70,000 Steam players are excited: You've probably never heard of this open-world RPG – simply because it's so special.
Yes, Kenshi looks like crap. For many it is still the best game in the world
Kenshi is a real cult insider tip. The Open-world role-playing game with a huge sandbox and graphics that make Morrowind look beautiful, have been inspiring more and more players for years – at least those who don't give up immediately after the first half hour.

A unique experience awaits you in Kenshi, but you have to work for it literally: First you have to turn a blind eye to the graphics. Then you have to get used to the complex systems and not despair immediately when you die. Dying is part of Kenshi. Or mining. Or be a slave. Or be an assassin. Or become world ruler (but then you really have to play for 400 hours).
On Steam you can get the single-player RPG with a 60 percent discount for 10.79 euros (view on Steam). The discount is valid until July 11th.

What makes Kenshi so special
Several players on Steam can boast over 400 hours of Kenshi – and that in a pure single-player RPG. And what is the magic of this graphically clumsy game? Freedom, and that unique storiesthat you will write for yourself with each playthrough. In Kenshi, you start out as an absolute loser: you can't do anything and you look like nothing. But what you make of it is entirely up to you.

You can do any job you can think of. Just like NPCs have all sorts of jobs, their own characters and daily routines and goals. Kenshi is set in a brutal, desert-like post-apocalypse where even a goat can kill you if you're not careful. The path to becoming a trader is just as difficult as the path to becoming a fighter or a slave or a miner; or any job you can think of in Kenshi.
The AI of the NPCs and the events in the world are also what make Kenshi such a gripping adventure. You simply cannot predict what will happen – similar to games like Dwarf Fortress or Rimworld. If you love having your own personal adventures in role-playing games, then you should give Kenshi a try. And watch YouTube videos to prepare for the game.
