Humankind is that, and as it’s Amplitude that’s developing Humankind, this makes it worthy of interest.Īs such, the core of the pitch of Humankind is this: If Civilization has become to enamored with long-term planning, with an endgame focus, with dividing into good plans versus bad plans then Humankind is an attempt to muddy those waters. This might sound limited, but there’s actually a lot of room in the anti-Civ genre - despite Civilization’s monumental place in the strategy game universe, it’s only inspired a handful of direct competitors of turn-based games covering the entirety of history. Thus, in a sense, Humankind can only be understood in relation to Civilization. ‘The journey matters more than the destination’ And in the specific niche of the “4X” strategy game, Amplitude Studios, with its excellent Endless Legend and largely successful Endless Space 2, are starting to compete with Firaxis and Civilization on their home turf. Total War, Civ’s only real long-term competitor for the greatest strategy series, has had an uneven but largely fruitful decade. Paradox Interactive games like Europa Universalis 4 have moved in, with a focused simulation of a specific historical era and no rigid endgame. This isn’t inherently a bad concept, but it is a relatively niche one, and now Civ is no longer the dominant force in strategy games.
