A game that has been in Early Access for 3 years isn’t supposed to get people excited. Kenshi may be the exception. Kenshi arrived to the Steam marketplace in March of 2013, and where most games tend to die out over the course of a two year span, Kenshi thrived.
Kenshi is a free-roaming squad based RPG. Focusing on open-ended sandbox gameplay features rather than a linear story. This is all for the betterment of the game. You may travel alone as a wanderer or perhaps hire a squad of 50 men and build a town out in the desert. Or at least in the beginning. Now they added new biomes. They created a new path guiding system, and upgraded the fighting mechanic. They even gave us a crafting system over the years.
Lo-Fi Games single creation might be the best example of Early Access working ever, and soon it will be out in a Beta. This is probably more exciting to me then to most people but a successful Kickstarter campaign and a successful early access bid is what makes this new world of gaming so exciting. Kenshi’s developer Koomatzu posted this saying:
“You may have noticed we have been very quiet over the last few months without releasing any updates. The reason is we are on our final run to the beta release with the new world map!
This means all core features and content will be in the game and we can finally focus entirely on stability, bug-fixing and polish. (Features and content may still be added in the future, but not until after a full stable 1.0 release)”
If a fan really needs anything more than that.
The thriving community has responded extraordinarily well and will continue over the coming months.
