Really neat game that I recommend. I passed it up for awhile because the graphics didn't appeal to me. Steam kept popping it up as similar to other games that I liked and then a friend of mine said "I need to try it.". I really like it and have had great fun playing it. The bad - Not much bad. I wish there were more graphics options, character models, faces, outfits, etc. There needs to be many more skirmish maps and more options to customize the skirmish games. Even more stuff - building types, weapons, etc. There are 100's of things to make as is but more would be better. More dungeons + NPC monster factions in skirmish mode. There doesn't seem to me to be a great variation in the different races, I'd make the variations bigger to really make the race you chose more important. It needs cloud saves. The Good. - It's fun. Your character can be anything they want and if you want to play something else just start working towards it. Like if you are a mage type and decide you want to be a knight, make some armor and weapons and start melee fighting.. Awesome sandbox skirmishes. I made suggestions to improve them above but even as is they are great fun. I haven't played co-op but it'd have to be great. I didn't encounter any bugs, in free camera mode the camera sometimes doesn't want to move when I mouse to the edge of the screen but it'll end up moving so more of an annoyance than a bug, other than that no issues. It's a small download. I know I didn't write my most detailed review here but I like the game. For me to like a game with this type of graphics says a lot because if you look at what I normally like it doesn't look like this. Besides there is a demo. I didn't play the demo so I'm not sure how much it shows but I'd imagine it'll be fun enough no matter how limited it is. It won't be my favorite game of all time but even after I beat all of the campaign missions on hard levels, I'm sure I'll still play a skirmish from time to time. For me that's a tremendous value as 99% of games after I complete them I never go back. I hope they add to it and I'll be watching their future games. summary = Thumbs up - try this game.

In short. If you like RPG and semi-autonomous city building. This game will be addictive like cocaine for at least 8 hrs. Worth the price without a doubt. Pros: + persistent progress of your avatar’s stats between campaign/custom games/skirmish maps. + Stats develop. Similar to Skyrim ability growths. + no level cap. It doesn’t even break the game… doesn’t make sense but I’m impressed. + your town is grown by your towns people even if you decide to go full Rambo. + gear/magic includes tier and upgrades. + artwork/sound is fine. Some may say sub-par, I bought a game not an orchestra ticket. + replay ability via campaign difficulty and skirmish/custom Cons: -Campaign can do with more content. -As diverse as the tech tree is it could expand a bit more -AI is a bit on the week side ATM -Some form of memory leak? If you play for 5+hrs straight visual glitches start making UI/game elements invisible. Saving and restarting the game fixes it. The game does not lag however. -I need more, if this had workshop integration it would be lining up for game of the year in the RTS & RPG genre, provided modders do their magic. -Story has no voice over, I’m lazy so that’s a minus but a minor one at that. Overall highly addictive and enjoyable game if you like progression. But very heavy on the time consumption so wouldn’t recommend for people who want a 10 min wonder, try Sacred 3.

Aurora Dusk has a lot of content and a unique playstyle for the pricepoint. At $9.99 ($8.49 currently on sale) it's a wonderful value. I wish more games did what Aurora Dusk does, which is lets you create your own character and build a town and fight other towns. It's simple, it works, and it's great. You can either do everything yourself, or have NPCs helping you out. I haven't delved too far into the campaign, but I look forward to doing so once I've had more of a fill of the skirmish mode and trying different things out.

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)

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.
