Kenshi is a story-generator RPG where you play as a thief, trader, mercenary, bounty hunter, farmer, or anything else your heart desires. It is one of the most replayable games I have ever played and I have spent hours in the Kenshi desert wasteland.

I used to agree with your description of the Kenshi interface, but then I tried Soulmask... the true aids of all interfaces.
Why leave this comment if the video is privated?
I discovered this game by total accident, and I swear, never regretted playing. THIS GAME EVEN HAS MODDING, so that's a huge plus.
Some of those mods are insane. One of my favorite ways to play is what i call "Chaos Space Marine Recruitment" where i add some mutant races to the bandits, new tokyo ghoul bandits, and start off as a chaos space marine. With the recruit prisoners mod i beat the captured bandits until they pledge their souls to chaos. Crazy game. got 4k hours in it.
The mods are a HUGE part of this game. I actually made quite a few myself and for me that was big deal since I practically don't have any coding skills whatsoever but this game comes with it's own modding tool.
I want to finish my first play thru without mods, I’m currently 60 hours in and I have a feeling I have a long way to go
did you ever try the modding tool? it's so easy to mod simple stuff that I made some of my own juts to suit my playstyle. takes a few hours to understand and then you can change everything about kenshi :D
You ever tried rimworld?
the graphics are honestly pretty good when you consider the fact that this was a game made primarily by one guy over the course of 12 years
the game is honestly gorgeous, there is such a contrast between different areas
@@SirMorNo i actually started playing not too long ago, and havent seen much outside of the great desert, but im super excited to explore more of this games amazing world
@@ckopen7192 your in for a treat, I definitely recommend the loading mod for faster loading, since the world is hand crafted, there is many different environments that do have a lot of history you can get from it, not necessarily" here is what happened, in your face", but you can see the history as part of the landscape
@@SirMorNo im excited! its been a long time since a games world has sucked me in the way that kenshi has, and im glad to know that there are still so much more to experience with that game
@@ckopen7192 I will say that if you start a outpost, be prepared to be attacked hard, and also don't be afraid of saving often, it's very useful,I prefer the lone swordsman approach and slowly build up my retinue of characters. If you need a mesh refresh during the game, like objects/characters are stuck, or building aren't build able. It's a quick 3 key, starts with Alt but I don't recall the other 2
never thought id see robokast make a video on kenshi but unexpected suprises are always the best
I feel like every surprise is unexpected, but ok.
@@yungapplemoose735 well some surprises are expected, like a birthday party, or a celebration, or your girlfriend leaving you because you're a nihilistic prick that reads to deep into things
Context: the goats/animals
The general rule is, if something is strong enough to survive in the wild, it can kill you
Also, robo limbs = speed
Oh boy. My story?
When I first started, I was a mere wanderer with nothing but rags and a rusty stick. It took some time but I began to build a party. We quickly became thieves with decent combat performance and eventually, we became a town. From a mere group of 5 petty thieves stealing gear and food just to get by, to a small self-sufficient town with farmers, cooks, smiths and other workers, we rose from the ground up.
I made a squad specifically for combat consisting of 7 people to take on dangerous tasks:
Tengu, Lynn (formerly known as Fish), and Streak are the backbone and muscle of the squad. I had recruited the 3 of them at the same time in a bar and since then, they've been inseperable battle sisters. Then there was Hamut and Garr. One volunteered to come with me, and the other was one of my town's former builders whose combat stats I felt were wasted staying in the outpost. Both had decent thievery skills. The sixth is a Shek woman known as Set. She was an escaped slave who attacked us on our way back to the outpost. After convincing her, she now runs around with us as a combat medic. Finally there was I, Davkes. The squad leader with stats above the rest.
Together, we called ourselves the Vanguard and we thought ourselves invincible.
No passing patrol or beast could kill us or knock us out without being annihilated in their futile attempt.
One day, as the Vanguard returned to the outpost with weapons from an ancient armory, a man dressed in simple clothing came up to me. His name was Thumper and he came looking for us to join our ranks. I was hesitant at first because he seemed weak and I didn't really have a need for another mouth to feed. Nonetheless, I reluctantly said yes and made him our second medic in the Vanguard. I gave him what spare armor I could and one of our recently looted weapons. Now there was 8 of us.
At first, he moved and fought slowly due to the heavy armor, and a blunt weapon to fit his best weapon stat. It was almost laughable as he swung that thing over his head in vain effort. As a field medic though, Thumper performed his duty well. He kept the combat squad alive time and time again even in the most perilous and dire treks. He spent many nights under the nightsky around the campfire with the others as they healed in the camping beds he had carried along. After countless battles with bandits, guards, slavers, and beasts alike, he was now able to hold his own and keep up with the squad. Interestingly, whenever we returned to base, he would always seem to go straight to the medical building where a woman named Pia (the medic of the original 5 thieves now turned town doctor) resided. I think they liked each other. She didn't seem to mind having him around.
Soon, we had explored every ancient building there was to see in the South and Southwest side of the map. Everyone had new gear and our workstations were upgraded as a result. Yet, our outpost was in need of more research resources and so we started exploring further North, away from the safety of our home. We began exploring through Hiver territory, Holy Lands, and the Fog to reach locations we had learned from previous ruins. Each time, we returned with many riches of the ancients but it was never enough.
One day, we went further North than ever before and encountered a sizable group of berserkers. After suffering moderate injuries and fighting them off, we kept going only to be ambushed by a group of cannibals. Now our injuries were beginning to show as Tengu and Set were knocked out during the battle and we needed to find a place to rest. Along the way, Thumper had fallen slightly behind everyone else. It was at this moment, while we all looked away, another group of cannibals knocked him out, took him away toward their village and locked him in a blood stained cage. We gave chase, but our broken bodies and heavy armor kept us from catching up to the wicked flesh-eating assailants before they got there. Fearful thoughts engulfed our minds.
Despite our injuries, we did not stop. We couldn't. We charged toward their village with weapons in hand, and rage in our hearts. As we approached, one of the savages were beating Thumper in his cage. He screamed and wailed with each whack at him. My emotions were now a mix of anger, disgust, and sorrow. Their village came out to meet us and we fought. Without any mercy, we swiftly wiped out the village, freed Thumper, and patched him up.. but something was wrong..
