on city builders, worth a shot I would say. However when you get into the mechanics it needs some tweaking, for starters it needs way more migrants when your tribe is happy and particularly ones with animals and/or agricultural skills.
Excellent game; care for the environment and sometimes the environment will care for you. Sometimes not.
the only way this game actually progresses is through pure luck. New migrants are the ONLY way to change from Mesolithic to neolithic age. so you can spend 5+ hours of villagers essentially doing nothing while the area loses access to animals to hunt/ fishing areas. ridiculous progression design.
The development of this game has come such a long way! Honestly, I thought the devs might take the money and abandon it, especially with how many Kickstarter games did that back in 2017. But hats off to you all—this game is incredible. After seven years, you’ve finally convinced me to buy it! Haha.
intel graphic cards not supported, cannot play
Such potential, but i have given up (for now).
Not recommended as of now, even though i would like too!
I have decided to quit trying to create a viable settlement. I have now spent close to 70 hours on this game, and though i have had small victories in advancing through the learning curve (which is the toughest and steepest of any game i have ever played), i now feel that my enthusiasm is spent. The reason for this aren't that the game itself poses difficult challenges, which i would welcome; the reason is that the game mechanics themselves are either incredibly obscure or intricate, and in reality i end up fighting to figure out the game mechanics and not the meta:
- Like getting farmers to pick up tilling tools in sutuations where tillings tools and manpower are plentiful and the farming task are set at highest priority, with the result of unseeded fields with no good reason.
- Understanding why tools seem to dissappear and reappear at random.
- Figuring out why domesticated animals suddenly starve to death in the middle of summer, with straw widely and closely available.
- Figuring out why production values of tools and bread fluctuate wildly with seemingly stable supply of raw materials and labour
- And a number of very similar, game mechanics related issues...
After 70 hours i still haven't been able to identify a pattern to some of these basic issues, and it simply drains the fun out of it - i want the challenge to be fluctuations in seasons, crop disseases, soil depletion, trade, knowledge sharing, enemy raids, social cohesions etc; not the game itself.
This game has such an incredible potential, both in variety and replayability and the scale of expansion in the future.
It looks amazing, and every part of it is clearly lovingly researched and created to detail. I had moments of excitement, watching my small group of hunter-gatheres becoming a viable village, watching them build bigger and more impresseive houses (with stunning graphics). If the issues above could somehow be solved, and a tabled overview of production, food etc. be implemented, i believe that this game could be amazing. If the game could be optimized to not be soo very memory demanding, that would be great too.
My obsession for prehistory is satisfied with this game.
it's hard to master but terribly fun if you are interested in the subject.
I love this game! I have been following this teams progress since shortly after it was first announced and finally have a computer that is able to run it. I have not been disappointed playing. It has run super smooth and It has not crashed once. The graphics are super nice. Would recommend.
Great game, even better to see that it hasn't been forgotten about, updates still going on ect. Can be a very tough game but that's the fun in it, and no idea how far it goes, progressing is very slow at least for me but that's also the fun, slowly going through the time and generations slowly growing seeing what you can do and create.
I really want to like this game. But I just can not recommend it to anyone. So many other games on Steam to spend money on. This Game just fails right out of the gate on basics.
Crashed at start.
Haven't played this game in a while. I really enjoyed this game and look forward to testing out the updates and look forward for more to come
A very good game, nice concept, I really enjoy it. I looked at the negative comments, but they seem to be isolated problems or exaggerated. Sure things could be done better, but it's not bat at all right now. It has potential for more, but it really depends on the devs.
Personally I would have loved to have more content. More things to build. That's all.
Check back in in like 5 years when it's done, unless you exceed the recommended system requirements or just want to support the devs cause right now it takes 10 mins just to launch the game even exceeding the min requirements an putting the settings to low.
I'll keep it on my wishlist since I heard it helps the algorithm and I want this game to succeed
I like what I've seen so far. My only concern is that in one game I made it to 2026, and still haven't found metal. Is the game only pre-bronze? I have played a while now, still neolithic. Keep up the progress!
I want to like this game. I think the developers wanted to do something different than most city builders but failed in the execution. I just can't recommend this game in its current state. There's not enough content and the game is generally unfinished.
The UI isn't very intuitive and takes a while to learn, but is also poorly optimized. Many game mechanics are still lacking and supposedly planned to be implemented later (possibly through DLCs).
It's hard to review this game.
I was really looking forward to its release, and I bought it as soon as it went into early access. But what a disappointment. It was too slow, even though I have a high-end gaming machine. The mechanics were hard to understand, especially the tutorial. Everything felt very unfinished. So, I decided to wait for further development.
A year later, I checked it again. This time, it was better optimized, but the gameplay still felt rough, so I left it once more.
Now, it's 2024, and the game has improved a lot since early access. However, there’s still a lot that needs to be done:
The tutorial is basic. They explain a few things and then leave you hanging. I had to go to YouTube to understand mechanics that weren’t explained in the game. They either need a wiki or a more comprehensive tutorial.
