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.

Whaaaaaaat!

I bought this game and have been engulfed since i have, but in my honest opinion if you, Chris, would start a kickstarter and implemented the ideas you originally started with I would still fund the project. Man in short, Wasteland meets fallout meets final fantasy, etc... gold my friend, soon to be classic.

Not even worth it for free

I have had this game for quite some time on Steam. I find that the overall concept was great and the world with the Mad Max design cool. However, after mindlessly running around for ages, nothing to actually do without spending an inordinate amount of time, and the flawed and horrible rate at which the game runs, I can't recommend the game. It takes ages to actually get going and if there are people that don't mind spending 100+ hours to get going, this might be for them. This game just drives me nuts. It spent ten years in development and has little to show. I'm sorry but with the way this game is, I can't recommend it, even for those that don't mind spending a bit of time learning a game. I'm one of those people but I am not committing a second life to getting going.

Normally its a 5 star game

The current price for what you get is just don't worth it. The game is not well optimized yet, and before I say anything about the graphics let me inform you that I play dwarf fortress and I lose the none existent graphics, BUT kenshi has just ugly graphics, its just not ready yet. The gameplay is the only reason for you to buy the game. There aren't any games like this anywhere. You start from nothing, there are some scenarios that may be a little easier but whatever you do, the game is unforgiving. When you have a clan and start to be able to battle others and win it feels really good, slowly researching and run away from battles and try to loot dead bodies and really slowly build your army, yes this games is really good, it is just not finished, so not end game or a goal. BUT! the price is just.... not right. At least the developer still wants to finish the game and by buying the game at the current price you helping him even more. So if you don't care about the price and the graphics, this game is something new and has many things that deserve your attention.

Below average

There is some fun in this game. The idea is good, the design is average, but the implementation is very bad. Lots of annoying bugs, too much grind. I don't thing the game is worth even on sale.