Thumper was dying. His blood levels were dropping despite Set's healing. Our poor friend is now bleeding to death and it seems he left the camping beds back at the outpost.. Now we were desperate to find a town but we knew where nothing was in this new land. Every place we went was just a cannibal infested hellhole. After running throughout the night fighting cannibals and bandits looking for a place, we came across an old village of rubble and dirt. We went inside what looked like an old Orkan church. I checked the map to see how far the nearest friendly town was. His blood levels were already too low. He wouldn't make the trip. There was no chance of saving him anymore..
I had Tengu, Lynn, and Streak guard the door. Garr and Hamut stood behind Set and I.
We laid Thumper on the floor of the ruined church, and took off his and our helmets.
Our youngest member would die minutes later.
I took back the Edge 3 blunt weapon I gave him originally, and Set took his medical supplies. I placed him in the back of the church ruin so the cannibals and bandits won't find him. The thought of returning to base and not seeing him run to Pia filled me with a great sense of remorse. In respect to him, I left him with his full specialist grade Samurai Armor and his secondary katana, as well as one food ration to acknowledge he will forever be one of us.
Now we were back to 7 squad members..
We called ourselves the Vanguard..
and we thought ourselves invincible..
RIP Thumper.
I still visit that building to leave one food ration and a katana for him in other play throughs.
I aint even play this game and this story is investing as hell. goddamn. This story has made me actually purchase the game and I'm installing it right now
RIP Thumper
RIP Thumper 😢
@@gojiking2790 how's your experience with the game so far? I find myself in fimilar situation to yours but I'm still unsure about the purchase:)
My favorite minor thing in the game is banter between party members. Also Ruka is the best girl and must be protected
Ruka got clapped by an elder beak thing in my current game. She Bled out before we could barely kill it 😢
:) I always end up with a strong Shek presence in my away team, and Ruka is always the first one I run into when turning in a bounty from somewhere around the Hub, because I'm certainly not going to hand anybody over to the Okranites. The dialogues with the flatskins are just too good to miss out on...
i love the bard and the ex holy nation guy exactly for this reason :)
Ruka is the best. Seto is a close second.
@@IIISWILIII F in chat for Ruka, the best Shek Waifu. 😢
There is a mod call “take over the world” with three different types which of course allows you to take the towns/cities of kenshi. All you have to do is kill the leader then it’s yours
nah I love having different allies each playthrough and have them take over those cities and see what they do with them.
I don't need to manage each city :D
This game looks so realistic in his difficulty. It isnt unfair, it's real. Kind of green hell or rimworld type of difficulty.
To be fair, losing (not dying) in this game is a core game mechanic because it's fastest way to level up your toughness stats which make you more durable.
I wouldn't go RimWorld difficulty. Least in Kenshi, if you get beat to the ground, you most likely will get back up, or even better, get enslaved and your basic necessities covered. In RimWorld, you go down, you are likely dead unless someone drops what their doing to rescue you, or the raiders decided they want to steal you
so realistic i cant manually kill things... kinda silly when you think about it. only way to kill things is to let them bleed to death by severe injuries
Weirdest sponsor for a videogame channel ever
Life is Kenshi. Never know when beak thing mobile will hit you.
Befitting for a game on Steam, considering they're representing clients of the Valve class action case.
I once started a colony as a skeleton. One big mistake: The Holy nation. The Holy nation doesn't have taxes, but each week they hold prayer day, where you go and pray to our lord and savior Okran. Turns out, they absolutely HATE skeletons, so I was swiftly punished for my existence by being dismantled.
Very fun.
Rebirth start can surprisingly be op. Human and Shek used it to learn basic skills while being fed and mostly safe, eventually decided to escape.
Released a fuckton of prisoners at once one night and made a break for it. About 10 prisoners followed my guys while the rest scattered and were mostly caught. We leave by one of the backdoors and only 4 decide to join my party, surprisingly they’re all fairly skilled in combat.
Unfortunately in the confusion we took the wrong gate, it lead us to a dead end in the mountains with some ruins, blood spiders, and a bit of loot. My human snuck in, grabbed some weapons and items, and we booked it. By then however starvation and wounds taken in the escape started dropping my guys. Half of them literally had to carry the others out of those mountains on their backs.
Somehow no one died and we made it to the shack, healed, fed, and equipped we made our way to the United Cities. Recruiting as we went, we set up shop in a town to do research, get money, and gather materials and manpower.
Eventually we were ready for my master plan: Sell drugs. Hemp only grows in certain areas and FUCK the swamp, so the next best option was…. The border of the cannibal plains.
Weird as it sounds there’s water, farmable soil, no nasty animals, and no taxes! You just have to deal with hordes of screaming cannibals assaulting your base every day. But they’re naked and stupid unless you mod them. Good base design and turret placement sees them off.
From there it turns generic, research, farming, building, looting ruins for artifacts for profit, selling Hash in the United Cities. The only other weird thing was I had a mod that let me crucify people so I lined the road to my base with slowly starving cannibals begging for the sweet release of death.
You know, normal Kenshi stuff.
In my latest playthrough I started a criminal gang that festered the United Cities...we mostly stuck to thievery barely able to make ends meet but after a hundred days or so I've got 4 gangs in 4 of the cities, we run several shops, have a booming drug industry that's flooded the market so much we can't even sell most of it, and we routinely rob 100k worth of items every single day nation wide. We've even had a gang war with the "heros guild" and...they're wrecking the floor with us 😢 but we got so much money it doesn't even matter.
I purchased Kenshi a month ago and have over 100 hours in it...and I've only been in the upper right portion of the huge open world map. It's quickly become my fave game of all time.
@@QATest4fun still playing it
*I would really like the developers to create a medieval fantasy game, exactly like kenshi, but with orks; elves; building of castles; deserts with "Moorish" peoples; navigation and sea monsters.. it doesn't hurt to dream that one day this will happen.* 🥺🥺🥺
Yes! 1000x yes. You have the right idea.
Kenshi's weird ass wild-west Japan formerly inhabited by giant robot gods is super interesting and honestly way more imaginative than just another high fantasy or dark fantasy universe imo. Like even the origins of the races themselves (not even including their history, just how they came to be) is pretty contentious but a lot of the possibilities are interesting as standalone stories. Kinda glad Kenshi 2 is going to be a chronological prequel tbh
I'm a simple man, I see a kenshi video I upvote
"time or energy" Let me tell you the story of kenshi. Development for kenshi started before many of your audience were born, and it ended when they were old enough to play the game. That's how long it took. That's why it was so good. It was a labor of love.
