About

Penkura seamlessly blends a top-down base building system with immersive first-person survival exploration. Easy to grasp yet challenging to master, the game employs classic death mechanics that strip you of equipment upon demise. To overcome this, players can craft custom robotic companions, essential for base construction, resource gathering, and safeguarding settlements.

It encourages players to choose from a variety of approaches through which to complete their goals. Players will find themselves becoming experts in areas entirely of their choosing. The intention is that, when the co-op is unveiled, players will find that the interaction of their unique skill sets with those of their peers creates capable and rewarding team gameplay.

Penkura offers a range of buildings, machines, bots, and items to construct using the "MMC" (Molecular Matter Converter) or "CCC" (Command Control Communication) for a top-down perspective to build your base. Take control of your bots to explore or perform repairs from the safety of your base. Unleash the potential of the CCC!
Dive into the immersive world of Penkura's campaign mode, offering rich adventures. While currently under development. In co-op mode, you'll have the ability to construct massive stations and explore additional maps outside of adventure mode for added challenges as you tackle the new world together.


Deep beneath Antarctic ice, a Polish research team uncovers an ancient temple, a portal to a captivating new world.
As Earth faces overpopulation and devastation, Project "Gemini" initiates the migration of humanity to this promising planet. For 41 years, pioneers traverse the singularity, until contact is mysteriously severed.
Now, as a mercenary, you embark on a perilous journey through the unstable gateway,
tasked with survival and uncovering the secrets of the unknown world beyond.

I can't believe how much fun this game is. At first I felt lost and unable to figure out where to go or what to do. But as I progressed everything became clearer. How to grow plants, how to build different equipment to mine ores and make different things, etc. etc. My first base is complete with multiple batteries, turbines, solar panels, manufacturers, grow beds, hydrogel producers, etc. etc. I have done a reasonable amount of exploring and am now in the process of moving to my second base location. I love the tension that the game instils and the way that the story progresses. I really want to find out the answers I need, to know what happened and with who. I was worried that the game would be too hard for me but if you die (and I have), you can retrieve your items from your dead body. Also, with a full save and quick save feature, I am able to save before any dangerous encounters and reload from slightly earlier if necessary. It is important to know that the game is not finished (early access). Although I am still progressing, I understand that at some point I will reach a spot where I cannot progress any further. The dev has indicated that they are working on releasing a large update soon which should allow further advancement into the story. I have a 4080 graphics card and fast rig but my fans come on when I scroll the map. I don't think the map is optimized yet. Other than that, the game runs very smoothly with lots of setup options for various graphic/computer systems. I like the weather, the appearance of the game, being left alone to figure out things, the sense of mystery, really wanting to follow the story line, etc. etc. I really think this is a great game in the making and well worth the purchase.
