GameSpot writes: "We enjoyed our time with Dawn of Discovery since it's a relatively slow-paced, casual strategy game. There is no combat or excessive natural disasters to ruin all your hard work, so instead, you can focus on keeping your inhabitants healthy, happy, and productive. The story is told through cartoon still images with voice acting, which is a nice touch. Despite being on the small screen of the DS, everything is well laid out so that you can see everything, and the controls are straightforward. Look for Dawn of Discovery when it is released in June".
