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.

Early Access review

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.
