\n### The Legend of Khiimori: An Early Access Journey Through 13th Century Mongolia<\/p>\n

Are you ready to horse around? The early access launch of the unique game, [The Legend of Khiimori](https:\/\/www.rockpapershotgun.com\/games\/windstorm-the-legend-of-khiimori), perfectly embodies the intersection of “horse girls” and “history buffs.” Set in 13th century Mongolia, players take on the role of a courier whose primary mode of transportation is, unsurprisingly, a horse.<\/p>\n

In this game, you’re not simply riding into the sunset; you play an active role in training and caring for your horses. You’ll have opportunities to breed them, crafting unique traits reminiscent of IVs and EVs from iconic franchises like Pok\u00e9mon. Proper care for your steeds includes ensuring they are well-fed with tasty morsels tailored to their needs.<\/p>\n

As a survival game, The Legend of Khiimori presents challenges consistent with the era; there’s no convenience store around the corner. Players must forage for resources, hunt for food, and craft tonics to keep their horses in peak condition. Route planning becomes essential\u2014a skill highlighted by RPS alum Matt Jarvis, who pointed out its similarities to the renowned game, [Death Stranding](https:\/\/www.rockpapershotgun.com\/games\/death-stranding).<\/p>\n

The game is rich in systems-driven mechanics, and while the early access version emphasizes these elements, it currently lacks a fully fleshed-out narrative. The experience promises depth, allowing players to get lost in the intricacies of horse management and survival.<\/p>\n

Though still in early access, The Legend of Khiimori has already begun implementing features like English and Mongolian voice acting, albeit not for every element of gameplay just yet. Upcoming additions are expected to include falconry, horse racing, various customization options for horses and characters, as well as a peaceful mode and more horse breeds.<\/p>\n

For players eager to embark on this equestrian adventure, The Legend of Khiimori is available for purchase on Steam [here](https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/2697000\/The_Legend_of_Khiimori\/).
