Bronze Age is a free city planning and management game with a historical backdrop. The aim is to build an entire, fully-functioning bronze age settlement.

Build your own Bronze Age city

Bronze Age has a simple interface. Taking the role of a bronze age ruler, your task is to construct a flourishing city and protect it from attacks. To do so will involve building farms, canals, roads, bridges, and trade depots to ensure that your citizens will be able to spread and prosper. But there are rival tribes who will want your land for their own, so you will need to build and maintain an army to fight off invaders.

A complex game of strategy

The gameplay of Bronze Age will take time to learn, but fans of Cities Skylines and Holyday City: Reloaded will appreciate the challenge offered by Bronze Age. This is a game with plenty of depth, encompassing different skills including the construction of cities, the satisfaction of villagers through such matters as food supplies and religious rites, and the maintenance of armies.

With add-ons as well

In addition, there are add-ons available for the game that will expand it beyond the basic setting. You will be able to travel from the bronze age to a "dieselpunk" retro-sci-fi world, for example, and take your strategy to a whole new dimension.

More complex than it looks

Once you get past the basic graphics you will find a sophisticated game with plenty of tactical depth. Enthusiasts of city-planning and historical games will be able to look past the rudimentary exterior and appreciate what this free game has to offer.
