What is Enshrouded?

Enshrouded, developed by Keen Games, is a Survival Action RPG set to be released on January 24, 2024, initially on Steam, with plans for a later release on PS5 and Xbox XS. In this immersive gaming experience, players assume the role of the Flameborn, the last hope of a once-mighty civilization, facing off against an insidious menace known as the Shroud. This creeping blight devours and mutates all life it touches, and your mission is to push it back.

To succeed in this quest, players must forge their unique path by delving into a deep skill tree, mastering powerful weapons, spells, and armor, and customizing their playstyle to confront rival factions and conquer merciless bosses. Beyond combat, players can shape the world’s terrain and showcase their creativity by building bases and epic homes with a vast array of materials and furniture, all while striving to protect themselves from the encroaching fog.

Enshrouded unfolds in the sprawling voxel-based continent of Embervale, a land consumed by the Shroud due to the unchecked greed of your ancestors for magical power. Survival, crafting, and action-packed RPG combat are at the heart of the game. As players journey across diverse landscapes, they will piece together the fragments of a gripping story hidden beneath the surface of this captivating world.

Survival is paramount as players start with nothing and must scavenge for resources in the remnants of the lost kingdom, defending themselves against hungry beasts. Heart-pounding action combat awaits, where players will confront mutated factions and formidable bosses, each with their unique challenges. Crafting legendary weapons and armor is essential for withstanding the Shroud’s relentless advance.

Enshrouded also offers cooperative gameplay, allowing up to 16 players to join forces, carving out unique roles and complementary skills to raid, gather treasure, and battle the relentless Fell hordes. The game’s vibrant biomes and fallen cultures, from the mystical Kindlewastes desert to the dark canopies of The Revelwood, immerse players in an ever-unfolding story of magic, ruin, hope, and redemption. Prepare to ignite the ancient power of the Flame and embark on a journey to shape your destiny in Enshrouded.

“A Worthy Adventure”

Enshrouded is par for the course with most survival games released in early access. There are promising foundations and underwhelming systems in equal measure, but it gets key things right in the form of an engaging build system, a sense of adventure in exploration, and some great quality of life features. Probably more fun in co-op with friends, there’s enough here for most survival veterans to enjoy so long as their expectations are suitably adjusted for early access titles.
