I bought this tonight on PS4 and didn't stop playing for 5 hours. It's now midnight and I don't want to stop playing but gotta get up for work at 6am. Haven't had a fun game like this in a while really reminds me of command and conquer and that was one of my favorites. Can't believe it's made by such a small team it's an amazing dicking game for that.
@@IndieLad well I see (at least from what I know) you can't drag that yellow square and select multiple units, you have to hold a button that pauses everything and you pick them ones by one. But tbh I don't really know never tried it on PC 😂 all I've gotten to see far is building wooden walls and half my population dieing to starvation and disease lmfao.
I wish they would have included more Prehistoric creatures in the beginning. Megatherium, Paraceratherium, glyptodon & more creatures during the Paleolithic era. Also, a longer time to be spent in Paleolithic era. Cool Review.
"Megatherium, Paraceratherium, glyptodon" - that would be America, meaning you can't have your animals AND a post-Chalcolithic tech tree. This game is slow-moving and educational, not what-if. But an add-on or conversion could make sense (think establishing a Terra Preta-based Amazonian civilization).
Theis game looks amazing. Good choice for your first indie game review. About your review, you did a really good job. A short video, you described the game without spoiling anything and highlighted the good things and it flaws. Congrats.
Had this game a week and love it. Number one, you have to survive. I’ve ran low on food during the winter and almost starved. Had 60% of my sheep catch an infection, donkey got struck by lightning and even lost a villager or two. Always find myself trying to fine tune the village production and just when you think you have it, BAM! You lose crops to disease, you have to kill animals and your huts go unrepaired cause you have no straw. Then the raiders feel like like dropping by. Kinda like life. 😊
Love to hear it dude! I found this game while desperately searching "Games like Black and White" Another one is Universim. Haven't checked it out yet but I'm excited to, and when I do I'll be sure to make a review of it!
I noticed that it is extremely hard to maintain food and low workload. To not be completely screwed you have to move at a really really slow pace, which could be a problem when playing hard mode. The developers need to fix how difficult it is to maintain food and the ai’s are extremely dumb and it’s frustrating. I would love to see a multiplayer mode where its a massive map and you can fight, conquer, or team up with other players civilizations. I would love more flat lands too.
I've been trying to beat the Northland's on Hardcore. Managing food and workload is fine but keeping up on tech with the raiders is the tough part. Having a population of 75 and then 45 raiders come with far superior weapons. Defenses are everything are hardcore mode, walls, towers and platforms are a must and priority.
It's on the playstation store for 10 bucks so I have no choice but to get it. I can't imagine the controls being too great but who cares. I don't have a pc right now so if I have the chance to play a game like this on console I wouldn't wanna miss out
This game is a definite must have if it freezes on the Xbox just click in and out of the menu or something and it should work in a second or two very stable otherwise I suggest playing the river in the center of the map and going left until the big flat spot beside the mountain near the three streams that join together ! Lots of material and food easily accessible !
Even without the 75% off, I'd say the game is worth buying. I think I might have shot myself in the foot the first go through when I built three settlements spread out all over the place.
if anyone reads this please help, i've only just started playing this and i'm a noob. At 3:24 pause the video. i need the material 3 down from the top left, looks like a splat. i don't even know what it is or how to get it. he has 80 of it Also 3 in from the top right and one down i think is leather? how do i get it? he has 20 of it
I played for the first time yesterday afternoon and WAY later into the next morning that I should have. Its a pity they stopped development on this game. There was a lot more they could have added. (Im only up to bronze age, so could come later?) Stone buildings, berry farming, herbs, herbalists\doctors, roads. Underground mining never seemed to show anyone in the mine... but there were three slots for men which I never once saw populated, despite workload going down to the 30% mark. Assigning groups of people to a hunting party and they kill \ capture as many creatures as they can while they are out... rather than the current kill one animal and head back despite a small herd of animals being marked as hunted run right past. Otherwise a fun game that I'll be playing every now and again.
I got this game on sale at steam I always wanted to play it because it sounded interesting but I found the controls very confusing and not consumer friendly as they seem to disappear when you need them so I really wouldn’t recommend anyone buying it unless there’s a help that can help me play
I've played plenty of Dawn of Man and Banished, love them both. Banished to me was a lot easier, just proper resource management without much outside factors to throw a wrench in your flow. DoM has a lot more rogue elements with the progression through eras and raider attacks. Normal mode is pretty easy but playing on hardcore will give you a real challenge.
Seems like you can never really flourish in this game.. you plant crops here and build over there, go back and check and it’s like if your not constantly watching the area they slack off. Planted crops in two locations and only one grows or it grows if my camera is in the area. Animals vanish. You will always lose playing this game it has some bugs that needs fixed. Sad.
That would be, "aren't quite". "Quiet" is the word that means the opposite of, "loud". And then you have the word. "quit", which is what you do when you permanently leave your job. Some people seem to struggle with words like, "Quite, Quiet, Quit". And, "Their, There, They're".
What indie game do you want me to review next?
What about Craftopia? The trailer looks RANDOM so idk if is the kind of game i can enjoy to play. And after send that comment I just saw "indie"
@@ColdBeat19 Isn't craftopia indie?
Either way I've already got a bunch of notes, ready to start working on it!!
Thanks for the suggestion!
Ill take a look, thanks!!
i love watching lower known channels they always make the better and more honest reviews
Thanks man!!
Lower known? Guessing English isn’t your first language
@@thatguy6789bruh
@@thatguy6789because the world is supposed to have English as their first language right? You should get into politics man.
"It does have regular cows!"
That's a golden quote for the review section on steam
Haha "Has cows 10/10"
always my number one recommendation for anyone that asks me if I know of a good game with regular cows, really hard to find one this good.

