Tail of the Sun is a three-dimensional adventure and arcade game, whose main character is a member of a prehistoric tribe, trying to pave way for a bright future for his group. The title provides great freedom of fun and interpretation of the presented events.

Mechanics

Developed by Artdink, the game tells the story of a caveman whose ultimate goal is to build a huge tower made of mammoth bones in order to ensure God's blessing for himself and his tribe. However, achieving this ambitious plan requires specific skills and raw materials.

The action of the game is presented in isometric projection, in a static shot. Controlled by the players, the caveman travels the vast world, collecting necessary items, hunting, and improving his abilities. The title tries to simulate life in a realistic way, so it is necessary not only to eat properly but also to devote time to sleep or to control the animal population in order not to lead to their extinction. In the case of the death of our caveman, the players choose another member of the tribe, continuing the mission entrusted to them and taking care of the further development of the small civilization.

The devs decided to use mechanics known from RPGs in their title the, so each character has their own health bar, as well as several features that can be developed. Improving them enables us to discover previously inaccessible areas of the map and deal with more dangerous enemies.

Technical aspects

Tail of the Sun is a three-dimensional game distinguished by a vast, consisting of several climate zones, world. However, hardware limitations have meant that the land is relatively empty and the creatures living there are simple, averagely animated 3D models.
