Bohemia – located in the heart of Europe, the region is rich in culture, silver, and sprawling castles. The death of its beloved ruler, Emperor Charles IV, has plunged the kingdom into dark times: war, corruption, and discord are tearing this jewel of the Holy Roman Empire apart.

His half-brother and King of Hungary, Sigismund the Red Fox, senses weakness in Wenceslas. Feigning good will, Sigismund travels to Bohemia and kidnaps his half-brother. With no king on the throne, Sigismund is now free to plunder Bohemia and seize its riches.
In the midst of this chaos, you’re Henry, the son of a blacksmith. Your peaceful life is shattered when a mercenary raid, ordered by King Sigismund himself, burns your village to the ground. By bittersweet fortune, you are one of the few survivors of this massacre.
Without a home, family, or future you end up in the service of Lord Radzig Kobyla, who is forming a resistance against the invasion. Fate drags you into this bloody conflict and shoves you into a raging civil war, where you help fight for the future of Bohemia.

| Game Analysis | Powered by CryEngine 3, Kingdom Come: Deliverance will be looking for powerful computer hardware to reach a good frame rate at 1080p.The processor requirement currently is an Intel i5-3570 or AMD FX-8320 CPU with 16GB of system memory. The recommended graphics specs will need an AMD R9 390 or Nvidia GTX 970 with 4GB VRAM to reach reliable FPS with playing Deliverance. These Deliverance requirements are subject to update at this stage, and we feel it will scale down from these heavy requirements, because it is also going to be available on current console platforms. Kingdom Come: Deliverance is Czech developer Warhorse Studio's first title, pitched as a realistic open-world, first-person, medieval RPG that promises no magic, fantasy or mythical overtones, instead entrenched in historically accurate characters and battles. | |

Atmosphere
Realism
Music
Very large open-world
Educative
Lots of bugs
Annoying save-system
Conversation options are unpredictable
I really liked the realism, music and the overall atmosphere of this game but the amount of bugs made me quit after having completed about 50% of the main storyline. It wouldn’t have been so bad if there was a quick-save option, but now, if you’re unlucky, you can be set back several hours if a bug (like falling through the ground or getting stuck in a tree etc. etc.) suddenly strikes. Happened to me several times.
A excellent RPG system
An interesting and unique setting
Some really good graphics
Great protagonist
Main cast has great voice acting
Wonderful orchestral music
Sub-par animation outside of cutscenes
Combat only works occasionally
Weak main story & boring side quests
Way too much focus on realism
The goddamn saving system!
The RPG system is excellent. You might never become a overpowered god by the end, but you’ll notice a difference from being a common peasant, to somewhat semi-competent soldier by the end. A lot of RPG tend to forget that, and it’s a nice sense of progression. And that they forged it after The Elder Scrolls games, one of my favorite systems RPG, is no minus either. In fact, The Elder Scrolls could learn a thing or from this system. Also, Bohemia in the 1400s is an excellent setting, and having the game historically accurate without magic or monsters makes this such a refreshing experience contrarily to everything on the marked.
The overall graphics are really good. The lighting is atmospheric, the texture work is excellently detailed, and even if my system couldn’t run it on max settings on PC, it still looked good. Performance wise it was a bit all over the place, but never unplayable.
The voice acting is a mixed bag. The principal cast all almost all well acted, especially Henry, but almost all the side characters lack the same attention. Far from the worst I’ve heard, but noticeable. Much of the same can be said about the music. It’s almost flawless in cut scenes and in big moments, but when exploring or in normal combat it becomes repetitive and unforgettable.
The animation, again like the music and voice acting, looks good in per-rendered cutscenes, but outside it’s stiff and extremely uncanny valley. The combat is easy to learn, hard to master like any good combat, only here it doesn’t seem to always work. It’s really clunky, the hit detection is really weird, and way too often feel like it’s hold together with duct tape.
As I said before, the game still lacks polish. Even though the most outrageous bugs have been fixed, it’s still far from finished. Also, the story has absolutely no surprises in store. It’s predictable, uses way too many tired cliches. Some of the late game quest are so horrible designed and written it baffled me. Most of the characters are stereotypes of the worst kind, or not fetched out enough. The only two highlights are how you choose to play Henry, which is varied with a lot of options, and a certain priest… who I don’t want to spoil for anyone, so I’ll just leave it at that.
The side quest are for most of the time really lackluster and mindless, missing the simplest depth. Only a handheld of them felt worth doing, others only lead to regret. The games desire to put realism is admirable, but is ultimately to the games detriment. Good game design is “make it more realistic”, said no one ever. It just makes it even worse when the AI in the game is this dumb, and throws all realism unintentionally out the window.
Which brings us to the worst thing about this game: The goddamn saving system. I don’t mind a save system like this, but in order to warrant it, your game needs to have a high polish, which the game in many cases doesn’t have. The most outrageous example was when I was riding to a town, and my controller suddenly unplugged. The horse kept riding straight into a bandit camp. The horse got spooked, threw me off, and I was stabbed to death by the bandits. Normally I would find this funny, if it wasn’t for the two hours of progress lost in the process. The same can be said about many bugged quests, game crashes, or a simple player mistakes like putting all your money into a chest for safekeeping, only to find it deleted and gone forever in the next. This saving system cost me 15000 grochen!!! To warrant a save system like this requires Naughty Dog/From Soft/Rockstar level of quality, something this game doesn’t have, and never will. If I hadn’t played with a save-anytime mod, I think I would have given up in the first ten hours.
Conclusion: Despite some major flaws, I’ve been hooked on this game for a whole week. I’ve enjoyed my time in Bohemia, and despite it’s bugs, clunky design and other technical issues, It’s been one of the most enjoyable RPGs I’ve played in a long while. It’s take is refreshing and unique, even though Warhorse got lost in their REALISM philosophy. At the end of the day, despite all my grievances, I only have a hope that they’ll learn form this, and make a better sequel some day. If so, we might have a new classic western RPG like The Witcher 3 on our hands. My suggestion for a potential sequel: Streamline, not dumb down. Keep the RPG elements, tweak the combat, and maybe lock some of the realism and save system behind a difficulty setting, so that more people can enjoy your game, because it’s certainly worth playing, but right now, not for everyone.
