Accomplishing great deeds, making ethical decisions, and launching successful military campaigns will all build your fame. The richer your legacy, the deeper your mark on the world; players vie for recognition as they strive to be the most celebrated leader in history.

Tactical Battles: More Than Just Strategy

Combat in HUMANKIND is a carefully designed affair. Each battle transforms into a mini turn-based strategy encounter on the world map. You can unstack armies and command each unit, leveraging your culture's charismatic strengths. Siege warfare requires planning and clever use of units, as battles stretch across multiple turns, demanding thoughtfulness in combat strategy.

Customizing Your Leader Along the Journey

Your avatar in HUMANKIND serves as the face of your civilization, evolving visually to reflect the development of your society. As gameplay progresses, you can customize your leader’s appearance and traits using a meta-progression system. Multiplayer matches enjoy a community aspect where players can showcase their unique leaders, highlighting personal styles and strategies when facing off against up to seven other players.

How Far Will You Push Human Progress?

With game mechanics encouraging exploration, battle, and civilization-building, HUMANKIND continually challenges players to think creatively. Push boundaries, explore the potential of human societies, and chart a course through history that resonates beyond mere gameplay. Every turn shapes your civilization and every decision matters, making every session unique to its player.
