Gameplay
Kingdom Come: Deliverance is an action-RPG game which focuses on the realistic depiction of medieval life. At the start of the game, the player creates their character from a set of adjustable features: facial structure, hair or lack thereof, height and weight, etc. Leaning heavily into realism, game features a needs system that requires the player to eat and sleep to stay healthy and strong. Clothing, armor and weapons wear out with time, which forces the player to keep constant maintenance of their inventory. The same goes for edible items, which will spoil over time.
The same level of realism is present in the combat system. The player can use long and short attacks. The game uses the inverse kinematics-based system to determine the effect of an attack with a specific weapon on both characters, e.g. slamming a mace against shield might throw both the enemy and the player off balance. Another important aspect of the game is horse-riding. While mounted, the player can perform different attacks than on foot, thus creating a potential advantage over the enemy. The player’s horse can serve also as their inventory.
