Combat and Upgrades

The game offers an enjoyable action combat system that pits you against several types of enemies. Each enemy has its own attack patterns and can provide a formidable challenge. Use items you find or craft to defeat your enemies and become stronger.

As you level up, you can unlock new skills and shape your character around your preferred playstyle. There are several build archetypes to choose from, and you can mix different abilities to create your own unique build.

Crafting

Crafting plays an important role in surviving and thriving in Enshrouded. You can create everything from weapons and armor to building materials and crafting stations. Crafting is divided between manual crafting and workbench crafting.

Manual crafting allows you to create simpler items, such as early weapons and basic materials, while workbench crafting is essential for more elaborate creations. Certain items can also only be crafted with the help of dedicated NPC crafters.

Exploration

Exploration is another major part of Enshrouded! A vast open world is waiting to be discovered. Search every nook and cranny to collect valuable materials, defeat enemies, uncover secrets and discover new locations!

The Shroud is a deadly mist that has spread across the land, making exploration more dangerous. You can survive inside the Shroud, but only for a limited amount of time. Thankfully, there are items and tools that can help you extend your time within it.

Survival Mechanics

Enshrouded is a light Survival game for a reason! Its survival mechanics are designed to complement the adventure rather than constantly threaten your character’s life.

Eating and drinking provide useful combat bonuses, making you more effective when fighting tougher enemies. Sleep is also important if you want to maximize your efficiency and get the most out of your character.
