  A game for those who enjoy grinding and farming, Aurora Dusk is all about creating your Avatar and then leveling up dozens of skills in any order you want! Choose from over a hundred pieces of equipment you can craft and build the Avatar you want! Very much a sandbox game, you can choose from various game modes and your Avatar can be used across all of them - keeping all your skills and levels. From Necromancy to Baking to Golem-building, you'll have no shortage skills to level up and advance!

  A pure sandbox game allowing you to create your own avatar and use him again and again into whichever map you want with how many foes or allies you need. Lots of items to craft, all with their own use. Same with the skills, some are situationnal and some are must have. And you're not limited because the avatar is persistent and can master everything in the long run, allowing you to tackle harder difficulties. The creator keep on improving and tweaking the game and is responsive when a bug arise. The game is completly playable with a campaign ( with 6 difficulties ), a survival mode ( you get a little time to prepare before the hordes appear in any number and waves you want ) and a skirmish mode ( with up to 7 IA controlled lairs or villages ). As a con the game is repetitive and the difficulty in the campaign is just HUGE numbers of ennemies per waves ( even on the second difficulty you will get over 500 mobs on the lvl 18 or 19 map by the last wave ). And the only difficulty here would be to craft the right items to destroy the fastest mobs then take a HUGE amount of time to finish off the 400 or so useless zombies unable to kill you unless you fall asleep on the keyboard. The IA of the villagers with you is ... lacking. They struggle to be anything else but some useless diversions littering the map most of the time. Then suddenly they awake and start to mass construct towers and golems and to spam the hordes with spells. Weird, would love them to be more consistent when fighting. But despite that the game keep on improving and we can hope for some more control over them and maybe even some multiplayer in the future.

  AMAZING RPG!! the skill and character creation/development system is one of the best you can hope for in any game, interlaced into every aspect of the game and attached to a character you take between all maps played, this game is full of innovation that makes it a breeze to play intuitively yet still challenging circumstances such as impending invasion of GIANT ARMIES. You should start small and build up a character before going into making big towns or tuning up the survival mode settings. aside from skill system this is also an epic action rpg in which you escalate from jungle fights 2v4 skeletons with sticks into 50v1000 elemental mages and giant stronghold fortress, the game scales in a really cool way, I think the small complexity is best early on for learning and training skills but epic wars are what you train to prepare for, you might die but keep the skills. I was going to sleep yesterday then decided to try this game -_- Actually I think I'm about to play it again, the only problem of this game is the unrelated art style blonde girl graphics everywhere, it's jarring to see alongside such colorful graphics in the game everything looks similar to SNES but the mascotgirl or whatever I thought it was a main character I had to play but this game actually has a really good character creating system and the graphics look nothing like that (except in loading), so the loading screen looks bad is my only real complaint, (there are some bugs too but nothing too bad, I couldn't load all the missions but the other 2 modes are good and missions are considered 'tutorial') you have to play this game to understand how good it is, just close your eyes during load and you'll have a perfect time playing a masterwork game

  Game has a very fun concept but it almost plays itself, instead of having a guiding influence or even leading the village, you seem to play as just another random villager with no more impact that the AI. The villagers spread out and don't work together, and sometimes the best interaction with them is building some sort of structure frame and having them finish it. Game is really fun but you feel more like an observer to some town building screensaver than an actual player.

  UPDATE: Negative Review status is no longer accurate, but neither is recommend. Though I find it fun, I am nuetral toward this game. Mainly because a couple old bugs still havent been fixed that are quite annoying to me. Keep in mind this game isnt finished. Id only buy it if you want to help beta test and support the developer financially. If you have read the negative reviews thus far, you will have found out that none of them even played beyond the tutorial campaign. Even in its current state the game is still surprisingly quite fun and addictive. EDIT:The game is in much better shape now. No more freeze ups or crashes(at least for me) EDIT: The FPS issue seems to have been fixed. The real meat of this game is custom survival games and skirmish games(vs other villages/monsters), either against the AI or with/against friends in multiplayer. The multiplayer part so far appears to be LAN only. But the dev plans to make it full multiplayer.(Skirmish is still a bit buggy) EDIT: Full multiplayer has been added and so far in my testing appears to run well. Crashes once in awhile. Custom survival is that. Custom. You can create your own entire village of characters, though you can only control one at a time, but they will all be what you want, and all have whatever names you give them. You set timers for events and how hard you want it to be. The maximum time so far is up to aprox 16.5 hours with 99 waves of enemies. Starts out rather easy but after a dozen waves or so you will be screaming for mercy as the types of enemies you face get stronger and stronger, possibly more numerous, depending on the settings you choose. Apparently the game is recording every change to characters in real time. Every skill, every level up is saved as it happens. Your custom made villagers never stop gaining experience and levels. They retain all their gained skill levels forever and have them in every game you play. One of the achievments you can get is to have a character at or over level 1000.(exp gain has been slowed down alot it seems, so getting this achievment will take quite a awhile) Each villiger has a ton of skills and abilities. Each one goes up when you use them. Each villager will focus on a set of skill and abilities based on their AI preset. EDIT: Your villagers now get perks, based on their race/career choice(I think) and you unlock new perks as you level up. Skirmish mode is also totally customizable. You can create a custom village just like with custom mode. You can play with up to 10 villages on a map(or monster dungeons), but you can only control one villager at a time, always. You are, however, able to group up and give commands to hired mercenaries and constructed golems and battle machines in order to conduct organized attacks/defenses. If you do not control them, the AI simply has them do whatever it wants. There is no diplomacy. Everything is out to get you and each other.(You can set allies up before the game starts though) The AI isnt that great right now. EDIT:It has been improved greatly since I wrote this. You can now create and customize your own AI pre sets. Syl has already made pre set AI scripts for each kind of villager career type and are used as default, but you can modify them all you like. Despite the game being unfinished and with issues, it is still incredibly fun and engaging. If all you play is the tutorial campaign and you think that is the game, then you would be mistaken and go to write yet another ill informed negative review. (EDIT: There is a new tutorial campaign that is much better than the original) There is only 1 person developing this game, so progress is quite slow. Only buy this game if you want to help out with development, giving feedback, bug reports and ideas. Its gonna be a long slog until this game is ready for release. EDIT: Game has now been released. Though there are still a few very old bugs present... The game is quite playable. EDIT: Syl has been diligently working on this game every single day and updating it frequently the entire time Ive had this game, about a year and a half.. He is always checking the forum for bug reports and even occasionally responds to posts. The game has improved significantly since I wrote this review. New content and several bugs/issues fixed. I am very close to changing this to a recommend review, but not quite yet. There are still a couple of annoying bugs happening in skirmish mode.

