Humankind gameplay
So, this is a turn-based strategy game and there will be 60 different historical cultures that you will be able to choose from. The aim of the game is to make unique combinations by blending them together – and you will alter history in the process.
Time will move from the Neolithic Era to the Contemporary Era and harvesting, farming and building up cities will be some of what takes up a great deal of your time.
Your progress is measured in ‘Fame’ and there are numerous ways you can increase yours that range from the likes of winning battles to locating the wonders of the world – it is a game that will take you a heck of a long time to run out of things to do! Take a look at the gameplay footage below for more insights.
Which consoles and platforms can you get Humankind on?
If you only play on the traditional consoles, then you will be out of luck here, as Humankind is only currently set for release on Microsoft Windows PC, macOS and Stadia. It looks like Steam will be handling the PC release.
It remains to be seen whether that will eventually change at some point after the release, with consoles getting involved in the party, but we can’t say we’re holding our breath on that front. This genre is normally found on computers, after all.
Humankind trailer
Behold! Here is the latest trailer for the Humankind game, and if you want a taster of what you will be in for when you start playing, this should do the trick nicely.
And don’t forget, until the end of July, you can get 33 per cent off the Humankind price when you use the code RADIOTIMES33 on the Fanatical website – so now is great to time order your copy if you haven’t already!