Pretty sure it was just one dude working on it for the majority of its dev time as well
Have 700+ hours in Kenshi, it's my favourite games and mods make it infinitely replayable!
I love positive videos like this! I can listen to people talk about Kenshi, Rimworld or Project Zomboid for hours.
Kenshi for me personally is awesome because it's a bit of "a story that shapes through gameplay" type of games. You do nudge your character(s) certain ways, yes, but more often than not, it's up to the game to decide what the outcome is going to be, no matter how good I get at it. It has sort of DnD vibe because of it, and I wish I knew about more games like this.
Crusader kings is similar but large scaled. What it lacks in gameplay it makes up through the intricate ai interactions.
@@leedleleedle6824 With CK (at least the second one, haven't played the third and unlikely I ever will) I just couldn't get past the godawful UI.
on one of my more recent playthroughs i played a stealthy hive, eventually i had a group about 4 members strong and we were able to take on most low level threats with minimal difficulty. on a journey from the hub to go and recruit best boy (beep) my group was ambushed and captured by fogmen, we were all knocked unconscious and only woke up to find my character and the rest of the party tied to stakes, i had to watch as they were all eaten alive one by one and the only reason my character didnt die is because i was hive and my athletics skill was through the roof because i trained my speed, toughness and lockpicking after spending a month in game time trying to escape slavery until i was finally fast enough to escape. i counted my losses and eventually found beep and basically started from scratch.
Kenshi is the only game I've ever played where on multiple occasions something outrageous happened, I then sat there slack-jawed staring at my screen for a minute, then mumbled: "this is the best game I've ever played."
Like many, I started as a meager starving peasant in the Hub. I tried on multiple occasions to make a bit of coin mining nearby ore veins, only to be stabbed in the back by bandits and left for dead. I quickly realized that I couldn't cut it out in the wilds, so I joined the Shinobi Thieves and took up petty thievery in the relative safety of the towns. I stumbled upon the town of Stack and it's fanatic Holy Nation populace. I was greeted like a king thanks to my pale greenlander skin. I made a comfortable living for a while thieving what I could, but as soon as I amassed enough coin to recruit a few helpers (of various different races) I quickly found I was no longer welcome in Stack. So we departed and found the fertile valley of Okran's Pride. "A perfect spot to start our little farming commune," I thought. I couldn't have been more wrong.
Most of us survived the river raptor attacks long enough to erect a meagre walled base, though some of my fragile farmers were torn limb from limb. That was the least of our troubles. No sooner had I built a house to sleep, we incurred a hostile takeover from black dragon ninjas, and they weren't leaving. We set up a makeshift camp outside my occupied fort and scrounged up enough money to hire 2 teams of mercenaries, we assaulted my base and won it back by the skin of our teeth. Our farming operation soon flourished, our population expanded, and I really felt like we were building a vibrant community.. then the Holy Nation came. They must have caught wind of our "multicultural" farming operation and declared us enemy Number 1. We were just simple farmers, and every time a high paladin or inquisitor came knocking on our gates there were only 2 options: run or die. So we ran, we hid, many of us didn't make it.
After many months of struggle, we decided this injustice must end. We needed weapons, lots of weapons. And how did we acquire these weapons? Through the sale of narcotics of course. We converted our farms into a massive hemp growing operation and grog distilling facility. I implanted my greenlander spies in Holy Nation cities, and sold them enormous amounts of liquor, I became exceedingly wealthy exploiting the vices of this supposed "holy" nation. My outpost soon rivalled the largest Holy Nation cities in size. I felt like the Jim Jones of Kenshi.
One fateful day an inquisitor came knocking with his band of cronies, but this time we didn't run. We gunned them down with high-powered harpoon turrets. We captured the inquisitor and took turns beating him unconscious as a sort of petty revenge for all our fallen comrades. I was on top of the world, but still unaware of the course of events I was about to set off. The Capital must have caught word of our transgressions, and they declared War. In one fell swoop my liquor operations in Holy Nation cities were routed out. All my spies were enslaved or killed.
But none of that mattered anymore, all that mattered was revenge. I took my strongest warriors and set up a second outpost on the edge of the fog islands. The entire area was in the midst of a turf war between vicious cannibal fogmen and Holy Nation miners. We descended into the fog and killed with reckless abandon. Fogmen, paladins, it didn't matter, we slaughtered them all with our cold steel.
Tonight we make our final march on Blister Hill, seat of the Holy Lord Phoenix himself. My Lieutenant and greatest ally, Beep, is a fully cybernetic killing machine that wields an Ancient Meitou Katana. My Shek Generals Kang, Ruka, and Rane the Giant hew limbs with their massive swords as if they were blades of grass. Tonight, it all ends. We either send Lord Phoenix to meet Okran himself, or we die trying.
"This is the best game I've ever played."
To me, a game starts off on the wrong foot if it's very "visually appealing". Instantly signals to me that there's a heavy focus on appearances, which is typically my lowest priority in games. So they tend to disappoint me in other areas.
sink around 1000+ hours on Kenshi, i must say this is the best 5$ ive ever spend on a game.
Rain World is a great game if worlds that couldn't care less about the player tickle your fancy.
On top of the amazing art, wonderful music and seemingly unfair difficulty is extreme depth, from simple to advanced movement tech, all the way to the constantly-simulated, functioning ecosystem, of which you are not the main character of. You are just part of the food chain, doing your hardest to survive and explore.
Seconded- for the crowd here who love Kenshi and Rimworld, Rain World is our compadre in the world of platformers. If you like Kenshi and have considered Rain World, you will not regret the dive
I'm still on my first playthrough because I aim to do a Let's Play that's more narrative focused. Telling a story where there isn't one.
That being said, I never really had any failures.
By the time I found out about Kenshi, I had already watched hours and hours of content from people making me laugh.
The game seemed like a genuinely good time since you can cause conflicts by the virtue of proxy.
What I mean to say is I will totally antagonize a group of beak things, and run them into a Cannibal village, because both groups of degenerate scum deserve each other!
It always make me laugh whenever I accidentally or INTENTIONALLY cause a conflict.
Fortunately due to all my time spent watching videos, I knew exactly where to go, what to do, and how to do it.
I started off with stealth, assassination, and lockpicking. Lockpicking got me my money, stealth allowed me to bypass so many things, and assassination meant that I could cheese stronger opponents for their gear. At this point in my game, I'm swatting full skin bandit raids on my base like they're mere pests in way over their head. The amount of damage THEY DO NOT DO is hilarious. So cute for them to think they could try.
