Catalog note

Not a persistent MMO

  • This catalog entry appears to be a miscategorization: Humankind is a turn-based 4X strategy game played in discrete matches, not a persistent-world MMO.
  • If guiding a civilization through history by mixing and matching historical cultures appeals to you, it's a well-regarded entry in the 4X genre.
  • Worth knowing about for strategy fans researching the genre alongside Civilization-style games.
Before you play

Things to consider

  • Multiplayer is match-based (a single game session with a set number of players), not a persistent shared world.
  • If this profile is being used to evaluate MMO-style shared-world features, this entry doesn't fit the genre this site is built around.
  • Turn-based multiplayer matches can run long, since all players must complete their turns each round.
