StreamerLuxthoswas initially having a good time, digging the hot new survival RPG on the block while speaking to their chat. The task of the moment was to build a basement, a task they had apparently spent three hours on as they were using a pickaxe. Unknown to them, though, that the Construction Hammer exists to make the task much quicker.
“So, you’ve been enjoying Enshrouded? I am too, I just spent the last three hours digging a basement underneath my base using a pickaxe,” they say. “That’s until someone mentioned to me that you can simply terraform the ground away using the construction hammer.”
The pain is visible as they bury their head in their hands, three hours of labor up in smoke. On the bright side, the rest of us won’t be making that mistake now, so I guess it’s not a total loss?
That snafu aside, Enshrouded has recovered from a rocky Early Access launch to earn a much healthier one. We say that as anemergency server crash hotfix was needed to course correct a rough one, though more recent Steam reviews are now sitting at ‘Very Positive,’ so it appears to have done the trick nicely.
Part of the appeal is the blend of Valheim-like survival with Dark Souls combat. Don’t be put off by the latter, though, asfans reckon Enshrouded is way easierthan either of those games.
