How is Kenshi Real

[@Agamemnon-w9x]

Kenshi is definitely one of the best games I've played! Been drifting since January, and still playing it even today on several different playthroughs. Anyone that's curious should buy this game, can't wait for Kenshi 2!

[@bigfreakinfrog]

Oh my gosh it's gonna be so good 😵 They actually got a team now lol

[@SoulbreakerNB]

the world died 3-4 times. Then you start your Kenshi playthrough.

[@lsswappedcessna]

It's a post-post-post-post apocalyptic grimdark sci fi RPG with RTS elements. Chris Hunt needs to share whatever he was smoking between 2006 and 2018.

[@eyekhan6099]

I unlocked the shackles of some rebel swordsmen (bandit faction) and healed them up. They turned green to me. When I fought a skimmer near them, they came to help me fight it. I also started improving relations with the sand ninjas and blood raiders by bandaging them when there was at least one of them awake to see it and feeding them while locked in cages.

[@bigfreakinfrog]

I like these words I'm hearing. 🥴

[@Masked_Official]

mods?

[@eyekhan6099]

@@Masked_Official at the time, I was playing without mods. and to be clear, only the rebel swordsmen I unlocked and healed turned green. the others were still hostile and would attack me.

[@Masked_Official]

@@eyekhan6099 thanks for the answer! I have like 300+ hrs since I commented. Amazing game!

[@eyekhan6099]

@@Masked_Official sorry for the delayed response. hard yes on Kenshi being an amazing game! there is so much to explore and do before you even add mods.

[@kazothearcane]

I'm gonna be real with you. This game looks like my own personal hell but the way you described it has me itching to play it. I haven't seen a game like this since Neo Scavenger.

[@bigfreakinfrog]

It has a learning curve but at some point it just "clicked." I dont wanna say go buy it off that. Definitely wait for a sale cuz this game just eats hours, might not be able to get a refund to really experience it. I personally love this game but ive only seen like half of the game lol

[@NotHappening-b8t]

i hate pvp games, etc but i have found kenshi to be my favorite game. the few things it lacks mods fill in. and or fix.

[@bigfreakinfrog]

@@NotHappening-b8t Kenshi 2 gonna be crazy

[@xzxxx-km4vy]

After a week of modding it and turning it into the ultimate post POST apocalypse survival game i must say there is no other game like this. The fact you can kidnap people and put them on peeler machines to take off their skin so you can wear it or make your followers wear it already should be a major selling point. Enslave people, smuggle hash trough the surreal lands, get kidnapped by religious fanatics, the opportunities are endless in this game PLAY IT.

[@plopcornmachine2375]

It's a good time, yo.

[@chrysophade210]

straight up get excited when i see your videos theyre incredible

[@bigfreakinfrog]

Yo! Thanks so much ♥ I got a little nervous about this one because it was less structured and less scripted.

[@Dairypapi1]

A random cut to a kenshi character is untapped comedy potential

[@bigfreakinfrog]

👁👁

[@cyverbunny]

if you keep healing bandits after every encounter, the relationship will eventually turn positive. I'm on +7 with the hungry bandits rn because I always bandaged them up. also, the only way to recruit random npcs is by freeing them from slavery. they have to be conscious when you unlock their shackles and then they have a 30% chance to join you. it's a bit fickle but I already got one bandit to join me that way. pro tip: follow a group of slave traders until they come across bandits and enslave them, then unlock their shackles before they even reach the camp. as soon as you do that they should turn allies and you'll be able to pick them up and carry them to safety. Ive been trying for so long to make this work, it's sadly very rng based and they will mostly just run away on their own. there's also a chance they'll join you if you buy them from a slave market and then free them. if anyone's considering to get kenshi FUCKING DO IT its the best experience of your life. also there's tons of mods that expand upon gameplay and add everything you could possibly need.

[@bigfreakinfrog]

Thats a sick tip 🤘

[@KindlyMino]

I have always seen Kenshi from the outside in, but your review was amazing. I feel like I have never seen some of these issue or things you talked about. Granted I have never been too heavy into Kenshi.

[@bigfreakinfrog]

Aw thanks 🥰 I was feeling super nervous about this one. It didnt have a rigid structure, just stream of conciousness put to paper.

[@alexrosu4405]

