Kenshi
Description
Kenshi is an open world, squad based sandbox RPG set in a brutal sword-punk wasteland. Gameplay is open-ended rather than a linear story, so you can play as a settler, a trader, a thief, a rebel, a warlord, an adventurer, a farmer, a slave... or just food for the cannibals. But first things first,...

Description
Kenshi is an open world, squad based sandbox RPG set in a brutal sword-punk wasteland. Gameplay is open-ended rather than a linear story, so you can play as a settler, a trader, a thief, a rebel, a warlord, an adventurer, a farmer, a slave... or just food for the cannibals.

But first things first, you need to survive. Train your men up from puny victims to master warriors, carry your wounded squad mates to safety and get them all home alive. You are not the chosen one, you’re not great and powerful, you don’t have more ‘hitpoints’ than everyone else and you are not special. Unless you work for it.
  • Customise a solo character or a whole squad and train them from puny victims to master warriors
  • Survive in an unrelenting world of slavers, cannibals, wild beasts and famine. Nowhere is safe.
  • Build your own fortress, research technologies, craft your own gear and wage war with other factions
  • Explore and scavenge the uncharted lands of one of the largest single player open world maps to date
  • Absolutely no level-scaling. The world does not level up along with you and the game won't hold your hand.

Concept is amazing.

Those guys are doing a great job with the game. They are communicative with the people and their customers with news of the on-going developement on the website and it's active forum that is getting a kind community. The game it's in a very early access but making his way with interesting systems and features like squad management, factions that battles each other and a huge world to explore with toons of towns and people to interact with. Dialoge system with NPC need to be improved and a lot of features have to get implemented, but for now on early acces it will depend on you how many hours you will get into the game. I haven't played much but I really enjoy it. There's a lot of people who plays it and you can search on YouTube for it's content, there's a lot of it. The gameplay feels a little bit boring and difficult at a start because you really have to work hard your way trough the progression of skills of your character, which is a great system. There is some kind of permadeath and a cool injury system that can make your character loss an arm or a leg. Also fighting against NPC and monsters it's very dangerous at the start so you will die and die and start a lot of new games just to get familiarized with Kenshi. You can builg settlements and big cities and trade with factions and kill any NPC on the game. For the moment there's no quests, since it's not the type of game that gives you a path of how to do things. TIP: For gaining money in the first time, it is recommended to get the agro or attention of some monsters and run with them to some city where guards can kill them as you loot the stuff for selling it later. When it comes for experience, it's recommended to start with training dummies to get decent skills for getting a chance of surviving your battles. For now there's no much lore on the game but a few articles of the developers explaining some of the cultures and races you can play with in the game. The character customization is great and I like the graphics and how they get you a feeling of being small in a big world. And as far as music and sound is concerned, it is great and the game have decent tunes to please the ears. The art concept and ideas of the game was my top reason to help those guys with my money, because my imagination just fly with this game at it's actual version. I recommend the purchase for the people who likes the idea and concept of it and wants to support it's developement.

wonderful game, always has more

i have around 260 hours in the game now and i just recently got back into it and its still just as wonderful as i remember, my characters tend to somehow become master assassins every single time i try to play, i also end up being a plague to every city i stay in because i steal every single valuable they own.I'm slightly ashamed to say that i honestly don't know much about kenshi lore even after all this time, i could tell you some of the greatest places to grind stats and how to cheese your way out of just about anything, even if your legs get horrifically damaged and you find yourself tied to a fogman pole being eaten alive, i can get out of it with a little assassination, i can escape being chased by 6 beak things who are far far faster and far stronger than me. But despite knowing all of this, i came back and almost everything i found i knew nothing about. There is so much to explore, the kenshi map is around 300 miles long and 250 miles wide. It is absolutely massive, and despite the fact that on one of my playthroughs i had 5 characters running around the map for days and i still haven't explored most of it. I still don't know where most of the legendary meitou weapons are, i still haven't conquered most of the bandit bases, hell I've still never had a party strong enough to fight a city, although i got close once. (TLDR) Basically what i'm trying to say, is that the game always has more to offer. If your computer can handle it playing on high graphics is a wonderful experience, watching your character sprint through a beautiful world of suffering is a great feeling. Kenshi is undoubtedly a game of suffering, everyone but the top suffer (especially shopkeepers around me) and few suffer more than you, however that suffering is the only way to get stronger, and maybe one day when I, or you, suffer enough and train enough and become strong and knowledge enough. We can create an oasis, where the suffering ends.

I bought this game twice and have and will still use both versions... because it's that kinda game. My new Morrowind, if you will. One I will likely be playing off and on for 20ish years. So yeah, get it!
