HOW SURE ARE WE
Not in any grossing chart, so this comes from ratings growth (60 new ratings a month on average since launch): revenue grows with new ratings, more slowly for apps that collect ratings fast. Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2 times, and big earners tend to come out low. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

★★★★★ Was this purposefully disabled?
★★★★★ Game seems great and I'm sure I'll have fun with once controller support is fixed but right now It's basically unplayable with controller.
★★★★★ The controller support is great, but the forced landscape orientation is a pretty frustrating issue.

★★★★★ 2 of the 5 core gamemodes are inaccessible *after* spending money.
★★★★★ Please add support for both landscape orientations so the charging/controller port can be on either side.

Really like it but glitch

I have paid for this game and love it but can not unlock the other levels or get “stars” even when I have beat the hard levels. So only have the game is accessible. Would even spend more dollars to unlock the rest. Would be willing to show screenshots if you reach out somehow

★★★★★Oct 17, 2026
Impossible challenges

Build a town hall in LESS THAN 30 DAYS, WHAT CRACK ARE YOU SMOKING ITS LITERALLY IMPOSSIBLE

★★★★★Oct 16, 2026
Ereignisreich

Sehr entspanntes Spiel mit einer coolen Story. Habe noch nie so ein Spiel gespielt bei dem man Tage überspringen kann.

★★★★★Oct 13, 2026
I love it

It’s a fun little city builder and works great on the phone. Highly recommend

★★★★★Oct 6, 2026
Comfortable

I am really enjoying this game. I did purchase the full version to support after playing the first world. To be honest there are some things I do not understand and I don’t know where to learn about them (for example, I can’t seem to upgrade desert tents or create buildings for different purposes as in the first world, even though my main building is upgraded to a castle, and I don’t know why). However, I am still learning the game. If there’s need to amend my review later I will, but it’s such a fun, non-stressful game I enjoy it nonetheless.

★★★★★Sep 11, 2026
Sauber

Gutes Spiel, aber bitte eine Möglichkeit einfügen, den selben Spielstand auf verschiedenen Geräten zu haben. Grüße 👍

Store description

In a world of darkness, you are the ruler of a kingdom lost to shadows. On a quest to save your people, you discover Lueur—a mythical, fiery companion who will light your way. Created by solo developer Darenn Keller, Dawnfolk blends minimalist strategy, exploration, and city-building into a relaxing yet deeply rewarding experience. Decades ago, obsidian monoliths fell from the sky, bringing a creeping darkness that consumed the land. Now, with the power of Lueur, you can push back the shadows and reclaim your realm. But what kind of ruler will you be? Explore an uncharted medieval fantasy world, manage resources, build cities, and survive against many dangers. Minigames add a unique challenge to supporting your people. The better you perform, the more resources you gain—helping your community weather the darkness. Every choice matters as you explore different strategies and play styles. Grow your settlement from a handful of tents into a thriving city in less than an hour, with no need for long tutorials or complex systems. Designed to feel familiar yet fresh, the game focuses on exploration and experimentation—where discovery is part of the journey. Your choices will shape the fate of your people. Will you succeed in bringing light back to the world? Features - A Comfy Game: A strategy experience designed for relaxed play, wherever you are. - Easy to learn: No long tutorials or complex menus—jump in and start building. - Short sessions: Grow from nothing to a thriving city in under an hour. - Mixing Macro and Micro: Blend city-building with mini-games inspired by farming sims and RPGs. Earn bonus resources through skill-based challenges that break up city management. - Game Modes: Multiple ways to play, including real-time, turn-based, and adjustable difficulty. - Incentivized Discovery: Explore, experiment, and uncover systems at your own pace—the game won’t tell you everything. - Minimalist Design: Focused mechanics that deliver depth without unnecessary complexity. - Interactive Story: Your buildings shape evolving stories. Your choices determine outcomes and directly impact your city—will you rule with kindness or pragmatism?