But with that being said, you wanted us to share our stories? Because I'm not challenged by the vanilla game anymore. I downloaded mods, and LOTS OF THEM.
Early on in my honeymoon phase of exploration, I went out to Obedience just to explore. Now keep in mind, I downloaded a good 230+ mods without knowing where to go in order to find them. I figured that would be the only way I'd find new things. And OH BOY did I!
I opened an "ominous tower" and to my shock, there were "Mist Ghouls" that came sprinting out of the doorway. I could already run well past 20 mph at that point if I had chosen to flee, but I attempted to fight. Three of my workers killed immediately... And me left with one arm less and on the verge of dying. Thank god I didn't bring ALL of my soldiers with me, otherwise my main character never would've been saved. My reaction was somewhere along the lines of; "OOOOH I FUCKED UP..... I FUCKED UP.... I FUCKED UP SO BAD!" And although it was not funny right away, I now look back at it and laugh. Especially now that I am fully capable of going back to that place and soloing their whole squad and bullying them out of existence.
Overall I think Kenshi works so well because games are a recipe for success when you are bullied and motivated to BECOME the bully and get some measure of payback.
You struggle to grind your way into decent stats, not because it's necessary for survival, but because you're about to show those bastards who they fucked with! And then the Doom Music kicks on, and 30 minutes you are LITERALLY in a pool of your enemy's blood. The irony of Kenshi is that when you actually take out all the major factions who commit unspeakable horrors upon the world, you'll find that your impact has left whole place worse off than when you found it. And with no more enemies plaguing your path to paradise, you're left all alone upon a mountain top watching the sun set. And all of that violence brought you no more closer to the friends you lost along the way, or the happiness you imagined you'd have by now. There's a subtle genius to Kenshi. Because it's so simple. They don't give you much, but they give you just enough for you to realize that sometimes........ You were your greatest enemy all along...
I remember watching a Lore vid a while back that goes into the theory that in order for the World of Kenshi to actually get back on it's feet. The Holy Nation and the UC MUST survive whilst Tin-fist and many of the "good-guy" factions must not win or achieve their goals.
The Holy Nation has The Best supply of both food and manpower which will be needed for any kind of society.
The UC Have the Wealth and Construction materials needed to rebuild and form some kind of structure and logistics (albeit on the back of slavery, same with the HN).
I think you get the idea...
And also as borked as the HN are in their beliefs..... they're kinda right about the whole Fuck robots and A.I thing. (which ironic considering Orkran is Stobe, The OG good boi robot. :3)
@@flaccidweentheii6684 You and I likely watched the SAME EXACT VIDEO!
That's tremendous!
I'm very glad you brought that up though, because it's an idea I'm going to explore in my web series. I have a character named "101011" who's soul purpose in life is to dictate the probabilities of any action taken by "Crater Town." (

probably the best story I have is how I have beep as the weakest in my group, then building him into a leader of his own squad that liberated the slaves in the holy nation, prolly the same way other players build him as
Kenshi is great and I'm really looking forward to 2. I hope community suggestions, like your idea of being able to capture towns, makes it into 2. Also mounts are something I've wanted forever lol
It has such a great foundation for even bigger and more ambitious content.
Do you suggest buying this game now or should I just wait for 2? 🤔
@@SeanJZoning 2 is going to be in development for several more years in all probability. I don't think there's really any reason to wait if you've got the cash to spare and it looks fun. Plus, 2 is going to be set in an earlier time period so we can expect that some of the stuff in 1 will be given context or explanation in 2, I think that would be the better experience; Play Kenshi and enjoy, play 2 when it comes out and have those "I KNOW WHAT THAT IS!" moments as intended.
@@Ichthyodactyl Thank you. I'm buying it today!!!
Subbed for the sheer fact that you made such a good video on Kenshi and I'm always down for more people entering that fun and painful meatgrinder that is kenshi! Thanks for the video!
Awesome, thank you!
My favourite Kenshi story?
Okay, so I've started in the Hub, and made a living mining copper just outside and selling it at the bar for some food. Eventually I was able to buy a weapon, set up a small outpost on a strategically advantageous-looking mountaintop, and then I immediately started to get raided.
At that point of realised how truly terrible at fighting my character is, and opted to sneak out of my base when it was raided, wait for nighttime, and sneak attack them one by one just to strip them of any valuable gear and throw their unconscious bodies out of the base. Turns out, sneak attacking ninjas levels up your stealth quite a bit.
Eventually, I've become confident enough in my ability to sneak, run fast and even fight to go exploring. Found a Shek town rather quickly and recruited my first two henchmen - Hep and Oron.
They were quite handy with their weapons of choice and quickly became rather good at mining, too. Raids became a breeze to take out.
So one of these raids, a Hungry Bandit one specifically, had seen on of the bandits just... Not give up. Ever.
She lost one of her arms after a very prolonged fight only to get up and continue fighting me one-armed.
I could use a person like that.
So I patched her up and carried her to the nearest Shek town. Where she immediately proceeded to attack me, got beaten up by the guards and arrested. Went ahead and paid bail, after which she decided we're friends now. And that's how my first team was formed.
I decided to keep that short, cuz the message was taking too long, but we're yet to get into my favourite part.
So one of the factions occasionally passing by our base turned out to be slave traders. They generally didn't cause problems, though I've certainly had a distaste for their line of business...
Until one time they decided to go ahead and enslave one of the Trade Ninjas guarding the bar, who was unconscious after a particularly large Hungry Bandit raid. Went ahead and took them all down. Looted. Freed the trade ninja friend. Got a pair of really nice katanas off of one of the slavers. Not much chance to give them back, sadly.
Anyway, from this point onward I did not take kindly to slave traders passing through my turf. So for one of the following groups I've decided to come along and see where their hideout is. They didn't even mind.
Now a dozen minutes later, the group is coming up to a heavily fortified town. I've decided it's really not a place I can deal with right now, so I've beaten up the slavers well outside the gates, took their gear... And noticed I can't quite carry it all home.
Went ahead and built an inconspicuous warehouse on the crossroads a bit outside. Started dragging the loot there... And then, I realised that something terrible has happened.
The no-longer-hungry miss Bandit (still haven't found the way to change the name, so she's still Hungry Bandit in the UI) has been captured and dragged into the city by a slaver who woke up while I was dragging the loot away!
So I mounted an escape attempt. Stationing my main team outside the town, that I now knew as Rebirth, I've had miss Bandit pick the locks od her cage and knock out the guards at night.
