Kenshi gameplay video1/16/2024 ![]() ![]() It doesn’t tell you what apocalyptic events turned the world into what it is today in fact, “Kenshi” doesn’t even tell you what world you’re on. “Kenshi” stands as the perfect example of immersive, implicit world-building. That isn’t to say this stylistic combination falls flat - rather, “Kenshi” provides a unique and memorable experience almost entirely through the execution of its stylistic choices alone. This makes “Kenshi” feel like a blend of high fantasy and post-apocalypse. “Kenshi” can often feel like a clash of genres - on one hand, society is mostly based around sword-and-crossbow combat and medieval social structures on the other hand, robots, space lasers and ancient factories are abundant throughout the world. Lastly, the United Cities are opposed by militant, anti-slavery abolitionists who hate the wealthy slaveholders that run the United Cities. ![]() The Holy Nation is juxtaposed by a cohort of radical feminist ninja warriors who oppose the Holy Nation’s racist, sexist theocracy. The Shek Kingdom contains a smaller group of Shek who believe that constant war will inevitably be self destructive. These factions are all opposed by other minor factions that you can also ally yourself with. These three kingdoms are locked in a state of war, allowing you to ally yourself to or make enemies with any of them. The United Cities are a collection of slave mongering samurai who are ruled by a few wealthy elite. Another option, the Holy Nation, is a group of racist, misogynistic cultists who don’t ever seem to shut up or stop trying to evangelize you - you know … incels. You can join the Shek Kingdom, a race of warrior-folk who just go around fighting each other. You can play as a drug runner, a scavenger, a hunter - if you can think it, you can play it in “Kenshi.”Ī complex-yet-intuitive faction system only adds to the amount of ways you can play. You can play as a small band of warriors who train to be the best warriors in the entire world. You can play as a merchant who travels city-to-city buying and selling goods. You can play as an assassin or thief who makes their living by sneaking around, stealing and fencing goods. You can create a small, thriving town to grow food and produce goods to sell in the market. For the vast majority of the game, it is entirely up to you, the player, to decide what to do and how to do it.Īnd that’s a lot of things. The closest thing that “Kenshi” has to quests are optional bounties that you can capture and turn in for a reward. “Kenshi” gives you no quests and no objectives, and the few tutorials you get are all about gameplay mechanics. I can’t write about the story because there is no story. ![]()
