Do you ever want to relive all of human history? Do you dream of leading your people from humble beginnings to lasting fame and greatness? Do you wish you could leave your mark on humankind? If your answer to any of the above was a resounding yes, then you may be interested in Amplitude Studios’ latest turn-based 4X strategy game, HUMANKIND™.
Explore a world beautifully rendered on a fully 3D map, expand your empire territory by territory, exploit the resources of the land through your cities, and exterminate your enemies if necessary. Guide your civilization from its beginnings as a small Neolithic tribe to the great opportunities and dangers of the Contemporary era. As you move through history, you may adopt a new culture in each era to adapt to your changing situations and face your challenges. Yet each culture leaves a legacy on your people, and with 60 different cultures to choose from, over a million different possible combinations let you create a civilization as unique as you are by the time you reach the modern days.
Yet it is not the last remaining empire, the largest, nor the first to reach Mars who will emerge victorious at the end of the game, because HUMANKIND™ is all about the history of your people, the mark they left, and what they will be remembered for. All your great deeds, from growing a large population or building great cities full of wonders to founding a religion or inventing key technologies, will earn you Fame, and it is the most famous culture who is considered the winner in HUMANKIND™, even if they may no longer exist.
Still, if you are a great general who prefers to command their troops on the battlefield, Humankind offers you an engaging tactical experience integrated with the strategic management of your empire and armies. From small skirmishes of warriors, spearmen, and archers in the ancient era, to the gunlines, trenches, and even aerial bombardment of modern warfare, the clever use of terrain, unit abilities, and reinforcements can turn the tide of battle. Face charging knights by taking the high ground with your pikemen, hide your musketeers in forests to ambush your enemy and take cover from the return fire, and remember to bring a trebuchet or some cannons to bring down the enemy walls. And if your enemy still seems too strong, outflank them and bring your reinforcements to bear from behind their ranks, or simply bring your biggest guns and shell them from a safe distance.
If any of this has piqued your interest, but you're not quite sure if you'll like the game, you can experience the first 100 turns for yourself, playing from the Neolithic to the end of the classical era and combining up to two of fourteen different cultures cultures. Pick up the free demo on Steam, Epic Games Store, or the Microsoft Store, and try the early game before you continue your journey in the full game (yes, the save files are compatible, so you can just keep playing!)