Soon enough I've found that the guards, if stripped and put in the cages, will not be recognised by other guards and will be treated as slaves. From there on out, I knew what I had to do. I worked from inside Rebirth day and night, freeing the actual slaves (or at least the ones who weren't too afraid to come along) and replacing them with guards. I've ended up with a small, but relatively capable army of freed people, and started to make my way into the other houses to free more. All was going very well.
And that... That was when I got cocky. Started actually fighting the guards. Got overwhelmed. Got captured. Got out again. Got captured again...
The place has started to look quite understaffed by now. So I've decided to make a break for it with all the people I've freed by then... And we made it out!
Many of them joined my crew. I've had around 5 new members, more than doubling my numbers. But there was still an issue of missing my weapons...
So I sent my main crew back in.
They. All. Got. Captured.
Getting out took some time.
In the end, we all got our weapons and clothes back (except for one person, I guess their gear got lost somewhere in world reloads), made Rebirth nearly uninhabited, and left.
And with this epic story, begins the legend of Sergal's gang of talented warriors, explorers, builders and craftsmen.
Oh, almost forgot. Miss Bandit now has a Holy Nation bounty on her head of 200k cats.
I'm pretty sure that's more than ANY pre-generated criminal in the game... And more than my budget had ever been (though I'm getting there)
One time I was on my way to The Hub. Got to Rebel base and the Dust Bandits had set up camp next to that bar. They attacked us. The bar owner and his guards came out to help us. The damned dust bandits had 6 crossbow men and I was playing on max death chance and 2x dmg multiplier.
The damned Crossbow men killed everyone except for my main guy and my runner who had 66 athletics. My main guy had 55 martial arts and 20 strength. Ended up losing a leg on him. The last two bar shop guards somehow managed to kill the 6 crossbow men before one of them bled to death.
Then slavemongers showed up. Healed the only surviving unconscious dust bandit bowman lmao and the rebel base went without a shop owner sadly. I think the last surviving bodyguard is still there. Every once in awhile my runner goes there to check on him. My guy ended up getting a new leg. I was so grateful but sad at the same time. I had 3 solid warriors with 18 strength and 30 attack and 35 sabre. We were a sabre group. But now I have to start over but at least we made it to the Hub.
I had the revenant moment. I was traveling far south of mourn searching for beakthings to train my martial arts on. when a gigantic horde of over 50, something beakthinds saw me. I hauled ass until I found a group united cities samurai. The fight between beast and man started. I was running around to try and get some hits on the beakthings and it was going pretty well. Then all hell broke loose. In the middle of the fight gorillo bandits also came charging in. Turning the battle into complete chaos. While I was trying to dodge a beak thing, a bandit dun kicked me. Thus, my leg was pecked by the gutter. I didn't fall yet, but I couldn't dodge the next peck. So there went my other leg broken. Luckily, I didn't lose my legs. But my character was so injured they kept falling in and out of consciousness. After a few minutes, the battle ended. A few beak things left as the Victors feasting on the bodies. Luckily, they were feasting on all the other bodies around my character, and now started my 3 day crawl to mourn. It was just the longest moment in the game for me. It seemed like an eternity crawling to mourn avoiding the boneyard wolves and other beakthings. The first night went relatively well crawling. But the second night tho holy moly had a horde of beakthings walk past me. Luckily there was a slight hill so the couldn't see me. After they passed I continued. Everything went well afterward aside from almost going red to hunger. I made back to mourn I had enough funds to buy some simple bandages and healed myself up and threw myself in bed for 2 days. That was a fun adventure.
Ah I remember when this game came out in alpha. There was no sound, no food heck there wasn't even a hunger bar. How far the game has come is just amazing and I'm glad I took the chance on it when I did.
When I first played Kenshi, I made the mistake of letting my character wander into the swamp. I went in figuring that maybe I'd be able to find some expensive stuff to sell and get a headstart. Getting in was easy enough, made it all the way to the city of Shark without trouble.
Getting out, however... Now, I'm a more casual player. I had no intention of starting a new playthrough every 5 minutes and I wasn't above loading an older save.
I think it took me nearly an hour to get out of the swamp, not because it was a far distance to walk, but because I kept running into Red Sabres or Swamp Ninjas or Blood Spiders, who'd tear me to shreds in 2 seconds and then leave me to bleed to death or, in the case of the spiders, start eating me alive.
Roughly an hour of save scumming, running, sneaking and dying until I made it back out, having almost nothing to show for it apart from a few skill points and severe psychological scarring.
Just recently got into it, started up in the hub. was just patrolling around with my 2 bonedog pups I saved up for. I ran into two separate hoards of dust bandits retreated to the hub and those 2 dust bandit hoards murdered freaking everybody in that town I survived by going into my small house with my dogs and going into sneak. now I have the hub all to myself. i (rescued) a 6 bandits disarmed them, and healed them up just enought to not die and then when they try to get up my dogs take care of them. its freaking great got myself a couple prisoners.
thats actually a pretty good way to train combat skills early.
by having prisoners that you beat up and heal.
stronger the prisoner, better the punching bag.
I got this game because of general Sam. A lot of games I have I bought on my own accord that I sometimes notice get popular, but there has been a few games I’ve wanted to play purely because of a youtuber, kenshi is one of those games I picked up from a youtuber and I’ve played it for 400+ hours. I’ve spent days just building skeletons, hivers, humans, sheks and all of them to incredibly destroying monsters, my most favorite being skeletons. My most interesting story was that, I had built an outpost near sho-Battai, I barely had one guy who would grind copper to sell to pay the annual tax, soon I would buy slaves to help get the money faster but when I thought I had the required amount of money they’d beat me up and kill my slave forcing me to work up money to buy another slave and work up the money then to pay them off so they wouldn’t kill me. It was a brutal time and in the end I was raided by bandits and they left me for dead in the dust. This game along with mods have made go through so many different characters that I personally spend hours making into beasts of hand to hand combat, sword combat, tool combat, gun combat, as well as modded combat. Each character I train becomes a practical god in about 50 days because I’ve played this game so Damm often I know the cheap tricks of the base game and a selection of mods which I personally added but you don’t have to to make your characters beastly. You can also take the long route which offers a more painful but hooking onto your character when your there when he loses his 50th fight but gets back up, this game is difficult as hell but when you conquer it you feel as if with time, you could beat anything. This game always has me crawling back for more, a definite keeper.
