The developers boast an extremely true-to-life experience with regular eating and sleeping being the least of the players worries. Not only are the historical figures and areas excellently researched, but the hardships and often barbaric nature of medieval Europe is ever-present throughout the game. The game’s setting is ripped straight from Czechia’s history books, taking place in the painstakingly recreated land of 1400s Bohemia. The project is a new IP brought to life by developer Warhorse Studios, a Prague-based company founded by Mafia and Mafia 2 creator Dan Vávra in 2011.
While many RPGs offer a fantasy escape to a new land, Kingdom Come: Deliverance offers a different experience, thrusting players back into a terrifyingly realistic portrayal of the dark ages.
Ask any gamer what their favourite game series is and a response including The Witcher or The Elder Scrolls will not be uncommon.
