Priority fixes

  1. [title_readability] Redesign the Kenshi logotype with a bolder stroke weight or add a subtle dark outline/glow so it remains legible at 120x45 thumbnail size without losing its hand-drawn character.
  2. [genre_clarity] Introduce at least one secondary character or squad member silhouette to hint at the squad-based RPG nature, or add subtle UI or faction iconography that signals strategy depth.
  3. [uniqueness_polish] Replace or supplement the generic lone wanderer shot with a composition that shows a unique Kenshi moment such as multiple fighters, a faction standoff, or a distinctive creature to separate it from similar survival game capsules.
  4. [contrast_color] Increase the value contrast on the tower by adding a subtle rim light or brightening its silhouette so it reads as a distinct landmark element at small sizes.

Store copy priority fixes

  1. [feature_communication] Replace the verbatim first paragraph of the detailed description with a new hook sentence that previews a unique feature (e.g., 'Survive in a world where your injuries matter—a limp slows your squad, a severed arm forces tactical rethinking, and any of you can be captured and enslaved by chance.')—this recaptures reader attention and avoids repetition.
  2. [uniqueness] Strengthen comparisons by replacing 'largest single-player RPG world since Daggerfall' with concrete differentiators: 'Explore 870 square kilometers with zero level-scaling—you will face enemies stronger than you, and the world doesn't adapt to your level' to show what 'no hand-holding' actually means.
  3. [hook_strength] Add one sentence to the short description emphasizing the core failure risk: 'Lose limbs, get captured, starve, or watch your squad die—and learn to overcome it' would reinforce the consequence-driven appeal and set expectations.
