Nov. 2024

I started as a thief, spiraled into becoming Pablo Escobar. Started kidnapping officials from around the world. And managed to ruin a world that was already ruined twice. Excellent game.

My Story in Kenshi so far. I made a female starter character. Started in the Hub and just went out into the desert. Met my first Starving Bandits and got knocked out. They took my food. Found a bar to restock my supplies and discovered some ore nearby. Mined for starter money, while narrowly avoiding more bandits. Took my meagre earnings to built myself a base, but got a visit from a patrol of the Holy Nation. They reported me to their inquisition and returned with reinforcements to burn me for being a woman. But I knew the area by now and baited Black Dragon Ninjas into their raid. The inqusition won, but suffered heavy losses and had to retreat, which left me in a field of wounded and dead. I took their equipment as loot while the crippled survivors got eaten by scavenging Bonedogs. I vowed to take my revenge on the Holy Nation and destroy them without leveling up other troops, just with this one character. So I started training, beat up Dust Bandits and explored more of the world. My travels yielded better loot and better tech, my outpost was growing, and then I found a rare crossbow. In a dessicated world of unarmored targets, speed, range and a copious amounts of bleed inflicting bolts are king. I began to utterly destroy bandits with this crossbow. Improved my stats and hunted down bigger bountys to measure the strength of my character. After some time, I found myself in the Ashlands, an even more desolate lategame area. In the ruins of a fallen civilisation, I stumbled upon a powerful "skeleton" (think mad max samurai terminator). Kiting him to hell and back, I somehow managed to knock him out... and took him back home with me. Now I'm very much tempted to return his monstrous weapon to him and throw him in the capital of the Holy Nation, so he can nuke their cities. So yeah… I am about to start a war. 10/10 This game is amazing.

In just 22 hours, this has been my experience: Started with 1000c at the Hub, a run-down criminal dump with only a working bar. I bought a little food and got to mining. I went through the "get beat down, toughen up, build skills, and acquire gear" grind with the character I forgot to rename before hitting confirm in the editor, "Feck." Feck was a loner for a long time. Built a shack, a storm house, stone quarry, stone processing, and a few other production facilities by himself. After awhile I found an NPC who wanted to be free of his master and I paid his contract. Voth joined me and we built a walled camp worth being proud of. We faced countless bandits and wildlife along the way, but we did it. No rest for the wicked, though. We set to making steel and crafting weapons, and probably managed 15 swords and had 8 in the chest to sell when 20 black dragon ninjas showed up to beat us bloody and toss us out of our camp. Feck and Voth recovered and launched a two-man counter attack after some rest, but were beaten again. We recruited mercs and the lot of us managed to whittle their numbers, but now there's "hungry bandits" trying to edge in and our heroes were ousted again. I have spent the last several hours recruiting a handful of new characters to train and arm as elite warriors. Feck and Voth are hardened killers who outmatch any 2 black dragon ninjas. I don't care if we can recover our base, as long as we can make them regret taking what we worked for, I don't care if it burns. So yeah, you could say I'm deeply invested.

Criminally underrated and HIGHLY addictive. There is Slavery, Racism, Racism against Racists, Racism against people who MIGHT be racist, more slavery, robotic limbs, discrimination against the lower class, discrimination against the upper class, discrimination just in general, MORE slavery, fish people who will eat you alive on a pole, blue bug people who will eat you alive on a pole and worship the person eating you, bald doughy bastards who don't wear clothes who will also eat you, massive murder giraffe-dinosaur hybrids with beaks who will eat you, crab worshipers, beep, a deranged autistic robot surrounded by headless simps, and did I mention slavery? An absolute masterpiece, 100/10.

Be prepared to die, a lot. Once you get past the high learning curve its a really rewarding experience. Lots of freedom to play how you want. a brutal game that finds interesting ways to kill you, and your friends, and your dog. If you can learn to survive long enough you can become World changing character. I started as a guy with a dog, in my travels id get beaten up, my dog too. So we got some party members, got stronger, one day a group of Holy Nation cultists (douches) attacked us for having a woman in our group with a weapon. they killed most of my party, they killed my dog. John Wick i am not. but i wanted revenge. I fled holy nation lands, began to build an army made allies with other factions, began hunting holy nation patrols for fun. eventually stood toe to toe with mr high and mighty himself. As soon as he dropped i scooped him up and ran him to the deadlands. dropped him in a pit of acid and stood by to make sure he died. For my dog, Mr. Scruffy.
