On top of that, the game also supports Steam’s Workshop, which lets you play player made scenarios. Then there are challenges, which are unique scenarios that introduce different gameplay dynamics, like leading a herd for mammoths to safety or building an ancient Temple of the Sun. There’s a classic Freeplay mode, which is the equivalent of an endless mode, that offers three separate scenarios that involve distinct challenges, and it also allows you to choose from different starting locations on the map.


The game offers two different modes for you to play. Made by Madruga Works, the same studio that brought us Planetbase back in 2015, Dawn of Man tasks you with leading an ancient tribe of humans in their fight for survival, right from the early days of Paleolithic Period until the Iron Age. However, fortunately enough, Dawn of Man seems to hit the sweet spot for me. In some strategy games, I end up finding myself overwhelmed by all the things that I have to do and keep tabs on. It’s almost like when someone really enjoys eating a specific dish, or set of dishes, but they either don’t or can’t go through the trouble of cooking them. I’m not really a strategy person for the most part. The thing is, I’ve always found myself enjoying these more if I was just watching them, rather than playing them. I’ve always been fascinated by management games, no matter if they’re more focused on economics and logistics, or survival and fighting.
