The genre, that first flourished in the early \u201890s with <em>SimCity 2000<\/em> has consistently delivered intricate excellence, with series like <em>Tropico<\/em>, <em>Frostpunk<\/em> and <em>Anno<\/em>, building to the triumph of 2015&#8217;s <em>Cities: Skylines<\/em>. But it\u2019s also offered more esoteric takes, with the brilliant <em>Surviving Mars<\/em>, <em>Before We Leave<\/em>, and <em>Dorfromantik<\/em>. But you know what they all lack? A magic light being with a story to tell. So welcome <em>Dawnfolk<\/em>, a glorious distilling of the genre that  streamlines and simplifies, while weaving its own spellbinding narrative. &#8211; John Walker <span><a class=\"sc-1out364-0 dPMosf sc-145m8ut-0 erKGZM js_link\" data-ga=\"[[&quot;Embedded Url&quot;,&quot;Internal link&quot;,&quot;https:\/\/kotaku.com\/dawnfolk-review-city-building-game-steam-indie-1851770670&quot;,{&quot;metric25&quot;:1}]]\" href=\"https:\/\/kotaku.com\/dawnfolk-review-city-building-game-steam-indie-1851770670\">Read More<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/kotaku.com\/a-great-new-city-builder-a-terrific-new-zombie-shooter-1851771604\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Screenshot: Astra Logical \/ Kotaku There are so many degrees of scope when it comes to the city building format.
