About

Polylithic is a survival game unlike any other, set in the Stone Age. Humans are not yet apex predators but one of many species living on Earth. You can be part of the change as a tribe leader, taking your people from Paleolithic hunting and gathering to building the first permanent settlements of the Neolithic age, paving the way for future civilizations.
But before that can happen, you will have to discover a world, craft the first proper tools and items in mankind’s history, research the first technologies that separated humans from other species, and build many villages for your tribe– helping them grow, prosper, and eventually settle down to let prehistory turn into history.
A Low-Poly World of Opportunity
The Polylithic universe is a vibrant place, with a world only barely touched by human presence. Search for resources in tall forests, snow-covered hills, and raging river rapids. Hunt all manner of animals to feed yourself and your tribe. A hint of sci-fi mystery lingers in this ancient world. Search for other human tribes (or what's left of them), learn from their mistakes, and build monuments in their memory, all set against a backdrop of vibrant colors and beautiful low-poly landscapes.
Prehistoric Survival
You will have to gather, craft, and hunt your way to survival in these colorful environments. Every animal is a challenge to track down, from the smallest rabbit to the tallest mammoth, as is finding the right resources. After all, this is the first time humanity has attempted it. How well would you fare in the wilderness?
Lay the Foundations of Civilization
You can experience Polylithic trying to survive on your own - or you can do what our ancestors did and form tribes. There's strength in numbers, and as the village leader, it will be your goal to look after your fellow tribesmen, take care of their needs and keep them happy. In return, they will work under your leadership, further growing the tribe, becoming Elders, and paving the way for the Neolithic Revolution.
Survive Together
Experience the prehistoric world with friends in the new multiplayer mode, supporting up to 10 players. Form your own tribe, share resources, and work together to hunt, build, and explore. Whether you coordinate as a group or strike out on your own path, multiplayer makes every survival story unique and unpredictable.

Two things I have to say about this game. 1.) I enjoyed it, which was surprising since I dont like "survival games". But the survival aspect that deals with regular attacks (Here your camp gets attacked by wild creatures instead of the usual zombies or cannibals or whatnot you get in most) was a relativly small part. 2.) That being said, it is not what I was looking for, which was a game where combat needs to be initiated by you, for example by hunting, and where you spend your time trying to basicly manage your tribe and gather resouces and build stuff. Unfortunatly, even that small part of constantly getting attacked by wild animals for whatever reason (I dont understand why that mechanic seems to be neccesary in all similar games) is so much of a turn-off for me, that I will not play this game further. Fazit: If you like survival/builders and like something different then the usual post apocalypse or mysterious island, this game may be for you. If you are more into building games or farming/life sims, you should probably pass. Unless they decide that you can completly turn off those stupid camp attacks in the options. Shouldn't be that much of a problem. They can just make it so that the fire in the camp actually does someting by prohibiting wild animals to enter the settlement zone while it burns. As is now, it doesn't stop them.
