Is It Worth Playing ENSHROUDED as an ARK Player?

Enshrouded is the new Survival RPG from the German Gamestudio Keengames. But if you're now an ARK player and you always ever played ARK. Is it worth it playing Enshrouded or is it a completely different game? We're looking into the differences and similarities.

I enjoy it alot, playing with my partner as we ran out of things to do in ASA. Waiting for scorched... I do hope they add some sort of animal husbandry at some point but time will tell.

Thought I'd love this game even rented a nitrado server just to figure out launch day that the multi-player is not really there it's nothing like ark in the multi-player aspect no separate tribes and if your server is public people will just come rob you and demolish your base since they just join right into your group when randoms connect in

I find myself to really enjoy Enshrouded, and have put 102.4 hours into the game when typing this. Even though I can see a lot of inspiration from other games (both survival and not), it's also very different. I don't mind them taking good elements from other games and using them in their own game, as that only makes the game better (in my opinion). There are of course some gripes I have with the game, but it's surprisingly polished for being early access. It's not 2015 Ark, that's for sure 😄
All in all I think it's a 7/10 for now. Actually, 8/10 after the patch yesterday. They did some much appreciated changes with that one.

It's a huge missed opportunity not atleast being able to have separate groups on the same server

[@rohannaik7813]

You mean like player's spawning in different locations? I think since the game is quest based, and is PvE, I think they would want people to spawn in the same location.

[@x_z0mb1_x]

@rohannaik7813 yea just not what I expected when I heard 16 player and could rent a public server for it I expected something more like ark. My mistake just do your homework before jumping in its only meant to be played really with your own group of friends when all players are online at the same time

[@rohannaik7813]

@@x_z0mb1_x Hahah yeah I'm not into PvP 'cause I suck, and need time to learn the game, lol. So it's perfect for me.

[@Hi-li9ju]

Can pvp/ compete with other groups on the map?

[@TiiaAurora]

It is a PvE game. PvP has been suggested by the community and there might be implementations but they are not in the game right now

[@EddieDasilva-po8wn]

Isn’t enshrouded only for pc?

[@TiiaAurora]

For now yes. But it will come to consoles in the future

[@chadbooker9182]

Reminds me too much of Skyrim. I'd rather play it than enshrouded

[@TiiaAurora]

I never got into Skyrim. I have maybe 13h and regretted buying it

[@chadbooker9182]

@@TiiaAurora I feel like if you get bored or another gaming drought comes, you should give it another go. i always felt an abundance of things to do and explore throughout the game and that’s without any mods. just the generic vanilla game and they’ve got 3 DLCs to try out, but to each their own i guess if u don’t lol

[@TiiaAurora]

@@chadbooker9182 I tried it 3 times so far and I got super annoyed and frustrated in the game really quick. So I just accepted it was not for me

[@second.wave.survivors]

I think I'll pass on enshrouded, the building system looks cool but the gameplay just doesn't look very fun.

[@TiiaAurora]

It definitely is different to ARK or other survival games.

[@Wft-bu5zc]

It is kind of repetitive... I think when the game is 100% complete it'll be better.
