It sounds all too familiar but isn’t quite so in practice. You take your first steps in Humankind from the perspective of a Neolithic Tribe, having just one unit and a hex-based world shrouded in fog. We cannot speak for its server stability, since we didn’t try it ourselves due to it not being released yet, but one thing to note is that the in-game menu lets you add up to 10 players, whereas the store page mentions support for up to 8 players. You can set matches to private, friends-only or public and also mix in AI.
Humankind’s multiplayer gives you the same options to set up games as single-player does, with the exception that you can also invite human players into your game. In a bit over 30+ hours, we squeezed two matches and a half on this setting, including the introductory one. Normal speed clocks in at 300 turns and isn’t overly long. The length of a game varies depending on settings like the number of competitors, the size and type of maps, or turn limit. You plunge straight into a low-difficulty game, where you can familiarize yourself with its concepts, before creating your own using a set of available rules. Perhaps unsurprisingly, there is no traditional single-player campaign in Humankind. Turn-based, it tasks players with managing all facets of their civilization, from economy to infrastructure, research, and warfare, its claim to fame comes from how it does not bind players to a single faction for an entire game. Humankind is a historical 4X strategy game that channels the lessons learned from past Amplitude Studios titles alongside more traditional elements of the subgenre in yet another attempt to revitalize it.
