I don't know if this counts. But I want a Kenshi like game set in Morrowind. And I want a Morrowind like game set in the Kenshi universe.
Love them both as they are though.
Honestly, I'd like a Kenshi-like game set in damn near any setting.
Like, the Kenshi setting is interesting, but in terms of gameplay...it's essentially unique from a gameplay standpoint. I'm still a bit amazed that nobody has made other games in the genre.
There is a sequel that is being worked on and will come out someday...
Kenshi Scrolls, Kenshi/Fallout, Kenshi Wars, Kenshi Effect, Halo: Kenshi, Kenshilands, Kenshi-Life...
There are so many awesome settings you could make a Kenshi game in.
Oh I'd pay so much for Halo: Kenshi. Didn't even know it was something I wanted until I read this lol.
I tried getting into Kenshi twice and failed. I don't like hand holdy games, but that felt like being pushed of a cliff with no supports. What's the pull for everyone here? I want to take another shot at it
Personally, I like games where you start as a relative nobody and have to claw your way to success. I enjoy how in Kenshi you start having the snot beaten out of you by absolutely everything, but can eventually have the skills and equipment to be taking out whole factions.
You are right about the lack of support though. I think the intention is to play to fail and learn from mistakes, but it's a harsh lesson when you wander into a new area only to be knocked out and imprisoned by cannibals. I don't have the fortitude to keep failing, so end up just using the wiki at times.
I mean just save and reload a bunch. That's what I do lol
I would probably damn near never leave the house if that game were to exist.
I hadn't heard of this game somehow, thanks!
Prepare to either bounce off a game harder than anything before, or lose the next three years of your life. Or, possibly, somehow, both.
That would be on-brand for me lol
I bounced after 10 minutes. It just wasn't for me.
I only skimmed a couple reviews because I like going into games blind. My favorite game experience I’ve ever played was *Ragnarok Online”, which had basically no quests or goals other than “be in the world and make a name for yourself amongst all the other godly player characters who sit around and chat wearing hats.”
No direction or NPCs telling you what to do. Move one map over to explore a new place and get one-shotted by a flower from across the map doing 5x as much damage per hit as your max health. Then come back after you’ve explored for 40 hours and kick fuckin flower ass for eight hours and lose a day of your life grinding and chatting.
I think Kenshi might be my kinda game.
If you like self-directed fun, yeah, you'll probably jam with it pretty hard. Just be prepared to lose a lot of fights; collecting scar tissue is basically how you level up.
You should definitely watch the General Sam videos of Kenshi. He makes it fun but also doesn't hide how much of a bitch this game can be. He's also probably why I got pulled into the game so hard.
