Staying alive in the inhospitable, post-apocalyptic world of the year 10,000 could be a challenge even for seasoned survivalists. Kent, the main character of the game Kentum, does his best to prove that even an average Joe would be able to handle this task. The discussed game is a work by the studio Tlon Industries (which has the game Per Aspera in its portfolio) and is a hybrid of an action platformer and a survival title.

Gameplay

In Kentum we watch the action from the side.

Hero's needs, crafting and building

During the game our primary task is to take care of the protagonist's needs. The main character initially obtains food by gathering it in the game world and by hunting the creatures that inhabit it. We must be careful not to become a meal for one of the roaming predators. Over time, however, the ability to build vivariums and breed animals, as well as cultivate the land, is gained. The recipes we collect can be used to prepare meals.
