Kingdom Come: Deliverance is an upcoming Crowd funded ambitious RPG that is already in Alpha and Beta testing. Having already hit their kickstarter goals, Prague based developer Warhorse is moving forward with an eye towards a summer 2016 release. The game takes place in the 15th century and a lot of work has gone into it to make it as historically accurate as possible, which also means a true middle ages experience. No magic, undead, and no dragons. Songs from the era have been recreated and even a number of castles have had collaboration between architects and historians to accurately reconstruct them. The game takes place in the Kingdom of Bohemia during a war for succession and the main character is a blacksmith who seeks revenge for the death of his family.
Features of the game include a Classless system that allows a player to focus on skills they wish to improve. Stats and abilities grow through a players usage and decisions in game. Even an NPCs reaction in a conversation can be affected by how fast or slowly a player reacts in conversation. There is a reputation system in this game as well as a crime system which can directly impact one’s reputation or affect an area’s economy. The player Character seems to have a general knowledge of all weapons. While also having needs to be met, such as eating and sleeping, equipment degrades over time and even shows the disrepair visually, letting a player see when it is in need of repair.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance will take place in the first person perspective with a multitude of martial options, large scale battles and the world of Deliverance will be interactive. A player character can even alter an NPCs behavior and daily routine. Horses are not only a mode of transportation but can be used to store extra gear, can be equipped with different armor and you can engage in combat while riding. As for the activities, many of the quests are open ended with multiple ways to complete. They have promised branching dialogue and a step away from the cliched “go kill rats” quests in favor of interesting scenarios like solving who is behind a mass murder spree. There is also crafting, mining, fishing, cooking, and brewing, which can immerse a player for as long as they wish. The main quest will “wait” if you wish to go off the beaten path and do some exploring.
If you love RPGs and wish for more realism in a video game especially when it comes to setting, combat and horseback riding then Kingdom Come: Deliverance might be the game for you to check out. The Game will initially launch on PC, but an Xbox One and Playstation 4 version are also planned. You can access the alpha versionhere.
