Kenshi: New Free Roaming and Open Ended 3D RPG will have a Linux Version

Monday, December 05, 2011 | No comments |

Update: It looks like the game won't be available for Linux. Though the engine itself is open source and cross platform, the game uses many external plugins that don't work on Linux. Apologies for providing wrong information.

Kenshi is a free-roaming squad based 3D role playing and strategy game by Lo-Fi Games, taking some inspirations from Mount and Blade. The game focuses on open-ended gameplay features rather than a linear story. You can be a trader, a thief, a rebel, a mercenary, a business owner, a doctor, a bandit... the list goes on.
