Looking for a survival strategy sim set 12,000 years ago? Well, publisher and developer Madruga Works will release Dawn of Man Q4 2018 for PC via Steam Early Access. The game in question is said to be a spiritual successor to Madruga Works’ previous title Planetbase.

In Dawn of Man, you will start off controlling a small band of hunters and evolve them “until the dawn of history.” Challenges such as food, resources, wild animals, and weather will be many things you will need to overcome to help your small tribe grow.

Whether you are defending your tribe from egregious attacks or building them up to withstand the test of time, Dawn of Man aims to engulf you in a prehistory time.

Furthermore, you can learn more about Dawn of Man by reading the official description or by watching the announcement trailer right here.

“Command a settlement of ancient humans, guide them through the ages in their struggle for survival. Hunt, gather, craft tools, fight, research new techs and face the challenges the environment will throw at you.”

Looking over to gameplay mechanics, it is said that you will be able to micromanage your tribe in detail as an optional route or you can plan an overall structure for your tribe/settlement.

In addition to gameplay mechanics, you will be able to research new tech, and other things to take your tribe from the Paleolithic up to the Iron Age.

According to Madruga Works, Dawn of Man will be quite longer than their previous work, Planetbase, while being twice the size of it, too. Depending on how Dawn of Man pans out, you could be in for a real sour or sweet ride.
