The fact is, some people will love it to death, and some people are going to hate everything about it. However, if you're easily bored by the realism and constant struggles you might face, then don't waste the money. If you truly enjoy a challenge and are willing to wade through the few hiccups in the game, then I couldn't recommend it more. And when Deliverance usually pits you against three people or more at once, then you find yourself getting more irritated than needed.ĭeliverance is unique, innovative, and specially crafted to offer a medieval experience without the magic and monsters. But if the game has faults in the gameplay, then Hardcore becomes more than that. A high difficulty should definitely be what it is, so there's no point in complaining about it. Of course, this isn't really the problem. One of the most frustrating is that you can't even see your health bar throughout the playthrough. As you can see from the image above, there's a nice little list of things to remember when you play. Hardcore mode is a whole different story. Survival aspects are hard enough to handle on their own. Yet, overall, Deliverance remains pretty solid in the gameplay department. But not knowing where to go next can be a frustrating experience. It fits well with the game to not be coddled all the way through. Perhaps the biggest issue is the lack of direction given for each quest. But the rest of the issues are minute at most. Occasionally, the loading screens or the graphics will stall. The majority of which are nicely developed, albeit slow. There are also other gameplay features such as lockpicking, hunting, and of course, exploring. Once again, the odd setup of controls makes the learning curve a much bigger climb, but it still offers more than a "hack and slash" adventure. However, the game also allows you to use bows, daggers, and shields.

You're required to point your sword in whichever direction desired. To explain the swordplay more efficiently, think of a less meticulous version of For Honor's triangular attack system. The combat to Deliverance is both the good and the bad of doing something different from other games. But it's hard to immerse yourself when you continue to forget which button does what. This shouldn't deter you from playing since it's really just a small issue. Furthermore, the skills are set up in a peculiar way which causes confusion at first. There's no option to customize the layout either, so the strange controller scheme is here to stay. Menus upon menus which are accessed only by the D-Pad. And because of this, the system is very scattered. The UI needs to be expansive as to include all there is to offer in the game which includes everything from lore to side quests. In fact, the only real fault to the set up is that it's just simply hard to operate. This also includes more aesthetic and lore-friendly variables such as honor and theft, however, the game doesn't actually keep track of these through the system. And because Kingdom Come is fairly unguided, you can choose to develop whatever skills you wish. Essentially any action in the game goes towards a skill or category. Some of the additional skills are Horsemanship, Matienence, and even Drinking. Strength, Vitality, Charisma, and etcetera. Deliverance includes all the basic skills and more of your classic RPG.
#KINGDOM COME DELIVERANCE GAMEPLAY UPGRADE#
That being said, you can upgrade and define Henry himself as you see fit. While this isn't really a big deal, many people prefer a blank slate for RPGs. The game is practically completely open-world, although you are confined to certain areas during quests or story arcs.Īs of the latest update, Henry's only customization is his hair and beard. The quests vary from almost fetch-like to full-blown investigations, but nothing insane happens (everything stays within the lines of reality.) It's very easy to get lost in the world, and even with somewhat lacking graphics, the environments are fairly alluring to the eye. Next to the storyline are some smaller quests and a wide range of NPCs that are very immersive and well done. While the story isn't stellar, it's very historically friendly and keeps you on your toes with certain spins and twists. Most of the time, you'll be trying to keep yourself alive and help others through quests scattered throughout the game. He'll need to learn the ropes to quite literally everything as you go through the story. You play as Henry, a blacksmith's son and a young man that's a little bit dull in every way. Essentially, Kingdom Come: Deliverance is an RPG set in the Holy Roman Empire with a plot revolving around a civil war within Bohemia.
