Sehr entspanntes Spiel mit einer coolen Story. Habe noch nie so ein Spiel gespielt bei dem man Tage überspringen kann.

I love it

It’s a fun little city builder and works great on the phone. Highly recommend

Comfortable

I am really enjoying this game. I did purchase the full version to support after playing the first world. To be honest there are some things I do not understand and I don’t know where to learn about them (for example, I can’t seem to upgrade desert tents or create buildings for different purposes as in the first world, even though my main building is upgraded to a castle, and I don’t know why). However, I am still learning the game. If there’s need to amend my review later I will, but it’s such a fun, non-stressful game I enjoy it nonetheless.

Response from developer

Thank you so much for the lovely review and for supporting Dawnfolk! ❤️ We're really happy you're enjoying the game. To unlock those upgrades, you'll need the rare Science resource, which you can earn primarily by upgrading your home or stronghold, or occasionally discover through exploration, castles, and treasure. We'd also recommend playing through the levels in the Story section, as they're a great way to learn the game's mechanics through the tutorials. If you have any questions, feel free to reach us at support@shortcircuitstudio.com. We're always happy to help. Thanks again for playing and supporting us!

まちづくり系のゲーム。
倍速があり、それを使ってサクサク進められるのもいい。
ストーリーを進めるために、ミッションをクリアしたり、周回する必要があるが、ランダムなイベントで選択肢によって起こることも変わるので飽きません。
