About
Dawnmaker is a solo strategy game combining elements of city building and deck building to create a board game-like experience. In a world covered by a toxic Smog, only you can rekindle the ancient lighthouses and bring light and life back. Construct buildings, gain new cards, generate resources and improve your central lighthouse to unlock new building space.

Optimize your deck — Gain increasingly powerful cards as you improve your city. Your cards and buildings interact in various ways: choose them wisely to create the most powerful combinations!
Build efficient cities — Make the best of your limited space by optimally positioning your buildings. Improve your lighthouse to repel the Smog and expand your city.
Manage your resources — Grow farms, build industries, develop science and inspire your people to create the rarest of resources: Eclairium!

Reclaim the lost continent — The continent of Heksiga has been covered by a toxic Smog. Repair and improve magical lighthouses to repel that Smog and reclaim the land, region by region.
Recover lost technologies — Explore vestiges of the old Empire and rediscover technologies that were lost to the Smog.

Fort sympathique ! Un jeu mêlant de la pose de tuiles et du deck building avec au total un feeling qui s’apparente davantage à celui d’un jeu de plateau qu’à un jeu vidéo. Certains bâtiments sont nettement plus forts que les autres et une fois que l’on à fini une run avec chaque personnage on a normalement fait le tour des quelques stratégies réellement viables. Ceci dit, je me suis clairement amusé pendant la bonne vingtaine d’heure que ça m’a pris et je recommande donc sans hésiter !
très bon petit jeu. Avec des enjeux de placement de compo très intéressant
Nice little game, enjoyed playing it. in the beginnig you need some time to learn the mechanics but after that it is a fun time killer. Only downside is that its on the shorter side. Maybe there will be some Dlc or update in the future with new islands. i recommend this one
Really cool take on a not-so-well represented genre ! The system is both simple and efficient and the "just one more run" vibe is here. Great work !
Считаю эту игру шедевром по проработанности игровых механик. Большое количество зданий и игровых карт, и гигантское количество комбинаций между ними (бонусы за разрушение зданий, за возведение, за активацию, за активацию соседа, просто за соседство и это ещё очень маленькая часть). На каждом уровне нужно развивать маяк и на каждом этапе развития можно проиграть из-за неэффективной стратегии, или из-за стратегии акцентированной только на развитие к концу игры, поэтому играть интересно на каждом этапе.
最初こそ癖の有るルールに戸惑いますが、何度かプレイすると対応方法が見えてきます。 最初の1,2プレイで離脱する人には合わない可能性があります。ワンプレイにはそこそこ時間を要します。 3度、4度とプレイしつつ、過去の失敗を繰り返さない挑戦を試みる事が出来ると、しっかりハマる攻略法が見出せます。 そういう自分で攻略方法を探るプレイヤーにとっては面白いゲームだと思います。 ビジュアルに関しては、ストアにある画面がほとんど全てで、代り映えはしません。絵を求める人には向いていません。
Très bon jeu qui a eu beaucoup d'améliorations depuis sa sortie !
Even if the game is great, at this state, i really want a good sound design and music. right now there is just a poor sound design and no music at all.
Relaxing
sure
