Kingdom Come: Deliverance II Preview

As children, we all have dreams of what we could become or achieve. As we grow older, these dreams evolve, change, and sometimes remain unattainable fantasies of the past. Many kids dream of being knights or princesses in the medieval era as they grow up.

Even as adults, many gamers still harbor the desire to experience that world, leading to the popularity of games like The Elder Scrolls (Skyrim/ESO/Oblivion), Dragon Age, For Honor, The Witcher, and even Dark Souls. In 2018, a new action role-playing video game called Kingdom Come: Deliverance was released, offering a realistic Middle Ages experience.

Following the success of the game, Warhorse Studios embarked on a journey to bring gamers a new epic tale. With Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 set to launch early next month on February 4th, let’s delve into the upcoming game and share our initial thoughts on it.

Upon starting Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, you’ll encounter a learning curve. The game kicks off with core mechanics introduction while a castle is under siege, believed to be the same one from the previous installment.

The story picks up where the epilogue of the previous game left off, following Henry and Sir Hans Capon as they journey to Trosky castle. Along the way, they encounter Trosky soldiers warning of increased bandit presence, setting events in motion that lead to a challenging journey for Henry and Hans.

Playing Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 can be challenging initially, requiring perseverance before it starts to feel enjoyable. The game provides necessary information within extensive text, making it a bit overwhelming for some players.

Tasks like lockpicking and repairing equipment may seem daunting at first but offer a semi-realistic experience once you get the hang of it. The game introduces a mechanic where your character’s skills are reset due to life-threatening circumstances, adding to the challenge.

Improving stats and skills in the game can be tedious but rewarding, offering a challenge that some players may appreciate. However, accumulating wealth can be difficult without resorting to unlawful activities, which can have consequences in the game world.

In Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, saving progress is not as straightforward as in typical games, requiring specific conditions to save your game progress. This adds a layer of difficulty and risk to the gameplay experience.

While Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 presents challenges and bugs that may frustrate players, it offers a unique and immersive experience for those who enjoy historically rich narratives and are willing to overcome the initial hurdles.

If you are seeking a challenging and immersive gaming experience with a rich historical setting, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 may be worth exploring. However, be prepared for a steep learning curve and a potentially frustrating initial build-up before the game truly shines.
