Game Overview

Kenshi is an open-world, sandbox RPG that drops you into a harsh desert environment where survival is key. As you navigate this unforgiving world, you'll be free to choose your own path - will you become a trader, thief, rebel, or warlord? The game's focus on freedom and choice means you can play however you want, from building a base to starting up a business. But with great power comes great responsibility, and the environment is full of dangers that can and will ruin your life if you're not careful.

Gameplay revolves around exploration, character customization, and base-building. You'll research new technologies, craft new gear, and upgrade your defenses as you work to build a name for yourself in this unforgiving world. And when things go wrong (which they inevitably will), you'll need to carry your wounded squadmates to safety and get them back on their feet.

What sets Kenshi apart from other RPGs is its commitment to realism and authenticity. The game's medical system, for example, means that a character with a wounded leg will actually limp or crawl, affecting the entire party's movement and combat performance. Similarly, your characters' stats are affected by equipment, encumbrance, blood loss, injuries, and starvation - making every decision feel consequential.

In Kenshi, you're not the chosen one - you're just a regular character trying to survive in a world that doesn't care about you. And that's what makes it so compelling.
