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.
Don’t just take my word for it, either. In our Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 review, Richard Wakeling said that the game is a “massively improved sequel in every other area, with better combat, quest design, and none of the technical issues that plagued the original.” That’s not random praise; the game scored a 9/10 in our review, and I completely agree with it.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 has gone from a game I simply wanted to try out to one of my favorites of all time, and it’s made me keen to see what Warhorse Studios does next. With a Middle-earth RPG also confirmed by the developer, well, I don’t need a town crier to tell me how good that news is.
If you want to see what all of the praise is about, you can grab Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 for just $23.99 / £19.99 at Fanatical. That’s an excellent deal, and considering the main story alone will take you around 55 hours, give or take, that’s a lot of content for a fraction of the usual price. Best of all, it’s a Steam key, so there’s no need to download any extra launchers, thankfully.
