Cancell the Post-Apocalypse, embrace the Crab.

Simply an amazing game. It combines RTS and RPG perfectly. Made for people who want to do anything they want. There are no guidelines. 100% get it. They deserve the money.

Kenshi is a length open-world survival RPG sandbox game. There are no level-ups or hitpoints, but there are skill levels and body-part-specific health levels which range from broken to 'missing limb' (which can be replaced with prosthetics). It's almost more of a simulation than a game! The initial challenge is very high, you will be scraping by doing things like scavenging, trading, mining, or fighting starving bandits, all just to afford the most basic of supplies. Ultimately, you will found a town and recruit up to 30 characters that you control in the same way as your player-character. You can assign AI orders to your characters to help automate almost all jobs including food, crafting, and defense. One thing to keep in mind is it is OK, even necessary, to be defeated in battle. Sustaining injuries helps raise your stats making your characters even beefier in the next battle. Healing after a battle is slow and kind of a pain, but can be sped up by building camp beds or resting in an inn. If you are defeated, you might even be enslaved and made to perform forced labor. Overall, this is a real gem that has been in development for 7 years, didn't disappoint, and shouldn't be overlooked.
