Keen Games released last week its co-op survival action RPG, Enshrouded, on Steam Early Access. And, in just four days, this new survival game has managed to sell over one million units.
Enshrouded supports both solo and co-op modes. Each session can support up to 16 players. In this game, players can venture into a vast world, vanquish punishing bosses, build grand halls and forge their path.
The game features a voxel-based building mechanic, similar to that of Minecraft. Thanks to this system, players can create grand architecture on an epic scale, customized with a vast assortment of materials and furniture.
What’s also interesting here is that Enshrouded uses its own custom engine, called the Holistic Engine. Yeap, this game is not powered by the Unity Engine or Unreal Engine 5. Not only that, but Enshrouded looks amazing. So kudos to Keen Games for developing their own engine.
As said, the game is currently in Early Access. Keen Games plans to take it out of Early Access within a year. Its Early Access build has all of its core gameplay elements. During the Early Access phase, the team plans to improve and add new gameplay features. Additionally, it will try to expand the world significantly.
From the looks of it, the game can also scale well on older PC systems. To run the game, PC gamers will at least need an Intel Core i5-6400 or AMD Ryzen 5 1500X with 16GB of RAM and an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 or AMD Radeon RX 580. Keen Games recommends using an Intel i7-8700 or an AMD Ryzen 7 2700X with 16GB of RAM and an NVIDIA RTX 2070 Super or an AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT.
