Kenshi review 20216/1/2023 STORYLINE: There isn’t much I can say about the story, as there isn’t one as such, but the game allows you to create your own story, become a mercenary that raids caravans going to nearby cities, build up a mining organisation, or become a farmer trying to survive in the desert. The research bench is used for researching new technologies in many different fields, such as farming, mining, and industry giving you the potential to develop an empire. No matter what game style you go for, at some point you’ll likely need to build yourself a base of operations and with it a research bench. In the end I resorted to building a farm near a city, so that when bandits did attack I’d just run to the city and let the guards take care of them for me, they even showed the courtesy of not looting the bodies so I could scavenge what I wished from the corpses. I didn’t find it frustrating as such, I just enjoyed the challenge which isn’t present in many games these days. Stupid, I know, but I hadn’t a clue what I was doing, but when I gathered resources, found a defendable flat area, built a house and research bench, and then some defences, the exact same thing happened to me, and again, and again, until I realised 2 hours had passed in the blink of an eye. STRATEGY: What I did, and what I believe many other people also did, was march my men straight out the front gates of the city I spawned in, built a little house, and was then immediately attacked by bandits and died. However, if you do run into trouble, there are many player written guides available which can help a great deal and further introduce you to the game so you’re better prepared to set out into the world. As the description above says, it’s an “ open-ended sandbox”. Immediately from here it’s up to you to decide what to do, you’re given no further instruction and have to explore your own path. *That’s a whooping 248+ miles this side of the Atlantic. You then go on to customize your character, and then spawn in any one of the many cities on the map (which is a very impressive 400 km). ![]() A bonus, but not a huge one, it just gives you a little head start into the game. I usually choose “The Freedom Seekers” option, as you immediately start with building supplies, a small team, and some money. When starting the game you can choose from 6 different scenarios, each with a small backstory, and different assets. It has been described as an open-ended RPG sandbox, which is just a bunch of words meaning that essentially you play as your character, and do what you want, without an end game objective. Game Play: The game is based in a desert setting with a Japanese style, where you have samurai and bandits with katanas. This is why in the title I included the update version of the game which I was playing when writing this review. As its still in development, it does have bugs, and things missing, but its developer, Lo-Fi Games, are continually releasing updates to improve and further develop the game. I came across Kenshi whilst browsing the section on Steam, which allows people to buy a game which is still under development, but usually for a reduced price.