  Reccommendation is qualified by saying: WAIT TO BUY. Give it awhile longer for the developer to get further a long. I'll start off by saying this game has NOTHING but potential. But It remains to be seen if the developer will realize the games potential. I'm giving the game a "thumbs up" because of potential and concept, and because poor reviews aren't going to help an in-development game AT ALL. However, At the moment its also not very pleasant to play, being extremely poorly optimized. I would recommend to most to hold off, unless you really want to get involved with the community and provide lots of feedback and testing info to the developer.

  Have to say that this was a very nice enjoyment of a game. first off let me tell you that I love both 4x and god games (where you have the power to do whatever you want) The twist that you are just ONE of the citizens is enjoyable. they do things that can both hinder and help your plans, just like the first come first served mentality. wish you could dismantal buildings though, or target enimies buildings that you can use as a kind of superfuge. The game however is enjoyable for the story yet not really that replayable, outside of difficulty just getting more and stronger enimies per level. I do however wish I could convince my friends to pick this game up so I could test the co-op or vs modes in multiplayer. With a little more pollish, and maybe some graphics overhall due to the RPG/game maker feel, this game could be one of the best games in the city builder/god genre *Tip to creator if they read these* Placing other modes into the non story modes would be better. another plus would be to control your AI builds for citizens (like having the same option you have for your made characters)

  This is a tower defense inspired game where you play as a single hero in a town of heroes. It's a bit like Majesty, except you also control a hero. The other heroes run around, build things, fight, etc. The AI is not very good, but it's way better than having to control everyone manually. Buildings that craft things wear out...and rather quickly. So a big part of this game is actually upkeep. Your three stats (health, stamina and mana) all regenerate very slowly, so you need consumables to keep them up. You need to gather some raw resources, process them into refined resources, and then combine them in some other building to make the final product. Meanwhile, waves of enemies attack you. There are about 8 (?) technological levels that you progress through. During the campaign, it's after certain missions. But the campaign is a poorly written (many many many spelling and grammatical errors), kind of stupid, and for all intents and purposes it's just a tutorial to introduce you to the buildings/items step by step. Which is fine...you'll finish the campaign in an hour or two. What is nice is that your hero levels up every time you play it...whether it's in a skirmish map or during the campaign. As you level up you gather faster, hit harder, etc. There isn't a level requirement for any equipment though and the levels, while helping, aren't overpowered. Probably minimum to maximum level is double to quadruple efficiency. It's nice but...takes a long time to get there. The game is kind of fun to watch and play. You can set it up to be pretty easy, or very difficult depending on how many enemies you spawn and how many townspeople you start with. By adjusting those levels you could probably find a survival mode that suits you. But it doesn't take long to 'see everything'. And although there are different types of weapons and spell classes and so on...everything is more or less the same. The format of the game feels like it would do well with more creativity in weapon/enemy choice...the type of game is pretty cool. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like it's going to get much better than this. tl;dr: it's a cool sandbox survival game but the developers have made it pretty shallow. Play it for a weekend and then probably never play it again.

  One of the few early access games that keeps getting continued updates. Great potential. Love having AI companions with their own will. Could almost be a god game where you can also manage build and of course everyone defends.

  Nice concept to make you feel like you are part of a village. The only problem is it feels like a bunch of individuals instead of a community because there's no shared resources. You need to find food? You gather it yourself. Need it cooked? You cook it yourself. Need clothes? You hunt the skins, sher the sheep, make the linen, sow it yourself. Need a weapon? Go mine, smelt, forge yourself. So it's basically a solo survival game with a bunch of pets to help distract enemies.
