The learning curve of this game is somewhere between dark souls and eve online. It's not for everyone, but i agree it deserves much more attention, it is truly a gem
Most of my life I spend listening to music & I have not heard a song that comes near to this perfection. This is what I deem true art, it's composed so beautifully & I can tell it took insane amounts of effort & time to make it so.
I randomly stumbled across this unpolished gems just by browsing through the Steam market. That's also how I found Hades, 7D2D, and many other amazing early-access games with so much potential.
Man, I love Kenshi's ost and Kenshi itself. It sounds like Japanese music integrated into a western game. At some other parts it sounds like "This war of Mine" ost. Both mixing well with the pain, lost, hardships and fought hard for the extremely rewarding goals when you play the game. *_Who else agrees?_*
There's a war going on somewhere... Be it the ravenous cannibals hunting for the flesh of another. Be it the blood thirsty death worshiping fogmen. Be it the zealotry guiding the holy empire. Be it the starved bandits, of whom desperation has driven from shelter. Be it the dust bandit's greed. Or be it you, killing a lone wanderer if only for the clothes on his back. There's a war going on somewhere...
In love with this game and the music. So good. I always tear up at that really melancholic cello solo for the main theme. The whole tone is /almost/ hopeless, but life still finds a way, and there's that glimmer of hope, of survival, of unearthing the mysteries of this moon.
The music of this game is amazing, specially the main title theme, it's powerful and feels the desolation and the loneliness of the extense wasteland of kenshi, but also the tranquility or the sand dunes being softly cuddled by the winds. A masterpiece I must say, the music is really according to the context of the game. 12/10, because a 10 its not enough
the beginning and the end part are so awesome...the music in between is okay i guess...would be awesome to hear a full song from beginning and end. greetz
The music for this game is simply perfect, there's no denying that. It simply blends with the game's feels in a way I can't explain... the loliness, the danger, the tranquility of wandering the wasteland, it's all in the game's soundtrack too! PERFECT WORK!!! I bought the soundtrack a while ago and I must say it... IT'S A MASTERPIECE. Amazing work, Kole.
Cant wait to see where this all leads. Been aboard ever since early alpha, where there was no stories, no music, no real character customization. No it's became an awsome game and it's growing to be even better :) When the intro song was introduced in the game, I spent nearly 15 to 20 minutes listening to it on repeat :')
This game is like sims, sims city, a real time strategy war game, and a wasteland survival game all in one nothing like it. also he whole you are literally a nobody but become a god/emperor over time instead of like every other RPG out there where you can own everything right off the bat. brilliant idea.
You have to earn everything in most RPG games to my knowledge. I would say that there's no main storyline to force you into becoming "that hero" that everybody knows until you do something worthy, of your own volition.
One of the best under the radar RTS games ever. You play it how you wanna play it and with mods, you can make it pretty special. My favorite mod is the training weapons mod. Capture a bandit put it in a house with a cage, and practice fighting bandits to increase your survival odds. Controlled melee on your terms.
Hi, Kole! I can't get enough of your work you did on Kenshi. It's got to be the most original and evocative score I've ever heard from a video game. I'm wondering if you ever plan on releasing more from the recording sessions? There seemed to be a ton more I'd love to listen to. Also will you be working on Kenshi 2?
Best game ever! Now dear gamers, we all shell raise the bar. Too long game developers has made us shitty games. We were jumping from game to game desperate to find something to sink time, some good game. Now, this is the one. And every game developer should learn from this game. Everything that i wanted. I would like some space game that look nice like this, and have good game play like this one.
Are you looking for the cello part? If so, feel free to reach out to me here kolemusician.com/contact.html I think I have it on a hard drive somewhere :)

You were meant to be farmers, but you died as warriors.
aint life wonderful
I wish this game could get more attention.
It will. It's bound to.
I bought it last year and just started now and hell I don't regret it all my freetime now is playing Kenshi :D

Now that it's released, it definitely getting attention. Deservedly so.
Hoy, the release is bringing more attention. I wish I'd found it sooner.
Most of my life I spend listening to music & I have not heard a song that comes near to this perfection. This is what I deem true art, it's composed so beautifully & I can tell it took insane amounts of effort & time to make it so.
Thanks so much for your kind words; I'm very happy to hear you enjoy Kenshi's music :)
A random buy of a game but man what a gem of a find!
I dunno how you found this randomly but I envy your random finding skills.

The new music is pretty damned good and atmospheric, but I love that first song.

+Ostpocke Thanks so much! Really appreciate the support & am glad you like the music :)
One of the best videogame soundtracks I've EVER heard. Right up there with Dark Souls and Pokemon Black
The music for this game is simply perfect, there's no denying that.

+SuperWeirdfish That's awesome, thanks :D Glad the intro tune was interesting enough to listen to on a loop for that long!
+Kole Hicks you can count on me to buy it ;)
YOU'RE THE ONE THAT MADE IT? YOU BEST GG OUTSTANDING! I always turn off my own music whenever playing kenshi just because of how good it is :D
Thank you Austin, that's quite a nice compliment :D
+Kole Hicks keep up the great work ^_^
Настолько атмосферная музыка, аж одни эмоции хорошие даёт

SUGOI!!!!!
this guy should win an award at the 2018 game award show for KENSHI
This game is amazing, i've watched it build to up be one of my most favourite rpgs ever as it combines survival and tactics in one game :D
This music is sooo Epic...
Aaaaaw, it's gorgeous 😍
love it!

good song Kole Hicks
When you get the living shit kicked out of you and have your left arm eaten by a bonedog
The official channel has a video of these being recorded live.
the last part...so melancholic and yet somehow empowering. Is there any extended version?
It's goddamn buggy, it's goddamn laggy, it's goddamn unfair but still i LOVE this fucking game.
Don't worry Rubbaz... Someone will love you one day.

This guy is pretty talented, I went to look at his work and he seems to have disappeared after 2016, wonder if hes doing anything for kenshi 2

I hope you guys still gets employment in the indie gaming industry, your works are too good not to be used in games.
so gucci

Мелодии в начале и в конце интересные, а между ними просто набор звуков. Если бы была полная версия начальной мелодии, то был бы шедевр.
is it possible to use this song for a youtube video ?
does anyone have the sheet music for this?
Are you looking for the cello part? If so, feel free to reach out to me here kolemusician.com/contact.html I think I have it on a hard drive somewhere :)
I'm waiting for new updates because the newest one made the game unplayable for me even on the lowest settings.
