A Tale of Survival and Strategy
In dotAGE, players step into the shoes of the prophetic elder of a remote village, battling against the looming Apocalypse. This isn’t your typical city builder. It intricately weaves in elements inspired by worker-placement board games. Players face the unique challenge of building their village, managing resources, and assigning tasks to villagers, aptly named Pips.
Every decision matters. Whether it’s growing crops, herding animals, crafting tools, upgrading infrastructures, training professionals, or even the somber task of burying the deceased – players must think ahead and strategize, as each turn brings challenges and rewards.
Nine Years in the Making: A True Labor of Love
dotAGE boasts of a vast world, with over 200 buildings, 70 resources, and a staggering 600 events, ensuring that no two gameplay experiences are alike. As players progress, they’ll unlock many new mechanics, diving deeper into the lore and stories of the village elders and uncovering the mysteries behind the Apocalypse.
What’s truly remarkable is that this game, which combines the complexity of village building with roguelite and worker-placement mechanics, is the brainchild of a solo developer. Michele Pirovano dedicated nine years, crafting dotAGE in his free time, proving his unwavering commitment to the gaming community.
