About Cro Magnon

Europe, 39000 BC.

A group of people have arrived at a location suitable for a settlement. The lands are rich and fertile, but not uninhabited.

You will take command of a newly formed clan of Cro Magnon, in the final days of the Neanderthals. Your goal is survival and dominance. Initially, you will have to command your people to scavenge or hunt for food, while slowly gaining knowledge about plants and animals up to the point where you can start planting crops and herding animals.

The world is a dangerous place and you have to ensure the survival of your clan by any means possible. This may mean removing other clans, competing for limited resources in the area. It's a matter of survival, for you and for your clan. Mercy is for the rich and prosperous, for a Cro Magnon clan struggling to survive it will more often than not be counterproductive.

Starting out with a small clan, you will have to struggle to find enough food to survive, while protecting your people growing to a number sufficient to defend against - and ultimately destroy - any competition in the area, likewise struggling to survive. Your clan warriors are the key to defending against wild animals and other Cro Magnon clans, but also against aggressive Neanderthals, who are fighting a losing battle for survival of their species.

It is a cruel and brutal world. Only the cruel and brutal will survive and ultimately dominate.

This game is only for people who like that type of game and on top of that don't mind to play with a quite far from being finished game (I've tested 15/08/2018 so in Early access) Beware ! This is NOT the kind of game in which you take full control of a caracter and fight or explore directly as him, no, here you just assign roles (hunt / produce tools / reproduce / scavenge / and so on) to all the people of your tribe and they follow them more or less.... and you let time (years) pass by and wait to see how the tribe evolves. I've been fan of games like Civilization since Civ (1) so I enjoy games in which you manage the evolution of a tribe over a long period, and that's why I've bought Cro Magnon because I thought I'd love it too, but I couldn't fall in love. The idea is good, the dev is not bad at all, but I've became bored quit quickly, probably because it's frustrating (at least for me) not to really controls everything like in Civ (in fact it's rather the opposite, your control is very limited) and especialy not be able to send a warrior protect someone being murdered by a Neandertal or a wild animal even if it's not too far from the camp, or other things like that. So, unless…

It could have been better had the developers include a menu to organize the tribe and construct stuff as well as to do research. As it is, it is very frustrating and primitive.

Wow. Where to begin. Firstly, the game screenshots and trailer make the game look 100x more playable and enjoyable than it actually is. So much could have been done with this game. It has so much potential. But when basic game play actions like zoom and scroll and point and click aren't even available and you can only play the game in eagle eye mode, so much is missing from this. As it stands currently, this is not a playable game. It's a panoramic view of something which has yet to be transformed into a game. It's not even worthy of being on early access. Come on guys. At least improve some key elements of this game before charging anything for this. Interesting idea. In a VERY early development phase. Released 2 years ago... come on. This can be so much better.

I like being the caveman boi and killing the bad big chonk neanderthals. it is a fun game, but once you wipe out the small neanderthal outpost and destroy the enemy AI village, there is not much to do. you just expand and have more babies. Neanderthals will sometimes respawn and then attack you. This game is meh. If you like broken games to play when your bored, then play this. A much better game to play would be Dawn Of Man, because that game is finished. Dawn of man also takes place in early human times but alas, Dawn of man has no thoc neanderthals. I suggest this game because i am stupid, and i like to touch them neanderthals.
