Strategy RPG Kenshi Soundtrack Available Now

kenshigame_ost [1]

The soundtrack for the new indie RPG strategy sandbox game Kenshi has now dropped for your listening pleasure!

Available on Steam in early access, Kenshi [2] is a free-roaming RPG with squad-based combat and several class types for you to group up and roam the open-world environment with your team. The soundtrack of the game is equally diverse, being composed by Kole Hicks [3] (Pixel Privateers) and featuring some unique style in its composition.

The music system in Kenshi has been designed in such a way, that as you play through the game the engine randomly selects from a handful of different musical elements to create new compositional excerpts. It is this ambient approach and “non-player interactivity” of the music that reinforces Kenshi’s indifferent tone.Kenshi Bandcamp Page

The music does indeed seem random in its style, but it’s not jarring or off-putting as one might think. Although the title might make one think the music would be Asian-inspired, rest assured that the soundtrack has a good blend of several styles, including a title that actually makes me think a little bit of Diablo‘s “Tristram”, which is never a bad thing.

The Kenshi soundtrack is available for purchase on Bandcamp [4] and Loudr.fm [5] for $5.00.
