Compare I Want To Be Human prices across trusted key stores and find the best deal. Developed by Rising Star Games. Published by Rising Star Games. Released on 4/15/2016. Available on PC. Genres: Action, Indie, Platformer. Metacritic score: 53/100.

A gory 2D platformer where you play a vampire trying to reclaim humanity through cartoonish carnage. Quick, weird, and knows not to overstay its welcome.

I Want To Be Human is a 2D action platformer that leans hard into absurdist humor and pixel-art dismemberment. You control a vampire (or a hat-wearing boy, depending on your co-op partner) through bite-sized levels, using melee attacks and environmental hazards to destroy everything in sight. The core loop is simple: smash enemies, solve light puzzles, chase a narrative that's clearly not taking itself seriously. The game's strength is pacing. At around 2-3 hours, it never wears out its welcome, and the gore-as-comedy angle works if you're okay with goofy, exploding enemies. The problem is that combat feels repetitive once the novelty wears off, and level design doesn't consistently build on its own ideas. This is a budget indie platformer from 2016 that does what it sets out to do without ambition beyond that. If you want a short, weird platformer with a dark sense of humor, it's harmless fun. If you're hunting for tight platforming or meaningful challenge, look elsewhere. Alex, Scout Team

GamerScout Verdict

A brief, silly platformer that knows its limits and respects your time, but combat grows thin before it ends.

Every store in this table quotes us in euros, so the EUR figure is the price the seller actually set, not our arithmetic — which is why EUR is also the currency we rank in. We only list an offer here when the store gives us its price in euros, so nothing in this table is a number we invented.

Pick USD, PLN, GBP, CAD or AUD in the header and we convert from EUR at the European Central Bank reference rate — converted amounts are prefixed with ~. Your bank or the store may apply a different rate at checkout. We never hide offers based on where you are: everyone sees this whole table.

We may earn a commission when you buy games through links on this page — at no extra cost to you. It never affects our rankings or verdicts.
