How it feels

A tense and methodical struggle to guide a fledgling tribe from nomadic hunter-gatherers to settled farmers, where survival hinges on careful resource management against constant hunger and wild threats.

What players say

Players overwhelmingly describe Rise of Man as abandoned, with no updates in years and an incomplete, buggy tech tree. The core loop is called painfully repetitive, requiring constant individual orders to gather basic resources, while progress is slow and shallow.
