If Tribia is anything to go by, life in prehistoric times – or, rather, the mythical era when man and dinosaur lived happily side by side – was far from easy. The pitfalls are fairly obvious: an abundance of appalling body odour, the daily danger of a gruesome death at the hands – or, rather, teeth – of a Tyrannosaurus Rex, and the fact that the official pre-order process for the 3DS was still some way off at that point. Oh, and everything that went on was utterly boring. That's pure speculation on my part, of course, but chances are anyone who tries Tribia: Prehistoric Tribes will draw the same conclusion.
Neither one thing nor the other The game's main problem is that it's hard to figure out just what the whole thing is for. Pitch-wise, Tribia: Prehistoric Tribes feels like an attempt at a fairly basic take on real-time strategy, requiring you to further your mini-civilisation by expanding its settlements, feeding its people, and bolstering its resources. In reality, however, coming out on top in most levels is simply the result of obeying orders. Each level you undertake comes with goals, but meeting them relies on your ability to follow through on set processes. For example, building new huts uses up materials that have to be obtained first – rocks and trees hacked and rolled into workable tools on command.
There's also fighting off beasties for food to consider, as well as taking down any rival tribes encroaching on your living space. The whole thing takes place on a 2D map, viewed side-on, meaning your options are essentially restricted to moving left or right, and pressing '5' in any spot to carry out a set action - killing animals for food or building a new hut are among the most prevalent. While you don't actually control any specific characters, you can instruct any of your tribe to take action by simply planting an arrow above any space or object. Out of its time Sadly, however, none of this is especially fun or engaging. Tribia: Prehistoric Tribes's model relies on you investing love into your tribe in almost Tamagotchi fashion.
In practice, however, it never actually works. There's no sense that your band of brothers has any real character, and with no reason given for fighting and foraging in the first place play never really gets off the ground. Even working out what you're meant to be doing and why is an ordeal in itself, with developer Qplaze giving only the bare bones when it comes to either instructions or settings. It leaves Tribia: Prehistoric Tribes as a game without a cause. The processes behind what could be a light but relatively entertaining strategy sim are there, but the framework they're housed in is entirely vacuous and devoid of fun, turning Tribia into a game that's old before its time.

Rated 5 out of 5 by JulzCat from Untimed Management Is The Best! I very much enjoyed this game. Jack was chilling at an amusement park when suddenly his ride led him to being the Chief of an ancient tribe! Build villages and save the locals from some nasty torch-wielding cavemen. Some people were claiming this wasn't enough of a challenge because you can do it untimed, but to me that was the best part.
I enjoy the game play of time management games but hate the stress of having to beat the clock. If you want a challenge, you can beat the clock to win a gold star. There were also trophies to be won. Rated 5 out of 5 by LexaLovely from Loved it - Played over a dozen times My one complaint is that you can't skip the tutorial no matter how many times you have beaten the game. I play this all the time and I still think its cute and funny and fun. Its a good way to kill a couple of hours and some of the levels are a challenge to get a perfect score on so you stay engaged.
The ending makes it seem like there will be a follow up especially since there are an odd number of levels but so far. I really hope they make more Jack of All Tribes games.
