The long wait is over as Once Human has finally arrived on mobile, bringing plenty of post-apocalyptic survival action along with it.

As you can probably guess from the title, this futuristic world is plagued with things that aren't as human as they originally might seem. Thankfully, you're a Meta-Human with special abilities that can help you face the aberrations all around you - if you can survive each new day with the ancient horrors and monstrous creatures lurking around every corner, that is.

Metro Quester

If you're looking for something a little bit more old-school, Metro Quester might just quench your thirst for the good ol' days with its retro-style aesthetics, and it also adds an almost text-based approach to your average dungeon-crawler. There are plenty of 1980s vibes here despite being set in a post-apocalyptic world, with 24 characters and 8 classes you can try your hand at to see which one fits your playstyle best.

The game system was designed by Hironori Kato (of Elden Ring TRPG fame) as well, along with a New Game+ and a welcome Bestiary that true old-school RPG fans can enjoy.
