The survival game genre certainly has no shortage of representatives. However, it must be said that individual projects often look very similar. However, sometimes a piece comes on stage that stands out from the crowd. And it is among such games that Enshrouded is included, which we will consider in the following lines of gaming impressions.
In Enshrouded you are sent to a fallen world.
The story of this work takes place in the magical kingdom of Ambervale, which before the start of this story was a relatively decent place to live. But then a magical liquid appeared on the scene, which had a huge impact on people’s behavior. A number of conflicts have broken out around the world. However, this is not the only thing that began to worry its residents. The magic well spilled out from its depths a terrifying curse that turned more than one living creature into a deadly creature.
The only hope for this doomed universe is you in Enshrouded. Actions are simply impossible without heroes. You begin your journey in the bowels of a strange machine, from which you will soon go into a world that, at first glance, beckons you to study it properly, and I must say that it did not disappoint my expectations in any way. It was full of interesting things to discover, leaving me constantly feeling like there was some great adventure waiting around the next corner.
However, exploration and the associated discovery of an impressive world full of information is not the only thing that the authors of Enshrouded rely on. Construction is also very important to you here, which probably won’t come as much of a surprise to players familiar with the genre. Base construction is something that simply cannot be done without under any circumstances. Raw materials for it can be obtained by felling trees, as well as by digging with a pickaxe. Yes, burying the ground has the effect here, thanks to which you often not only mine, but also undermine enemy walls.
Once you have dug up enough raw materials, you can begin construction. Personally, I was pleased with the fact that it doesn’t take much to make items and building blocks. In most cases, a few pieces are enough and you can already produce everything necessary for the implementation of large fortresses or small bases that serve only as rest points.
The idea that the fortress you build can be populated in Enshrouded even outside of multiplayer is a good one. Yes, you read that right. As you travel around the world, you can find other positive characters to summon in your base space. Thus, you have the opportunity to become a blacksmith, alchemist, hunter or woodworking specialist. Each of the characters will bring their own recipes to your fortification, which you can implement. For example, a blacksmith found almost at the start will allow you to build a forge and a smelting furnace, which will give you access to new equipment necessary for more effective survival in this harsh world.
This can’t be done without a fight.
It may surprise you, but the combat system is only as good as the building. Its processing is one of the main trump cards of Enshrouded. It’s rare for competitors to come up with something as flexible as the fight format you’re working with in this article. It brings back memories of very successful role-playing games in which he plays the prim. This may sound a little strong, but the protagonist’s mobility and combat effectiveness reminds me a lot of the format used by the often independent soul-like games that follow in the footsteps of the legendary brand.
Individual tools behave differently here. For example, when you wield a two-handed axe, you have to consider that it is a completely different weapon in terms of mobility than a sword, a relatively maneuverable bow, or a wand. Overall, I didn’t find it difficult to enjoy the fight at all. That’s why I really enjoyed the monster hunting, and it’s definitely one of the elements that will make me want to return to Enshrouded one day.
The range of monsters that could be hunted was relatively varied. Players will face ordinary wolves, infected people and terrifying creatures from their worst nightmares. In addition to simple opponents, there are also special figures whose defeat is a worthy challenge. However, overall I could imagine that a higher percentage of species and forms would be found here. However, the creators are still working on this, as well as on various fundamental errors, which, apparently, cannot be avoided during early access.
The Enshrouded event already has decent potential
Traveling into the Ambervale universe was an interesting experience that I really enjoyed. I was offered a beautifully crafted fantasy world full of deadly monsters that were excellent to fight. In my opinion, the concept of survival, which is primarily concerned with construction, is based on quality fundamentals and, moreover, does not require too much from the player in terms of implementing buildings or creating objects. Here and there a mistake came my way, but it didn’t happen very often.
However, Enshrouded, in my opinion, can to some extent compensate for entering early access at a time when the attention is completely focused on Palword. However, I definitely keep my fingers crossed for the creators because they managed to create an interesting project that can definitely interest you. Let’s see what else they can add to PC during Early Access. But the potential is huge, so we hope that the authors will make the most of it.
