About Enshrouded
Enshrouded is a survival RPG from Keen Games, released January 24, 2024, for PC and consoles. You play a Flameborn, fighting to restore your kingdom while battling a toxic fog. The game blends fast-paced combat with survival mechanics like hunger and stamina, plus co-op play for up to 16 players. Its open world is filled with ruins to explore and bosses to defeat. The core hook is building bases and managing resources in a hostile environment. It’s a mix of action, crafting, and teamwork, set in a fantasy world where decay and rebirth clash.
Gameplay
The game cycles around gathering materials, upgrading gear, and fending off enemies. Combat is action-oriented, requiring timing and weapon switching. Boss fights demand memorizing attack patterns. Stamina management is constant, running or attacking depletes it rapidly. Co-op play lets groups share crafting and tackle challenges together, but loot is split randomly. Base building involves placing prefabs to create safe zones, with placement affecting defenses. The fog spreads over time, forcing you to push deeper into hostile areas. Missions often involve exploration, resource farming, and combat in tight loops.
What Players Think
Enshrouded holds a 67% positive rating on Steam, with 17% mixed and 16% negative. Average playtime is 16 hours, though 27% of players finish the story. The game ranks #54 on Twitch. Community moods skew hopeful and determined, with 38% calling it “addictive” and 22% criticizing its grind. Some praise the co-op chaos, while others cite repetitive resource gathering. 34% of players complete the main story within 20 hours. Achievement data shows 68% have unlocked the “Unstoppable” title, tied to defeating bosses, but only 11% achieve the full 100% completion.
PlayPile's Take
Enshrouded is a solid pick for survival RPG fans who like co-op and base-building. The $59.99 price tag matches its depth, though the grind might deter casual players. Achievements are rewarding but require patience, boss fights are tough without a group. It’s not impressive, but the blend of action and survival ticks enough boxes to justify the cost. If you enjoy persistent worlds and teamwork, it’s worth the investment. Otherwise, skip the fog.
