The game includes features such as extra save files, permadeath options, a randomizer mode, and a Clash Tower mode. Alpha and beta testing will continue until summer 2027, and the 'Late Pledges' period is still open for additional support.

Once Human review

- Building in Once Human is deep and complex, with players creating impressive estates and using resources readily available. - Creatures collected in terrariums can assist players but require specific conditions to perform at their best. - Shooting in the game is easy, with enemies being easily defeated with headshots and bosses being mostly sponges. - PvP is available but can be avoided, and many encounters can be done solo. - The game has a low difficulty level, but players can still have fun and enjoy the content. - The game's menu systems can be confusing and some players have experienced bugs. - Traveling in vehicles can be challenging due to clunky controls and unpredictable collision mechanics. - The game is free to play, with monetization limited to cosmetics.
