Our Site Score

88/100

Dawn of Ages is a breath of fresh air for mobile strategy fans who are tired of high-fantasy tropes and 'pay-to-win' magic mechanics. The commitment to historical realism is palpable—every sword, shield, and piece of armor feels grounded in actual medieval history. The gameplay loop of building your city, managing townsmen, and then leading a customized army into battle is incredibly satisfying. The mass battles look great on screen, and the tactical depth provided by over 100 historical gear pieces keeps the PvP encounters feeling fresh.

What I appreciate most is the UI design. It manages to put large-scale battles at your fingertips without feeling cluttered. The progression feels earned; as your civilization evolves, you see the visual changes in your castle and city, which provides a great sense of scale. The lack of dragons and magic means the focus remains squarely on strategy, troop positioning, and timing your commander’s strikes. If you're a student of history or just a fan of Total War-style games, this is easily one of the best strategy titles on the App Store.

Dinsun Review

I appreciate the attempt to bring a 'Total War' feel to the phone. The historical progression from the Bronze Age through the Middle Ages is a nice touch for a history buff like me. The battles actually require a bit of thought regarding troop placement and composition, which is a welcome change from the 'tap to win' garbage usually found on the App Store.

However, it's still a mobile game at heart. The 'Total War' branding in the title is a bit of a reach—you won't find the deep grand strategy of the PC titles here. The timer-based upgrades and resource management eventually turn the game into a chore. It's a solid effort for a mobile title, but it lacks the 'one more turn' magic of the classics because it's always asking for your wallet or your patience.

No Dragons, No Magic, Not Now, Not Ever

As students of history, we're only interested in creating a game that puts us in the shoes of actual historical events, battles, moments, and epochs.

Use the rewards you claimed from the previous battle to equip your troops for the next.

Build your Civilization

Raise a city into a fortified castle and expand your civilization. Recruit townsmen to staff each building and expand your settlement into a bustling medieval city to support the needs of your army. As you battle through the ages, your city will evolve with your military, allowing a greater economy and greater capacity to train troops and construct weapons.
