Developer Chris Hunt has launched an Indiegogo campaign to fund development of the free-roaming, squad-based RPG Kenshi.

Described as "X-Com meets Oblivion, with a dash of Stronghold," Kenshi promises an original take on the genre in which players manage a mining business and amass a fortune through exploration and research. An alpha version was featured in last month's GamersGate's Indie Fort Bundle

Kenshi has a funding goal of $40,000, but even if the goal isn't met, all pledged funds will be given to the developer when the campaign concludes on July 1st. Supporters who pledge $10 or more will receive a downloadable copy of the game upon its launch.
