Prehistoric Tales

Interesting little game... for a few hours. Then it becomes a tedious micro-management grind. Once you get your village up to a good size, it takes up most of your time just clicking all over the place to gather resources. With so much clicking going on, it's hard to plan how to expand your village, think about how best to increase your army, or decide which artifacts would be most efficient to wear. The game has both achievements and trading cards. The achievements are all simple to get, and all unmissable as they pop naturally as you play. You simply have to put in the time playing. It should probably take you about 6 to 8 hours to get all the achievements, and once you have them there's really no point in playing any more. Graphics are cartoonish, but yet appealing. Background music is pleasant and relaxing. Combat is turn-based, and on a small grid. Once you get the dragon unit ([i]called "ancient snake" here[/i]), combat becomes awkward because the dragon takes up four spaces and is thus often blocked from moving by either geograpical limitations ([i]like boulders or trees[/i]) or by your other units. The game is easy and casual. It's a great time-waster to play f…

Built hut, mammon trashed roof. Set bone tower, neighbors poked it down. Now I pay egg tax to 12 cave kids.

nice game. intuitive and works well.

Fun game... but once you reach level 99 it no longer lets you win battles, so don't make the same mistake I did if you want all of the achievements ;)

Recommended. Cute graphics, low stress city building, turn based combat and a simple story keep things interesting. It does lack depth and most of city building feels shallow. It's pretty short lived too, but for the price, it's worth it if you like casual games.

Masterpiece of an emotional story, seeing my huts be built like they were on the hill. I've always been curious about the origins of our greatest financier, this helped me realise my dream.