Hows this game play on PS4? I didnt think it was an option!
Glad you loved it dude. Its a really damn good game

This is one game I always recommend anyone...bought it 3 times and have over 2,000hrs into 3 platform versions
It's soooo easy to play!! I can't wait to get back into it
"...but there are regular cows and you can pretend your cursor is a hand". Instant classic. Must buy.

As soon as you say the game black & white i am sold

Same! As a kid I put hours into Black and White 2😁💜💜
I'd kill for a bland and white 2 remake
Omg yesssss!!!!!
@@kjsmokey61909I know this is 3 years old but as a kid black and white 2 changed how I look at strategy games
Your review quality is just like IGN or Gamespot. Good job !!
Thanks dude!! That really means a lot!
@@IndieLad Are you going to take that insult from him? 😡😂
Lol sick burn
It is actually much better. No bias, no agenda, honest review.
What a great review you definetely deserved sub
Thanks man!
You literally sold this game to me, good UA-camr and new subscriber.

Yeah that would be so hard to manage! Ive only done 1 at a time so far
Great review! I just saw this on sale for $13 Canadian and wanted to know if it was worth buying. You sold me on it. Thx
entering a new era, building a temple, reminds me of the very first Age of Empires.
I appreciate your time on this bro
Thanks man!

If u like this kind of game I would recommend Banished too.
I've been eyeing that one up for a while honestly... Definitely going to pick it up!!
Thanks for the recommend!
Great review thanks keep the good work up
Thanks man, I'll keep them coming!
It’s super fun I always go back to it when I don’t feel like playing total war or KC3
First time watching, great video. I've subbed for more!
Glad you liked it bro!! More coming soon!
Wooden spears, tent...no idea what I'm doing? Is it Africa before Europe colonized some lands?
Nice review thank you!
Thanks, Dutch! Glad you liked it!
Love your review. I think anyone who likes History more like Dawn of History. I think you should definitely buy it.
great quality vid
Much appreciated, Jake!

I cant help but imagine this is something God says
Do you think its worth to buy now?
Great review, very enjoyable.
So is this more like Banished with a stone age costume, or do the stone age-ness actually come out in the feel of the game, if that makes sense?
I've played plenty of Dawn of Man and Banished, love them both. Banished to me was a lot easier, just proper resource management without much outside factors to throw a wrench in your flow.

Thanks Ry!
Great vid m'dude!
Thanks!
Did they fix children walking past a well and across the map to gather water in the winter? This broke the game for me when i played 2 yrs ago.
Lol, well it didn't happen to me so probably
Getting to the Iron Age is taking FOREVER!!!
At least the grind is fun enough!
o:09 and no idea of what you are doing . The story of my gaming life :)
0:09
I bought this game 3 days ago...I think I've slept a total of 7 hours since.....😐🤣
Haha seems about right!
It sounds like you never played a city sim empire type game. Why did you dis faster game speed?? Lol that literally what you need to do
this is what games should be
That writing reminded me of Dawn of War xD
It's Dawn of War, but 40,000 years in the past instead
StabbStream xD great one :-)

This game has big flawls but its definetly worth buying
Only 10 euro atm on the ps5 store. I might buy it. 🙈
So worth it!!
@@IndieLad 👊
Im so sorry for you that you played Black and White 2 and not Black and White 1 which is WAAAY better than 2. Condolences. :(
I played the crap outta both of them! Still waiting on lionhead to come back to life for #3
Man, reminds me of age of empire
I love the game until it's over and there's nothing left
This is just good comedy
$15.00 on steam go get it.
So worth it

LMAO @ Acts of God
The game doesnt seem to be historicly correct, alot of the buildings and weapons isnt quiet from the stone age which seem to be the main age
Stone age is just where you start, weapons and buildings improve as you progress up to the iron age
That would be, "aren't quite". "Quiet" is the word that means the opposite of, "loud". And then you have the word. "quit", which is what you do when you permanently leave your job. Some people seem to struggle with words like, "Quite, Quiet, Quit". And, "Their, There, They're".
Some people don't have English as their native tongue.. or better said, actually the majority of people don't
