A mix of various genres. The game combines features of strategy and role-playing games. It takes place in a post-apocalyptic world mixed with oriental themes. The player can control a single character or up to fifty characters simultaneously. The game doesn’t limit the player in any way. He or she can complete quests, conduct trading or even build cities.
Kenshi is a sandbox combination of a real-time strategy game and a role-play. It is the debut title of the independent British studio Lo-Fi Games. The game was released on PC.
Kenshi for PC takes place in a reality that combines post-apocalyptic themes and oriental influences. The game features only a singleplayer mode. The player can control a single character or up to fifty characters simultaneously. The characters don’t have to remain close to each other. If the player wants to, he or she can send them to various distant locations.
The game world is gigantic and it features 400 square kilometers of areas. The player can move through long distances by using a quick travel system similar to one in Fallout – the progress of the party can be observed on a map. The virtual reality of the game is fully dynamic. The non-playable characters and factions that inhabit the land are living their own lives, even if the player has no with them.
The battles are fought in real time and are similar to beat ‘em up games. The characters feature unique fighting styles and special attacks. Statistics of characters can determine the outcome of battles as well. The game features RTS-like unit management system. Buying and upgrading buildings is important as well – this enables the player to, for example, fortify constructions.
The developers focused on realism. The characters controlled by the player aren’t some chosen ones. Instead, they start at the same level as other inhabitants of the world and they can be easily killed or wounded. The player must gain each achievement on his or hers own. At the same time, the game doesn’t limit the freedom of the player in any way. One can be evil or good, conduct business or steal from other characters. It is possible to an army or become a hermit who lives alone on a desert. The game even enables the player to build cities or destroy other ones.
A realistic health system makes the game more interesting. A character, whose leg is wounded will hobble and slow down the whole group. Losing an eye will worsen the sight and a wounded arm will make it harder to use a sword. If a character bleeds, they can out and the smell of blood will lure other predators. Bad physical condition, bad weather, heavy equipment or lack of water will increase fatigue, thus reducing combat abilities. Luckily, it is possible to replace a lost limb with a cybernetic part. However, this won’t be cheap.

Game Ratings for Kenshi Video Game.
GameGrin: 7.5 / 10 by Simon Brown
An intriguing RPG/Survival hybrid sandbox that invites you to experiment in the world it presents. Some technical hiccups interrupt the open world and the freeform nature definitely isn't for everyone but if you are after something different, Kenshi is the very definition of that.
GRYOnline.pl: 7.5 / 10 by Sebastian Purtak
Kenshi has hard difficulty. Kenshi is bugged as hell. Kenshi demands patience. But in return, Kenshi offers opportunities and freedom that you won’t find anywhere in the RPG genre. If Kenshi was a AAA title with an unlimited budget, huge team, and high-quality design it would deserve a much higher praise.
Chalgyr's Game Room: 7.5 / 10 by Robert Risdon
Kenshi is a unique blend of pure squad-based RPG leveling set in a sandbox world where your goal is to first survive then thrive and it is an extremely difficult title. Not only is it difficult it is also extraordinarily complex yet with an dated but useful interface that leaves no vital information too far out of grasp, with graphics that are both complex and at times, stunning while reminiscent of mid-late 2000's isometric viewpoint RPG titles (I believe it has graphics comparable to those found in the Dungeon Siege franchise) yet do not let the graphics fool you; Kenshi is deep and highly complex and at times feels like a management / sim game with RPG aspects built into it. This is a good thing and the brilliant mix of various game genres has me eyeballing their update notes as I am itching to get back in there … even if it means my squad ends up eaten by cannibals.