It will forever make me smile to see more people discover this game and get absorbed in it. Also, there IS a faster way to travel around the map: Chop your legs off and get some new ones!
one of the greatest games ever created by human kind - kenshi. hands down. period. no questions asked. years of hard work paid off. i hope it will get more and more and more popular by the time 2nd part comes out.
I think the most fun thing I've done / tell my friends that don't play the game is that one time I built an entire town off the backs of selling drugs. And because I built in the foglands I was protected from anyone trying to raid me because the fogmen would just eat them. lol
how did you keep the fog men from eating you?
@@robokast walls with highly upgraded turrets. and I used the fogmen so much to train my people that most of them could fight without getting hurt too bad. (Pack mules and beasts help a lot too)
Grub woke up in a field. From there he settled in a nearby holy empire city to train before setting off. Managed to stock up on goods as well but quickly realized that he would need a beast to carry some of his burden. So he set off to find a nomad village. Along the way, he was waylaid by a pack of long necked beasts who knocked him unconcious. While sleeping off his injuries, a band of slavers arrived to banish him to a prison. Grub hadn't planned on that and had no idea how to pick locks. He learned quickly though. Lost an arm in the escape. By chance, grub found a dead body and salvaged some new clothes and gear. Desperately trying to get home, he encountered another roaming band of bandits outside the city walls. Grub tried to defend himself but unfortunately lost a leg and his other arm. Crawling to the city gates, the guards quickly came to his aid. Only to throw him in prison for being an escaped slave. It's there, he died.
I started as a slave and became a Saber master and entrepeneur with a fortress in the Leviathan Coast ! I cleaned the world from all and every bounties and erradicated the crazy Shek and brought peace and prosperity to my new Empire! I love this game since you can feel your evolution from zero to Godhood! After all the suffering and multiple losses, you really appreciate how powerful you are when your skills surpass 90!
I also love the Star Wars mod XD
I think having a fast travel system kind of like Skyrim would be dope.
Kenshi 2 is supposedly going to have vehicles of some kind but that was just a rumour
Vehicles or mounts would be dope, tbh... especially if they can be used in combat, even if it means just running people over
I grinded hard at the iron and got a crew of maybe 10 people all with the most expensive armor. I trained them as much as I thought was necassary against starving bandit then dust bandits until i was at a point I could take on a large group of starving bandits or a group of around 20 dust bandits. I felt like a badass and decided to head northwest. The creature were a little difficult but I snuck past a lot of them until I hit a point where I was so deep into the land and had saved enough while sneaking that no matter what I could think of my people just got stomped to death and eaten until finally I gave up.
Welcome to Kenshi
I for one think Kenshi looks great honestly.
The Morgan and Morgan add threw me off like what. My cousin is one of their top lawyers in Florida. 😂
One of my stories
I played as solo thief in great desert make him the stealthy one
And one time I steal from emperor tangu and steal his legendary sword (katana)
At end i killed Savant &grand wizard &dust king
But the death was the result
I died in battle with HN
Random Kenshi facts:
•Beep is a great companion
•Fogman heads make good money
• you see a beak thing, run
• emperor Tengu is a Dick
Kenshi needs to have sandsails/vehicles for transport. Even leviathan rides. or Herd animals can become horses.
With mods installed, I made a community of skeletal slavers. Capturing any bandits that attacked the base, and making them into human meat shields for my metallic overlords. But the kingdom fell, and I was left with one skeleton and two ironsides (Basically big mechs) to protect him. Assaulted by triangle, holy nation, and dust bandits simultaneously due to terrain issues having 2 raids waiting to come to the base while the holy nation finally rocked up. My home was sacked, decimated. My slaves, useless in the face of paladins, inquisitors, and archers from the other two factions. However, my singular skeleton mustered up enough forces, trained enough slaves in a shek town, and finally assaulted the holy nation cities one by one in retribution. Finally, my skeleton was armed with the most powerful spear in the game, and with even Cat-Lon enslaved, the Phoenix was dead and all greenlanders were cleansed from the holy nation territory. And then I stopped playing
I made my first character, a skeleton named Arnie and started it on the rock bottom game start. Within 30 seconds of my character getting created and spawned in a skimmer bodied my poor dude and I was left dying in the northeastern desert. 10/10 experience would recommend
It's really easy to mod it for beginner modders as well. It's one of the best modding communities and the forums have a bunch of people willing to help. Watch out for comission modders, just make your own. Some that seem really talented are dishonest.
I started my playthrough with the man with a dog. I forbid myself from recruiting other NPCs because I want to do a duo playthrough with only my main and my pet. Even though it was very hard at first, I was able to feed ourselves to the point my companion became an adult bonedog.
While we were travelling over the swamplands with little to no preparation, I was actually amazed at how laggy the area is. It is infested with swamp ninjas, flesh spiders, elephant turtles and raptors, but we were able to survive nonetheless. We eventually arrived at a certain swamp village that a certain female druglord owns and manages. She hired us to smuggle hash to a united city. We were able to finish the errand and made my way to return to the swamp village.
After giving the profits to her that we obtained from the illegal trade, she taught us on how to farm the plant that we can use to produce our own hash. I then made my own quest to become a solo druglord with a trusty bonedog to keep me company. While I was gathering up and researching all of the necessary tools and tech to be able to farm hash in any kind of environment, I was able to build at least 4 outposts containing nothing but hash. To save food and labor, I recruited skeleton bots to guard, farm and craft my product automatically. At this point, I broke my rule where I will never recruit any other NPCs.
Eventually, after hundreds of hours into that save, I was able to bank up so many cats to the point that I don't even need money anymore. I actually went mad with raiding that swamp and made that territory my own. Overthrowing an unwanted master that I didn't respect but grateful all the same.
It was one hell of a ride. I actually like checking out cities and villages to see if they will buy my produce for a profit higher than 100%. I've added in mods just so there are NPCs visiting my outposts just to buy my hash in the thousands lmao
My beat story was about Kig, a hiver who dreamed about becoming the biggest bounty hunter, but his luck was the only thing that stopped him, making Kig become the most wanted terrorist over Kenshi.
Started all over when slave traders caught him, he developed a strong hate towards the TG and the UC, then he was chased by the Holy Nation. In the end, Kig led an army of freedom, seeking to free slaves and sacrificed himself to the rebirth to burn that place down from inside.
