On the side of the panel we can also see a Constitution, Spirit, Endurance, Strength, Dexterity and Intelligence stat that can also impact things, though we didn’t see how quite yet. Sprinkling major and minor skills from the Warrior, Mage, and Ranger classes, we see our custom character begin to come to life. One of the primary objectives the Keen team had was to make the game character class agnostic – something reflected in an absolutely massive skill tree. The demo started with our character prebuilt, but the developers are already saying they’ll have a robust creator to lean on.

Purpose built, this new engine would allow Keen to provide players with options unique to the genre, as well as elevating it above its contemporaries. The first thing that was immediately apparent was that Enshrouded was built with an entirely new and incredibly flexible engine. To combat this blight, the players must reshape the world, strike down the tide of evil creatures, and discover some way to ultimately destroy the Shroud once and for all. This Shroud permeates the land, consuming major sections of it and spawning horrible monsters, and worse. You are the last and best hope of pushing back a mysterious and lethal fog slowly creeping across the land called “Shroud”.

That’s a long development cycle, but after our hands-off demo, it’s very clear as to why.Įnshrouded casts the player as a “Flameborn”.

For those unfamiliar with Keen’s work, their previous work includes Portal Knights, Olympus Rising, Sacred 3, and others, but since 2016, Enshrouded has been their primary project. Recently we had an opportunity to go eyes-on with Enshrouded, an upcoming Early Access survival crafting game from developer Keen Games.
