Lo-Fi Games announces that
Kenshi is now in the beta phase
on Steam, and various
updates mark this new phase in the early access squad-based RPG.
This post has details on what's been added to the game, and outlines plans
to gradually open up new areas of the expanded game map, and
this
trailer shows off the new version 0.90 beta. Word is: "Kenshi is a
free-roaming squad based RPG with emphasis on open-ended sandbox gameplay
features rather than a linear story. You can be a trader, a thief, a rebel, a
warlord, an adventurer, a farmer, a slave, or just food for the cannibals! Build
a safe house, research new equipment, craft new gear and train your men from
puny victims to fearless warriors - with skill, luck and talent, you might even
bring them home alive! The updated BETA introduces one of the largest
single-player world maps ever to be offered in an RPG. Initially, only
restricted areas will be accessible, and other areas of the map become available
in future updates to the game."
