Our take on Prehistoric Tales
Rather than centering on a lone hero’s exploration, the game combines prehistoric adventure with settlement administration. Its core loop alternates between feeding and housing villagers, expanding a community, training troops, and answering mission threats from dinosaurs or invading neighbors.
What is Prehistoric Tales?
Lead a small island tribe after neighboring settlers invade.
Gather food and other resources, manage supplies to feed and house villagers, and develop a settlement in an untamed prehistoric wilderness. Build structures and grow the village into small cities while training an army to protect the population. Missions include clearing caves of dinosaurs and defending settlers from invading forces. Battles unfold step by step, with strategy focused on preparing troops and responding to threats. The story follows a stranger with no memory of life before arriving at the village, as the settlement develops under their leadership.
