About Wood 'n Stones

Wood 'n Stones is an innovative rogue-lite survival game set in the Stone Age, where cooperation between the player and the other NPCs is the key to the final victory.

While dinosaurs and other evil creatures pose a danger to the future of humankind, you can be the leader who will allow our species to survive to the present day, thanks to the help of a great friend, a puppy, and all the people that you'll save during the journey.

You can gather Wood and Stones to help out your tribe defending yourself and them, and build campfires to protect your way better. But beware: the weather can change at any time.

Wood 'n Stones takes the basic ingredients of a survival game and reduces them to an approachable prehistoric adventure centered on keeping a small tribe alive. Developed and published by Studio Malaka, the game puts you in a dangerous Stone Age environment where collecting resources is only part of the challenge. Instead of concentrating entirely on the survival of a single character, it gives you responsibility for other members of the tribe, making protection and cooperation important parts of the overall experience. As its name suggests, wood and stone form the backbone of progression. Gathering these resources allows you to improve your chances of surviving and maintain important defensive elements such as campfires. The resource system is intentionally easy to understand, so there is little time wasted learning complicated crafting menus or enormous technology trees. You gather what you need, establish safer positions, help your companions, and remain prepared for the dangers lurking around the environment. It creates a straightforward gameplay cycle that works particularly well for short sessions. The survival element becomes more interesting because the wilderness is unpr…

Игра "Wood 'n Stones" — это настоящий бриллиант в мире инди-разработок, способный увлечь на долгие часы. Её очарование кроется в простоте, но эта простота обманчива, ведь за ней скрывается глубокая механика и продуманный геймплей. С самого начала погружаешься в атмосферу умиротворения, где главная задача — собирать ресурсы и строить свой маленький уголок в этом фэнтезийном мире. Визуальный стиль игры, выполненный в приятных, слегка приглушённых тонах, идеально дополняет эту медитативную составляющую. Однако не стоит обманываться спокойствием, ведь вскоре вам придётся столкнуться с первыми испытаниями. По мере развития вашего поселения, появятся и враги, требующие стратегического подхода к обороне. Система крафта здесь реализована очень удачно — каждый новый предмет, каждое улучшение здания дарит чувство прогресса и удовлетворения. Особенно радует возможность кастомизации, позволяющая создать действительно уникальное поселение. "Wood 'n Stones" — это идеальный выбор для тех, кто ищет неторопливую, но увлекательную игру, где можно отдохнуть душой и проявить свои инженерные таланты.

"Wood 'n Stones" is a 2D side scrolling survival/crafting game very similar to games like Kingdom or Caveman Craig (although this lacks the depth of either). You control a caveman with some NPC followers, collect wood and survive against Cretaceious period dinosaurs that didn't co-exist with cavemen, so historically accuracy is the second thing that went right out of the window here. The first thing to go out of the window was "quality". Itch has one job, and it's not a hard job, but they failed again... to keep amateur stuff in their weird hugbox where everyone claps and says "Good job!!!" at every bit of amateur drivel (which nobody actually plays) and away from gamers. Unfortunately this has leaked out onto Steam platforms and now gamers have to put up with yet another bit of poorly made amateur shovelware. The game features really lacklustre 2D visuals (does the developer not know 3D graphics became mainstream in the mid-1990s?). Gamers don't spend thousands of dollars on gaming rigs and the latest 3D graphics cards to play 2D games. Even mobile phones and game consoles can do 3D graphics now. There's no excuse. The developer chose not to do the job of a real game dev…
