An Approachable ARPG Offering Voxel Based Destruction! – Enshrouded Demo –
16Enshrouded is an Open World Action RPG with Voxel Based Terrain Destruction!
Voxel based Destruction:
I like how you can attack wooden walls, cutting them down and getting wood; nice.
You can also cut down trees, smash down doors, and use your pick to literally tear through the earth, digging pits and mines where you wish.
Enshrouded is a very destructible game, allowing the player to put their marks all over it if they really want.
I was tearing apart a ruin after killing the monsters in the basement, using my pickaxe to rip and tear mushrooms out of the rubble; fun!
A Very Approachable ARPG:
Enshrouded is a very Approachable ARPG.
Monsters start off pretty weak, and are able to be dps chained staggered, and your character is fast, and can jump and dodge roll around with no cooldown, so just cut em down and take their stuff.
There is a Base Building aspect to the game, but for what I’ve seen, you are never attacked 7 Days To Die style, so there is no current pressure to build and defend your claim; just build what you need, and decorate if that is your thing.
You can gather food and water, but your character, being some kind of created flame being, doesn’t have to eat or drink here, though doing so does provide bonuses.
So, there is ZERO chance of you starving to death Minecraft style!
When you die, you respawn back at your last visited respawn flame, with death only costs you ½ seeming your inventory, and none of your equipped gear on stuff on your two hotbars , so you can just run back and grab your stuff at your tombstone when you feel ready.
RPG:
When you start, Enshrouded has you visually customize your character’s appearance and voice, choosing from a few options, and then start the game.
There are no class restrictions here; you can build your character as you wish, gaining exp as you slaughter the foul monsters throughout the land.
When you lvl, you pick a new skill on the huge Final Fantasy X like sphere grid style skill tree; nice.
Online Co-op is present, in case that is something that interests you.
Controller support is present, as is good old mouse and keyboard.
I found the gamepad felt best here, so that is what I used above.
Note: This is an early look at Enshrouded so any bugs or other oddness is not representative of the final product.
Still, Enshrouded is a very good looking, Approachable ARPG with Voxel Based Terrain Destruction, and is easily well worth a wishlist and a watch.
