Kingdom Come: Deliverance - Preview @ Cliqist

[Couchpotato]

If you want to read another preview for Kingdom Come: Deliverance then head on over to Cliqist. Anyway it's nothing we haven't read before though.

The entire design of the game it meant to be as authentic as possible, including the attire, dialogue, and environment. Kingdom Come: Deliverance is meant to feel as if the player is directly in the year 1403, dealing with armies invading villages and sword fighting enemies.

A RPG just wouldn’t be the same without some sort of leveling or upgrading system though; so players have the option to design and create their own weaponry. All around the world are skill-based mini games to help improve one’s skill and equipment. Players can whittle away their days refining and upgrading weaponry or just making some alcohol and indulging in culinary masterpieces; there should be plenty around and about to occupy the player’s interest.

The combat system seems to be the most meticulously put together part of Kingdom Come: Deliverance. Warhorse Studios actually brought in professional swordsmen for reference and tried to make the physics as realistic as possible. Battles aren’t frequent events and castle sieges are considered to be a highlight in the story; so when they happen there’s weight and significance. However, there will still be plenty of times when the player will be up against crowds of enemies, so gathering allies would be a great idea.

"Battles aren't frequent events..."

That's rather surprising to me. If that statement is accurate, I'm a bit more interested. I was under the impression this would be a very combat heavy game.

The game world looks gorgeous (in a medieval sense of the word) and I'm looking forward towards this game heavy combat or not.

I hope at least that you can find a fight without too much difficulty, when you really want to. It'd be a shame to have the most advanced medieval combat system ever in a game and then have few occasions to use it.

Yeah I hope you can join a tournament or pick a fight in a bar when you want.