Kig was known by every drifter, being told as a fairy tale for the children, a tale about theft, war crimes and terrorism
The people might look ugly but the world and landscapes are so beautiful and diverse. Ive sunk almost 200 hours into the game and i havent even explored some parts of the map yet ❤
Wow! Robokast finally Reviewing Kenshi!
Thanks for giving me a reason to start a new run. Im thinking prisoner escape this time.
"Prisoner Escape" is a great way to start :) ...if you break out other prisoners on your way out, some might even survive the guards and join you!
My favorite story so far? Trying to make my way in the world as a travelling merchant, who struggles to save every slave they come across...after adding Xenomorphs and Terminators to spawn randomly in the wasteland.
best thing I did in kenshi was making a skeleton/hiver outpost in the swamps. The hivers mainly farmed and made the hashish/booze that the hive princes would smuggle with their athletic bonuses. The skeletons mainly were protection, like manning turrets/running the weapon and armor workshops. Made a ton of money and tried to go to war with the bug master, ended up losing cause I only had about a 30 man army with combat stats ranging from 30-50, spider horde was just endless and basically could two shot the hivers, the few skeletons I had ended up breaking down after a day or two of constant fighting
Im checking out this because i love kenshi. I pay for RUclips premium. I don't want legal advice personally, just kenshi
the completely left field Morgan & Morgan sponsor caught me off guard
are you in my head?? I started playing Zomboid a few weeks before you posted your Zomboid video, and I started Kenshi last week haha
They tend to attract the same audience, same kind of gamer.
my 26 th time play in this game was creating a harem of divesity race in to my group and just one day my main character just got devour by cannibals because i forgot to pause while i go afk.
good game 10/10.
I watched the video until the advertisement for Morgan and Morgan. At that point, I was done.
Good thing about goats: they are herbivores. They won’t eat you after they beat you. If you play Kenshi, you know what I’m talking about. One of the best games I’ve ever played.
"UI system is absolutely AIDs" was f-ing crazy. Take care of yourself gang.
It's the Spirit of RPGs that has died amongst a flood of games that marketed themselves as RPGs but lacked any meaningful stat/rpg elements.
EDIT: Also Kenshi's environments and the atmospheric sounds for each biome are beautiful.
its very sad this game that can make extremely wild adventure in wasteland is very underrated.
I am currently making a play though where i only hire people for free, first person i got once i could safely get there was beep, then while travelling around we found an escaped slave who asked to join us as long as we didn’t try to hand her in for the 2k bounty. Then i helped a mute slave escape, he joined us and still doesn’t talk! This game is so dam good.
Passion will always beat technical skill, kenshi is one of the many games that proves that
The thing about kenshis graphics is that while its not 'visually appealing' in the traditional sense, the game finda a way of showing it's beauty in unexpected places, contrasting the beauty it does have with the rest of the game in a way that allows you to appreciate it for what it is in it's entirety. For example: Perhaps your party has just had their ass whooped by beak things, the few that managed to escape are wandering through a sandstorm in the great desert trying to find shelter from the dangers of the desert, and as they limp along the sun begins to rise and it suddenly the game is one of the most beautiful things you've seen in a long time. Thats kenshi, beautiful despite its 'imperfect' graphics, you don't get to see that breathtaking beauty all the time in kenshi, but when you *do* see it, it stands out in a very simplistic yet powerful way in contrast with the rest of the game, and as such, you never get entirely used to the visual beauty the game has to offer.
(and of course this phenomenon is only enhanced by the amazing world design of the different biomes.)
Favourite playthrough: The Iron Monks of Dog Mountain, who follow The Way of the Beep. We built a home in the Foglands, and after years fighting and dying against the Fogmen and being abused by the Holy Nation, we sacrificed (peeled) our limbs one by one to make an elite army of uber cyborg martial artists who wiped the Holy Nation, the United Cities, and every other Slaver piece of shit society off the map. And yet, tyranny still rules Kenshi. And I am the tyrant 😥
Kenshi isn't visually unappealing.
Playing as a solo rock bottom character, I decided to free slaves from a slave shop for lols. I missclicked, went into a cage and got enslaved and stripped naked before I could pick a lock.
I was fine. Escaped during the night while being transported into prisoner camp. I only felt bad about losing a pretty solid blackened chainmail.
Hint: the guards probably stuck it in one of the nearby boxes or chests
@@danshakuimo I know, I did get back my samurai pants and specialist grade gas mask, but then was captured and taken to the barracks.
My unforgettable story in Kenshi was starting with Cannibals ready to attack you the moment you entered the game. Yeah, that is my first playthrough and it ended instantly. 😂
Btw it's been years since that day and I already made my own Mods for this game. Yes, modding is way more straight to the point in this game and I love it. I overhaul my entire Kenshi game.
I’ve sunk far too mutch time in Kenshi. My first play through I built in the borderlands and then expanded a base into the holy nation and absolutely decimated them. Now I’ve got like full masterwork edge type 3 blades and like 5 meitoo weapons on a hit squad with crab and samurai armor they are op af.
I started with two hivers in rebirth. They snuck around at night recruiting people into a slave revolt. They escaped and went to Okran's valley and set up a base there. They had a fun time repelling prayer day over and over until they wiped them all off the map. We went from town to town slaying every one of them wiping the holy nation from the map.
remember coming back from some town, my team was already pretty good. I wasn't paying attention and one of my team members was kidnapped and by the time I managed to get to him, he had already been eaten alive. I'm pretty sure he shouted "f*****ck". This kind of situations makes this game unforgettable
um why did morgan and morgan sponsor this video
Been thinking about this game for whatever reason for the last week, and this was uploaded yesterday with enough good arguments for me to buy it right now. Plus for 8 bucks i can't really go wrong 😄
Thanks for that, very informative :]
Edit : 3hours into it and I got beat up by some guards after trying to steal clothes in an empty room, locked up, sent into coma in the middle of the road and got patched up by a lone traveler after a woman stole dried meat from my backpack.
1000% would recommend 🔥
My character named Scout was built to trade by running city to city. Some dogs played fetch with his leg, so I thought the dream was dead. Then another dog took his other leg and I thought I was cursed. Built up a thief and stole some amazing artificial legs, so Scout ended up running so fast enemies didn't even load in until he was a mile past them. Ended up rich from the thief and got all the research and best items from the scout. Really turned everything around and that's what Kenshi is so good at doing; giving people the feeling of progress.
Kenshi is the only time I enjoy going to church and doing my prayers.
