Game

Civilization is a wonderful series that revolutionized the strategy genre 30 years ago. But the last decade we have felt that the series somewhat has stagnated. And someone at Amplitude studios must have said "we can do that better".

Expect a game truly inspired by Civ, but at the same time we would not call it a rip off. Humankind brings its own flavor to the game, you change nation culture every new era and the game also brings a totally different combat system, to mention a few things.

Humankind is truly needed and interesting new take on Civ. But it is also a bit rough around the edges sometimes.

Co-op

Expect similar coop as in Civ. You can team up and become allies against the AI opponents.
