- Players who want cricket presented without historical or comedic twists may not fit the game's approach.
Our take on Cricket Through the Ages
The bounce point comes at the control scheme: players expecting detailed cricket technique will find batting and throwing reduced to one button. The nine historical modes add variety, but do not replace a full sports simulation or extended campaign.
What is Cricket Through the Ages?
Cricket Through the Ages is a one-button, physics-driven game about cricket and its place in human history.
Players swing bats and throw balls across nine game modes covering multiple eras, from prehistoric beginnings to cricket’s place among the stars. The game presents cricket through deliberately comic physics rather than as a conventional sports simulation. Each mode supports solo play or competition against a friendly rival. Its control scheme centers on a single button, while the changing historical settings provide the structure for the game’s cricket-based challenges.