Ran into a gang of swamp ninjas, got my ass beat to train fortitude. They leave, and just as I'm about to wake up from my ass whooping, a blood spider thing spots me, and goes "Snack time!"
And that's when I know this game is for me.
Me: Fights a rough early game battle, most of my guys are badly injured but alive.
Smugglers: appear like ninjas and loot the entire place before my crippled ass can find a crumb
I had a mod that gives meitou weapon to random NPC and they are strong as hell.
Found one on Mongrel. I have a high assassination so I tried doing it in a peaceful way but he didn't fall. Me and my 4 squad members are inside their barracks, my strategy was to bring all of my squad members at the rooftop and fight them there so I don't get the indoor penalties from my weapon and the same time limiting the number of enemies that can enter.
We fought, 1 of out of my 5 squad members got taken down and put into prison. It's my crossbow man. We kept fighting until he was conscious and ready to lockpick the cage, he manage to escape by running inside the Shinobi thieves tower but they took his Masterwork Eaglecross and Meitou katana.
After we secured a path and were sure that the most injured member was safe, I made a run for it inside Shinobi Tower. We slept there till recovery.
Unfortunately, Shinobi thieves are outnumbered so we had to help them. All Shinobi thieves got annihilated and mongrel guards dwindled to 5. Now they're too weak to depend themselves against fogmen. They coexist without any issues fighting fogmen together but my greed drove their home to bloodbath.
I wasn't able to find the weapon that I needed and I ended up losing a master work and one Meitou weapon.
Left mongrel with only the 5 guards left. I'll come back tomorrow to see if they're able to defend the town or if it's going to become a fogmen ruins
Solo Beep is my best Kenshi story
I had a playthrough of two people, ninja and yolandi. This was before the controversy... Anyway they scrounge their way from the bottom after being free of slavery.. Things are looking good until yolandi lost her leg, ninja had to carry her across the desert to find her a robotic leg. Eventually they assembled a badass crew of ninjas, and established a little settlement I called electric alley. Eventually the holy nation send an army that was absolutely unbeatable. That was the end
2:35 my man was thrown across the entire fight 💀 nice video btw
FYI, there is a mod to help with the quick loading. I have 80 people across 3 squads, i have no problem viewiung my home base (Leviathan coast) and then immediately clicking on my main squad who are out and about...Ashlands etc.
Cant remember exactly what it is called, i have over 300 mods installed, something along the lines of 'quick loading screens/quick squad selection'.
As a dude from saudi arabia i can 100% confirm this is what my everyday looks like
One of the best games out there, cant wait for Kenshi 2
You are the goat bro thank you for bringing light to underrated games like these. every new this game is so awesome video you post another great game is added to my steam library
"and the character with 50 strength and unable to communicate" or "unlucky robot with negative stats"
This is the first time I've ever seen a youtuber or any influencer being sponsored by a law firm...they are learning
Built a prosperous settlement in a dry lakebed I named "The Sink." Made money off of bread, rum, leather and whatever the traders dropped when they got killed by Shek warriors. Everything's cozy and no one has to worry about starvation. Then, while my brave champions were on a desperate quest in the Grid to hunt for tech parts while fighting off Beak Things, the Sink gets beaten up by Shek Warriors. Who get beaten up by Slavers. Who get beaten up by Shek Warriors again as they try to enslave my villagers. Miraculously, they somehow escape on their own and return. Now...we want revenge.
i like kenshi, especially when i become bait for bandits and lure it to town, then watch town guards annihilate them while i loot the bodies. downside though, the ground patterns looks like triangle everywhere and it hurts my eye to recognize every characters
My story is I kept luring bandits to a bar and I farmed their loot.
That was the smoothest transition into a paid ad
I always knew of Kenshi, but never really looked too into it. Until recently where I finally caved in and bought it... 1 week and 70 hours later I was in love.
I had no idea what to do, how to make money, how to control anything, the one thing I knew was that my guy was getting hungry and I needed food, so I did the most basic thing possible I started mining copper close by, alone, getting perpetually clapped by hungry people. I was kind of annoyed and then I bumped into Garr and Soto in a bar, Garr being the lovable big shek brute who is all heart and 0 brains and Soto who was this petite scorchlander with some basic understanding of medicine.
I thought, cool at least I can have some meatshields. Then I discovered your characters will often exchange barks on the road, which was the point where I discovered Garr was in fact dumb as a bag of hammers. While Soto was, rightfully so, fairly pessimistic and downtrodden simply because she often had to run away while me and Garr took all the heat and subsequently she had to put our insides that were then outsides back inside. We travelled the world, slow as it was, visited cities, swam through acid rivers, got nearly eaten by gutters, got countlessly obliterated by bandits, slavers, paladins, cannibals, dogs, bulls, spiders, ninjas. If it was alive and hostile we got destroyed by it. Obviously we had little cash at the time so Soto over the course of time became a competent thief in order to keep us fed and Garr became this absolute tungsteel brick of a man clad in so much armor he could have 10 bandits shooting him full of holes and still he would wipe the floor with them and carry the team to victory.
By the end of these travels these three would become hardened survivors and capable warriors each with distinct role, and personalised armor, in case of Soto we've had to even struggle for an hour of pure stress when she got her leg chopped off in the middle of the desert and we had just ran out medical supplies so my character would carry her unconscious bleeding out body to the closest city hoping, praying we make it before she died, luckily we did, but we had to cut that adventure short. It was disheartening to see her crippled and I remember the genius of Kenshi then. We blew all our cash we had then to buy her the best prosthetic, a masterwork leg to allow her to walk again and as I gave her the new limb I was blown away by the fact that now thanks to it while she could walk and run again, she had an uneven stride, so she still had a limp in her step when she walked slowly. It made me feel so bad for her.
I still play that save today, I believe we are nearing day 300 or so and our 3-man group grew to about 7, the first 3 are still alive and kicking, albeit now with most of their biological limbs gone through our escapades, I believe Garr only has his right arm left as he lost his left to gutters and both of his legs when got trampled by a leviathan. My character got ganked by fog people on a solo supply run and by the time he was rescued he was basically a stump of a man. And Soto, well... her thieving career got her in a lot of trouble so she was our first fully bionic member. Then there is Kang, Sadneil, Burn and Cat. We're still getting our asses beat, but in true spirit of Kenshi we get back up and keep walking forward, even getting some wins here and there.
Kenshi is one of my all time favorite games. Love seeing one of my favorite youtubers appreciating it like i do,
