About

Kenshi is a sandbox, open-world RPG with real-time strategy elements set in a sprawling post-apocalyptic world. The game invites players into a harsh, “sword-punk” landscape where survival is brutally realistic and there is no designated hero - only what you make of yourself.

Gameplay centers on freeform, squad‑based progression in a seamless world spanning approximately 870 km². Players start as weak individuals, recruit companions from factions, develop skills through actions like combat or crafting, and may eventually construct bases or own towns. The game’s systems include detailed limb damage (with prosthetics as replacements), dynamic world states that respond to major character events, procedurally interactive zones with varying terrain and weather, and resource-driven settlement building.
