![]() I should clarify that “sleeping with” other characters is just that. Once Bell reaches a certain level of intimacy, he can go on a date with other female characters or even “sleep with” them. Completing these missions while meeting certain criteria will allow Bell to begin to add up “intimacy points” with certain other characters. Who doesn’t love a good dating sim mixed in with their action RPGs?! Progressing through the story unlocks new missions to play through in the labyrinth town of Orario. Infinite Combate is admittedly off to a pretty terrible start, but is the rest of the content worth it? Well, if you’re like me and enjoy the story progression and the extra canon provided by the game enough to make it through the main story arc, you’ll be rewarded with a brand new gameplay mechanic that holds true to the title of the game and anime. Most bosses still required the extra firepower of a spell to take them down, however. Due to this, I found it unnecessary to bother with spellcasting while battling basic foes. However, the actual casting of the spell is yet another painstakingly slow process in a combat system that is already encumbered by a slow pacing. It was very cool to be able to cast the spells that look so epic in the anime. More on that later, but it’s important to note that both Bell and Ais are capable of casting a spell. This should be a real draw for fans of the anime source material. One interesting nuance to Infinite Combate is the ability to play as Ais and see parts of the story unveiled through her perspective. Fortunately(?), simple attacks are enough to dispatch most foes, with the exception of the game’s toughest bosses. This would’ve been much more of a nuisance if combat had any depth and required skill. There is a noticeable delay between the press of the button and the execution of an attack. Please note the emphasis on “trudge” – combat is incredibly clunky here, and clunky combat doesn’t mix very well with action RPGs. The premise here is to TRUDGE protagonists Bell or Ais through short dungeon missions while checking off the necessary goals to advance the story. Frankly speaking, Infinite Combate plays as if it just stepped out of an alternate timeline where the DS is still the top standard for handheld games. "We hope that peoples' experiences with this build will help us to further improve the game", says Amplitude.Let’s get the worst part of the game out of the way. This "Lucy" gameplay scenario will feature Humankind's first four eras - Neolithic to Early Modern - and includes a taste of various systems, including religion, civics, and diplomacy. What's more, those who've pre-ordered on Steam will have the chance to trial-run a new chunk of the game via Amplitude's OpenDev platform from 15th-28th December. It's now ready to be more specific, however, announcing that Humankind will be making its way to Steam, the Epic Store, and Stadia on 22nd April next year. Humankind - which Eurogamer's Chris Tapsell took a thorough preliminary tour of back in June - was originally due to launch this year, but Amplitude eventually opted to delay release into April 2021. Developer Amplitude is on an announcement spree, revealing a proper release date for its promising civ game Humankind, and unveiling Endless Dungeon, a rogue-lite tactical action game and spiritual successor to Dungeon of the Endless.
