Once Human is a Strange Worlds Survival Game set in a strange, post-apocalyptic future. Unite with friends to fight monstrous enemies, uncover secret plots, compete for resources, and build your own territory. Once, you were merely human. Now, you have the power to remake the world.
Revenue comes from in-game items and microtransactions, which our price-based model doesn't estimate. The player count below is how many people own it, not what they spent.
Prices
The United States storefront in every case, so this compares stores and not countries.
Charts
Each storefront's own chart, in its own country — the closest public signal to sales where none is published. A country missing from a list is one we don't collect there, not one where the game doesn't chart.
About
You wake up in the middle of nowhere. You'll have to brace yourself for the cruelty of nature (from monsters to lack of food); however, Stardust's influence does not restrict to living things, it also affects the soil and water. Eating polluted food and drinking dirty water will reduce your Sanity. When your Sanity drops, your max HP would drop accordingly. To eat or not to eat, it's a question.
Battle numerous enemies that are once human, and challenge bosses from another dimension to gain powerful items and ease Stardust pollution. You are not only fighting for yourself, but also fighting for the survivors.
With about 100 gun blueprints divided into seven categories for you to collect and craft, every loot grants you something new. Did I mention accessories and gun perks? Right, they are the heroes here. If our current weapon cannot satisfy your need, you can add different parts and perks, upgrade your firearm to your heart's content.
Use Territory Core to build a house of your own. You can keep a practical style, jamming everything needed in a small room; or you can design a townhouse with a patio, kitchen, garage… The best part is, you can relocate your territory any time you want!
Delve into the truth of Stardust, find out where it came from, and what it wants. In the journey of seeking truth, you may feel alone, but you are never alone. There are several factions in the world, some can be violent and hostile, others might be friendly and helpful. Explore human settlements to learn their stories or exterminate bosses without leaving a name for survivors to praise, the choices are yours.

Reviews
Look, the game is fantastic... if you can actually get to playing it. It's not meant to be played alone, and playing with friends is nearly impossible to do successfully. Example: I recently returned to the game and invited my brother to play with me. He created an account, a new character, jumps through all the tutorial hoops, yadda yadda. Long story short, he's locked into a Novice Server until he gathers enough of some odd resource I can't even find the name of, and the only way to get it is by playing the game and completing his seasonal goals or some-such. Meaning he has to play alone for who knows how long to simply be allowed the option to join me. In learning all of this, we also discovered that actually switching servers is also roadblocked. You start off in a seasonal server, which you have to do X things to leave (or wait until the season ends, shutting down the server). OR you can forcibly leave the server early to move to another, which is only possible with X resource I also couldn't find the name of. Then, and only then, can you go to *another* server where your friends are - BUT!!!!! Only if the server is accepting players. Does all of this sound like a complicated horror story to you yet? Yes? Good. Because it is. But forgetting for a moment the obvious nightmare that is *actually getting to play the game with literally anyone you actually want to play with*... The game itself is actually good. Gameplay? 10/10. Graphics? 8.5/10. Building? 9/10. Crafting? 7.5/10. Bosses/Dungeons? 10/10. If you play solo, you're in for a great time. A *very* great time. Hell, every hour I have on this game is from playing solo. But if you want to play with friends... good luck. I've dropped the game entirely because of my experience in attempting to do just that.

It's like a horror game had a baby with Fortnite and Fallout. Quirky but fun so far.
great game
ive love this games since i first started
6 days of ownership and 44 hours already played (don't get me wrong, i got 2-3 other friends playing with me) but even without them, while out and about i can log on, on my phone and farm a bit and prep for the long night of progression on the game. I would say, give it a chance and you might really enjoy it. It's free and once you get the hang of it, it's worth it for real!
