This week Epic Games store is giving away HUMANKIND – a turn-based historical strategy game.
Unlike traditional historical strategy games that focus on guiding a single civilization from start to finish, HUMANKIND allows players to combine elements from different cultures to create a unique society across six eras of human history.
Gameplay
The core gameplay of HUMANKIND revolves around managing cities, expanding territories, engaging in diplomacy, waging wars, and advancing through technological and cultural developments. Players begin as a humble Neolithic tribe and progress through history by selecting from 60 different cultures, ranging from the Egyptians and Romans to the Mongols and Japanese. Each culture comes with its own unique abilities, buildings, and military units, allowing for endless strategic possibilities.
What sets it apart from others is the ability to mix and match cultures at the beginning of each new era. This system encourages adaptability and creativity, as players can shape their civilization based on their immediate needs and long-term goals. For example, a player might start with the industrious Egyptians in the Ancient Era, transition to the militaristic Huns in the Classical Era, and later embrace the scientific prowess of the Germans in the Industrial Era
Unique Objectives
Unlike other strategy games that often rely on military conquest as the primary path to victory, HUMANKIND uses a Fame-based system. Players accumulate Fame points through achievements such as military victories, scientific advancements, cultural influence, and economic prosperity. The civilization with the most Fame at the end of the game is declared the winner, encouraging a balanced approach rather than just the simple brute force dominance.
Conclusion
With its deep strategic gameplay, rich historical elements, and innovative cultural combination system, HUMANKIND offers a refreshing take on the grand strategy genre. Whether you aim to build an empire of warriors, scholars, or traders, the game provides countless ways to leave your mark on history.
