Humankind (stylized as HUMANKIND™) is a historical turn-based 4X grand-strategy game by AMPLITUDE Studios where players develop their own culturally dynamic civilizations from the Neolithic Era to the Contemporary Era to gain the most fame by having the greatest impact on human history. In Humankind Civilizations evolve their culture in each Era from a total of 60 historical cultures.
History[]
AMPLITUDE Studios was founded to create the best turn-based strategy game. But as no one of the developers even created such a game, they decided to create a few other games first. With Humankind they finally created the game they always wanted to create.
About the game[]
Create your civilization[]
Combine up to 60 historical cultures as you lead your people from the Ancient to the Contemporary Era. From humble origins as a Nomadic Tribe, transition to the Ancient Era as the Babylonians, become the Classical Era Mayans, the Medieval Umayyads, the Early Modern Era Spanish, and so on. Each culture will add its own special gameplay layer, leading to near-endless outcomes.
More than history, it is your story[]
Face historical Narrative Events, take impactful moral decisions, and make scientific breakthroughs. Discover the natural wonders of the world or build the most remarkable creations of humankind. Each game element is historically authentic. Combine them to build your own vision of the world.
Leave your mark on the world[]
The journey matters more than destination. Fame is a new and unifying victory condition. Every great deed you accomplish, every moral choice you make, every battle won will build your fame and leave a lasting impact on the world. The player with the most fame will win the game. Will you be the one to leave the deepest mark on the world?
Master tactical battles on land, sea & air[]
Each battle in Humankind plays out like a mini turn-based board game on top of the actual world map. Unstack your armies and command each of your units, including the emblematic units of your culture and their special abilities. Construct siege weapons to besiege and occupy cities. Fight in large battles spanning multiple turns, and don’t hesitate to bring in reinforcements!
Customize your leader[]
In Humankind, you’ll be playing the leader of your society as an avatar that you create and customize! Your avatar will evolve visually over the course of the game as your civilization develops. You’ll also be able to level up your leader via a meta-progression system to unlock custom looks that you can showoff to strangers and friends alike in multiplayer matches up to 8 players.