I'm still playing my longest campaign ever 2000+ days in-game. My guy rose from a starving nobody in the Border Zone to ruler of all that stretches beyond the horizon. As soon as I spawned in the Hub I started power leveling, first my athletics and swimming to 90 this meant that no matter what my main guy would survive. I then trained my stealth in the Bast area was pretty easy since there's alot of UC and HN squads duking it out. I then "purchased" a high level crossbow (expanded crossbows mod or w/e that adds a shitload of crossbow variants) and ample stacks of bolts, skiddadled up to the leviathan coast and power leveled my crossbow + perception + dexterity by getting leviathans stuck in the terrain and just shooting them. After that it was time prove the world of Kenshi that I've become a man. Ran all the way to the Bugmaster's Throne, snuck into his chamber at night and shot him down. Handed him to dommy mommy Esata, claimed my rewards, a small fortune and my future bride Seto. I also got Ruka from Admag and Beep from Mongrel and that was the main squad I rolled with from there. I went on various adventures in all four corners of the world. Did some bounties, did research along the way... exterminated the fishmen. And as time passed my protagonists reached legendary status.. all their main stats in the 90s, tier VI research and plenty of cats and gear. It was time to settle down.. I bought the big outpost building in Heft and started an adventuring shop/bar/inn with it's own clinic. A place where you could come in rest, get patched up, have a drink spend the night and buy supplies in the morning for your adventure. Everything was produced in house due to the miracle of science.. the bar was doing so well I opened up one in each UC city and thus the foundation of my Empire was laid. After opening a successful business chain and doing some leg work for the UC and Trader's Guild I bought my nobility ( another mod, heavily modded playthrough ) from Tengu and started recruiting samurai to my cause.. pretty soon I had a whole army (200 samurai + 20 sniperbots I got from the sniper valley). A whole lotta mouths to feed so I wasted no time and set up a forward base right near Okran's shield which served as a staging point for a full scale invasion. I could rest, train and gear up my army here, looked really cool having 50 recruits using the training equipment in tandem as the smiths and cooks worked tirelessly to equip and feed the army. With all this might I still couldn't take Okran's shield head on so I build ramparts with turrets as close as I could and drew them in slowly whittling their numbers until I was ready to cut the snake's head. The invasion progressed slowly ( due to reactive world mod + mod to make HN stronger + high squad settings ) but I employed gorillo tactics, carrying out small raids against their mines and farms, slowly starving them out. Then one city fell after the other and the holy nation crumbled under it's own weight. With the religious fanatics out of the way the fertile valley connecting the world together was opened up. And this is where I am now building the infrastructure in those fertile lands.. there's one huge city in the middle being bisected by the river + main road, this is my capital and I have built outposts ( after my adventure bar model) all along the way from Bark to Stack with dedicated squad members living there a shopkeeper, workers, guards, runners etc. At this point I'm pretty much playing the game like an RTS just watching the dots ( 1000 squad mates mod ) move on the map while my main guy sits in on his throne with Seto by him, Ruka as elite bodyguard and Beep as spymaster/hitman. I plan to slowly take over the whole world( except The Swamp because it's a logistical nightmare ) and rebuild civilization in the truest sense. Next I will conquer the Shek, use them to create a new fighting force to complement my main army ( heavily armored Shek warriors with planks for cleaving ) with which I will finally destroy the UC and Traders Guild, (I already have sleeper cells in each major city, the bars ), free all the slaves, march my massive army right up Tengu's stairs capture him, capture the rest of the nobles tie them to poles in the public square in Heft and have the ex-slaves beat them up. I have an even longer story in mind where after my dude becomes Emperor of Kenshi he starts experimenting with arcane technologies ( lotta research mods that add nifty high tech stuff ) he becomes obsessed with the old world, I still have the Bugmaster captured in a small hut outside sho-battai. I will build a secluded lab down in the Ashlands and there experiment on the Bugmaster ( a mod that makes him look scary and ups his stats, 150 hp, combat speed, regen ) trying to uncover the secret to immortality. As time goes by he slowly grows insane being consumed by his quest for eternal life. Growing ever desperate he decides to upload his consciousness into the Bugmaster's body (no fancy mod I just use recruit prisoner mod and release my former main char) , naively thinking he erased every trace of the demented Bugmaster's mind. After coming back from the Ashlands some more stuff will happen ( i haven't thought of that yet ) but he will grow ever more cruel and sadistic, replacing his limbs with god tier (another mod) robotics on top of the Bugmaster's abilities. Wandering the realm mindlessly slaughtering everyone in his way, he becomes a monster that needs to be stopped. All this culminates in an epic end battle where his former squad mates his friends his family will face him. And there's no good ending no matter the outcome of the battle, if the Emperor wins he will simply become a walking apocalypse, roaming the land as the prosperous civilization he once built crumbles around him ( basically a third fall for the the world of Kenshi ) and if his adjutants win they will become local warlords vying for bits of territory of the once Grand Empire sparking numerous civil wars over the years, until the world finally reverts back it's lawless state. THANKS FOR READING!

Oh my god you wrote a book lmao. To be obsessive enough to post this in a small comment section, YOU should make a videos or somethin. I really love how stupidly customized an individual's run of Kenshi is. It all feels so special, personal, and this comment is proof.

Amazing video. I got Kenshi a while ago now but haven't played much and youve now given me a reason to go back. I started out as a skeleton and had no clue what to do and I left the town I was in to explore and any time I came across other people they'd always beat me up until I was 'unconsious'.

[@bigfreakinfrog]

Skeletons have the biggest strengths and weaknesses for sure. Its hard to find a repair kit early on but no food required!

[@forlornfoe]

Always a pleasure to see someone enjoying Kenshi, good video with its pros and cons. A slight correction to game's world simulation: Kenshi only simulates the areas in vicinity of player-controlled characters, about the size of where you walk close enough to a city to discover it on map. That is still quite a large area, but the rest of the continent will stay static until you run by at 50 mph with your cyber-legs (and at 3x game speed sometimes crash the whole world lol).