Additionally, the mechanics aren’t great. There’s always an issue (you're running out of materials, food, or people are upset), and you don’t have enough information to know how to fix it. Sometimes, even when your tribe has everything, they're still unhappy. So, the mechanics definitely need improvement. One recommendation for the developers is: maybe (for the easy mode) don't focus into making it so real. It's frustrating to sit and gait for little stones, that would never come, or the hassle of migration through dismantelling a thousand buildings. Give us information as to where in the global map I can migrate to find wheat, or flax. Why does my hard earned 5 flax seeds dissapeared after sowing them? Make a faster, easier, and clearer version. GUI are terrible. The groups and ressources windows are like 1995 UI, you can't resize them.
I think I bought the game because of the realism shown in the trailer and the "openness of the world" — the feeling that you could do many things with natural resources and experience progress from very ancient to 100 BC times. But right now, there aren't many things you can do, and you can't progress much through time.
I understand how difficult it must be to develop such an ambitious game, especially as an indie studio, but it still needs core gameplay changes.
I really like the concept, and I hope they can further develop it.
Should you buy it? Only if you’re aware that it’s still in development and want to support a great concept with good people behind it. I personally will play it every six months or so, or after every major update, to see if it's improving, but I can't be playing often as it's a little frustrating.
I have to say I’m a little disappointed, but yes, they've made significant progress since early access, though it’s still not enough.
Good game with huge potential, just needs some fixin and patches.
I am loving this game. I bought the game pre-alfa. It was pretty basic at first but has turned into a great game. It might be too challenging for some of the reviewers on here. It tries to be historically accurate. The weather in the north can be pretty bad in some time periods and not all resources are available in all locations. If you are still hunter/gatherer, you should pack up and move at some point if your tribe gets big or you will starve out. I did have to watch some tutorials to get better. I was having problems loosing some skills in my tribes when skilled elders died, but I have got it figured out at this point.
nice
This game has had a long start, and was rough at the beginning, but NOW, it is very addictive, obviously everything can be improved, but if you love this genre of game, city building, resource and knowledge management this game is for you. It may have some steep learning curves, but it is very fun and challenging. I feel most of these naysayers, probably don't appreciate this genre of game.
Poor game brought out too early before the developers got it right it takers an age to start up with constant waits for updates and something called 'Shaders' after that the tribe do not go where you placed them, then they do not build even though they have plenty of the correct materials, the weather is stupid with constant torrential rain, the groups do not configure to the tasks they are being asked to carry out .... all in all a waste of my money ... i think the developers were trying to be clever in making the game rather ore challenging than the usual survival building game what they have done is ruin what could be a decent subject ... poor, poor, poor, i will give you one out of ten for the idea
If you enjoyed Dawn of Man and youre after a similar but more gridless builder this is one for you. Love me spears, love me round houses, nuf sed
This game is so amazing. Hopefully developers will keep improving it and incorporating new content. So much more potential to make an even greater game. I'm enjoying it a lot. Please listen to players and don't abandon this project like many other devs do.
Ok so after struggling with this for few more days I finally have it figured out. The tutorial basically is bad but if you do some reading and a little personal testing you can understand what's going on. Still some things that don't quite compute but I'm stubborn so I'll get it figured out eventually. So I changed my views of not recommending it to a thumbs up. BTW, in Rome thumbs up meant kill. Thumbs down meant don't kill. Just sayin. Going to leave my previous review here just so you know how frustrating it was so you know what to expect.
Here you have a group of people who depend on each other for their survival. They all have a job to do and you would think that because they need to do that job to survive they would actually do it. But nope. They wander. They stand around scratching their crotch. They stare off into the distance. Anything but do the job their very survival and the survival of others depend on. Does a crafter actually craft because the materials he needs to do his job are there. Nope. Got all the materials they ever need. Can't be bothered with crafting. Gotta take care of that butt itch. For hours on end. If the people who programmed this did the same thing they would never get done. Why does everyone, everyone, who makes this type of game think all people would say screw survival, I have to go contemplate the meaning of that blade of grass while we all starve.
Wait until the game is finished before you purchase. As it is right now, the game will end in one result...your people will die from starvation. You cannot remain in one area because the result is your tribe will die of starvation once the resources in the area can no longer support your growing tribe. You cannot migrate to another area because once you do, your tribe cannot do anything other than stand around and starve to death as none will do anything assigned. None will build, none will gather, none will hunt, none will craft. They just huddle in one spot and wait to die from starvation.
So, wait until the game becomes playable, THEN purchase it. For now, spend your money on games that can be played.
I had fun, it's such a chill game when you get the basics
I am grateful to the developers of this game for producing such an excellent product. I wanted to write a quick review to help support them and get the positive reviews up. I will add more in time.
yes
Only game to date that require closing ASUS's "GPU Tweak III program running..."
Hope you can fix "Game Crashed!" "Press OK to Continue" OK, Do you want to send a report to the developers?
Yes done! closed GPU Tweak III and program runs. :)
Any one know why this is a factor?
The game sucks and gliches all the time. When you open a info window or try to make groups it clips off the screen so its unplayable. When you go into window mode your mouse isn't synced and wont click. The game is virtualy unplayable and is just waiting around for knowledge to go up. I have looked at everything in the game and it is all around boring. I spent 5 hours on the game only to have 4 basic huts and 27 tribe members. The game would be so much better if the developers cared about it but they dont. So DO NOT GET THIS GAME.
