There is the ability (nicely simplified) to build your own encampments and farms, drawing merchants and travellers to you but also the risk of brigand attacks that will need to be dealt with. I barely had enough time to grab a pair of ragged trousers before the corpses had vanished! I even tried my usual tactic of luring bandits to a town and waiting for the guards to kill them so that I could loot the corpses, but the game was one step ahead of me, the guards (upon slaying the last of the bandits) ransacked the corpses and carried the bodies off to be disposed of. Numerous times I had to take massive detours because large groups of wandering bandits caught sight of me and chased me for the food and water they thought I held (spoiler alert, I didn’t…I had a stick). This is not a game where you can instantly kick ass, level up within an hour or two and get a band together to assault towns, pillaging as you go, no sirree, as a purely single-player mouse and keyboard-driven RTS / RPG hybrid, careful planning is rewarded here. A (very) open-world experience, Kenshi is set in an alternate world of a size comparable to Daggerfall and filled with different factions, towns, religions and lore which is drip-fed through conversations and found books.Īt the start of your adventure, you are able to choose and alter almost every aspect of your chosen character, including their background and initial situation which affects how your game starts.Īs mentioned, the game was built over a twelve year period and as such Kenshi is quite standard visually, although character models are surprisingly detailed when zoomed-in but the surrounding landscapes can feel empty and vast when travelling, this is a one-man passion project and the in-game mechanics are quite astonishing.
