After an eagerly awaited period, NetEase's latest sensation, Once Human, is now available on iOS and Android, following its initial release on PC. This mobile launch marks a significant moment for fans who have been anticipating diving into a world filled with supernatural phenomena and, of course, an abundance of guns.
In Once Human, you step into the shoes of a Transcendent on the continent of Nekot, one of the few survivors navigating a landscape altered by apocalyptic supernatural events. Instead of relying on traditional swords and sorcery, you'll be equipped with modern weaponry—guns and gadgets galore—to face whatever challenges come your way.
One of the standout features of Once Human is its expansive open world, covering an impressive 256 square kilometers. This vast area is filled with diverse biomes and locations, offering endless opportunities for exploration. Whether you're into fishing, farming, or engaging in combat, Once Human caters to a variety of activities. You can choose to tackle PvE challenges or engage in PvP battles, tailoring your experience to your preferred style of play.
More human than human
Once Human's blend of a sleek, near-future aesthetic with its extensive gameplay mechanics has fueled much of the anticipation surrounding its release. The game has received a relatively positive reception from even the most discerning PC players, making it a must-try for mobile gamers as well.
The game's dense weapon customization system is a particular highlight, appealing to weapon enthusiasts who crave a gritty, detailed experience. Whether you're teaming up with friends to establish a formidable base or crafting your ideal doomsday home solo, Once Human offers a rich and engaging experience.
