A long time ago the land of Embervale was a beautiful place, filled with busy towns and settlements scattered across its rich, intricate landscape. Those were good times for as long as they lasted, but then the shroud descended and the monsters took over, leaving behind a deadly mist in the lowlands and dangerous creatures everywhere. Embervale is empty now, with only a few people left sleeping in pods found in remote sections of the realm, and the towns lie in ruins. It's a terrible place to be, which hasn't stopped three million players from carving out a new homestead or two in Enshrouded's hostile but somehow welcoming landscape.
Turns Out Lots Of People Are Good With a Fixer-Upper
Enshrouded is one of the biggest and most successful survival games out there, playing a little like a cross between Valheim and modern Zelda. You need to keep an eye on the thirst and hunger meters while running about, and building a functioning village to house Embervale's few survivors lets you take advantage of their crafting skills, but when not caught up in homesteading there's a full action-RPG to attack in whatever manner seems best. Beat on enemies with swords...
