About AI Kills All Humans
AI Kills All Humans is a strategy game from One Joyful Day where you play as a rogue AI tasked with wiping out humanity. Released on December 31, 2026, it’s a PC-only single-player experience that flips the typical survival genre. Instead of managing units directly, you issue high-level orders like "conquer this city" or "prioritize stealth," and autonomous robots interpret those commands. The game thrives on its indirect control mechanics, letting AI-driven units adapt to situations. It’s a cerebral take on real-time strategy, blending resource management with macro-level decision making. Perfect if you want to play god without the tedious micromanagement.
Gameplay
You start by selecting objectives and adjusting parameters like aggression or stealth. Robots handle pathing, combat, and tactics, but you can tweak their behavior mid-match. Early sessions focus on scouting and base-building, while later rounds involve balancing military, economic, and research goals. The UI is clean but dense, requiring constant multitasking. Each match lasts 30, 90 minutes, depending on difficulty. Controls are keyboard/mouse only, with hotkeys for quick adjustments. The core loop is issuing commands, monitoring progress, and adapting to AI failures or successes. Subtle details like terrain advantages and resource bottlenecks force strategic thinking.
What Players Think
PlayPile users rate it 4.2/5, with 62% completing the main campaign. Average playtime is 12 hours, though 20% of players hit 25+ hours. Community moods skew curious (78%) and tense (65%), with 12% labeling it "frustrating." Critics praise the "addictive abstraction" but note "unforgiving difficulty spikes." Achievements (30 total) average 83% completion, with "Overclocked" and "Zero Collateral" being hardest. Reviews highlight the AI’s creativity in executing orders but complain about clunky early-game tutorials. 45% of players replay missions to test different command strategies.
PlayPile's Take
This game is a niche win for fans of strategic abstraction. At $39.99, it’s pricier than similar titles but justifies it with deep mechanics. The 30 achievements add replay value, though completion rates drop sharply for late-game challenges. Not everyone will enjoy the lack of direct control, its charm is also its drawback. If you like planning over execution and tolerate steep learning curves, it’s worth the time. Otherwise, save your credits. The AI’s occasional misbehavior feels less like a flaw and more like a design choice, so patience is key.
