Kenshi is a free-roaming role-playing game developed and published by Lo-Fi Games in 2018. This game offers an expansive and inhospitable open world where you can control one or multiple characters and experience a unique blend of RPG and RTS elements.
Gameplay Kenshi is a single-player sandbox game set in a vast 3D environment with a freely movable camera. You command one or more characters, engaging in various activities such as base building, crafting, combat, sneaking, stealing, trading, enslaving, treating injuries, and exploring. The game’s open-ended nature allows you to craft your own adventure.
World and Story Set in a world that has suffered past catastrophic events, Kenshi features a blend of advanced technologies and medieval aesthetics. While robots and electricity are present, the inhabitants use swords and crossbows, with a noticeable Japanese influence evident in weapons like katanas and naginatas. The game lacks a traditional story mode but provides lore through scattered books and research notes.
The Unique RPG and RTS Blend Kenshi combines RPG and RTS elements, allowing you to control and assign orders to multiple characters. You can build structures, gather resources, and specialize your squad members in various tasks such as smithing, farming, and resource collection. Characters have individual attributes and equipment, with their skills improving through experience.
Advanced Damage System One of the game’s standout features is its advanced damage system. Unlike traditional hit points, each body part has its own health pool, and damage affects characters differently. For example, an injured arm impairs combat ability, while a damaged leg slows movement or forces crawling. Severe damage leads to unconsciousness, blood loss, and potentially death if untreated.
Craft Your Own Adventure Kenshi offers various starting scenarios, from a lone wanderer with minimal resources to a full squad. Your chosen scenario influences the difficulty but doesn’t limit your ability to develop and achieve goals. You can hire additional squad members and adapt your strategy as needed.
