When I first booted up Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, I wasn’t too sure what to expect. I hadn’t played the first game (I know, I know, put down the pitchforks!), and, as someone who prefers fantasy over medieval settings, it wasn’t my usual cup of tea. However, it quickly became one of my favorite RPGs ever, as I watched Henry go from a ragtag blacksmith’s son to a strong knight once again. Now, you can grab it at its lowest price ever.
Like many of the best RPGs ever made, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 knows how to immerse you in its world. You play as Henry of Skalitz, a man-at-arms who suffers major injuries during a trip to Trosky Castle thanks to a bunch of no-good bandits. That puts you, playing as Henry, back to square one, needing to work your way back up in the world. To be honest, it’s a pretty clever way to reset your stats to zero after the first game (which I played afterward, thankfully).
15th-century Bohemia is, unsurprisingly, not the safest place. A civil war is brewing, and in a world where we don’t have buses and trains to take us where we need to go, travel is lengthy. You can’t just pull out a sword and, like an anime protagonist, defeat every enemy you come across. Nope. Henry, especially at the start, is weak, vulnerable, and on a path to revenge. Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 absolutely nails that feeling.
