About Kingdom Come: Deliverance
Kingdom Come: Deliverance is developed by Warhorse Studios and published by Deep Silver, originally released in February 2018. You play as Henry, the son of a blacksmith in the village of Skalice, whose life is upended by a Cuman raid ordered by King Sigismund during the Bohemian civil war of 1403. Unlike most RPGs, KCD contains no magic, no fantasy creatures, and no fictional history, every location, political event, and character type is based on documented medieval Bohemia. The combat system is directional and skill-based, modelled after HEMA (Historical European Martial Arts) rather than action game conventions. The game holds a "Very Positive" Steam rating from over 100,000 reviews and was followed by Kingdom Come: Deliverance II in February 2025.
Key Features
-
No magic, no fantasy — pure historical RPG: KCD is set exclusively in real 15th-century Bohemia with documented historical events as the backdrop. There are no dragons, magic systems, or fictional races. Enemies are human soldiers, bandits, and Cuman mercenaries. The world operates on medieval physics, economics, and social hierarchy.
-
Directional melee combat based on HEMA: The combat system uses six directional attack zones with corresponding blocks. Mastery requires learning combinations (Master Strikes, ripostes) and adapting to enemy stances. Combat improves through use, the more you fight with a weapon type, the more effective Henry becomes. A new player in a sword fight will struggle; an experienced Henry will dominate.
-
Organic skill progression - skills level through use: Henry has no character class. Every skill, Strength, Agility, Speech, Alchemy, Lockpicking, Stealth, Riding, advances by performing the corresponding action. Reading improves Literacy. Hunting improves Hunting. Sleeping drunk improves Drinking. There is no XP system divorced from activity.
-
Open world — Bohemian countryside recreated: The map is modelled on the real Sázava river valley region of Bohemia. Towns, forests, monasteries, and castle ruins are based on documented medieval geography. NPCs follow daily schedules, markets open in the morning, taverns fill at night, guards change shifts.
-
Branching quests with genuine consequences: Quests can be failed, completed through multiple approaches (stealth, combat, persuasion, bribery), or bypassed entirely. Some questlines close permanently based on choices made elsewhere. The game does not warn you when you are making an irreversible decision.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Do I need to play Kingdom Come: Deliverance 1 before KCD2?
Yes, strongly recommended. Kingdom Come: Deliverance II (released February 2025) continues Henry's story directly from the end of KCD1 - the same protagonist, the same supporting characters, and story threads established in the first game. Playing KCD2 without KCD1 will spoil the narrative and miss significant character development. KCD1 also teaches the combat system at a manageable pace before KCD2 expands on it.
Is Kingdom Come: Deliverance difficult? is it realistic to the point of being frustrating?
KCD has a steep early learning curve. The first few hours, learning to fight, read, ride, and navigate without a minimap, are intentionally difficult. Most players who push past the first 5-10 hours report the difficulty becoming rewarding rather than frustrating, because skill progression is tangible and Henry's growth reflects genuine player improvement. The game can be modded on PC to adjust difficulty if needed (save game mods, combat rebalances).
What DLC is available and is it included in this key?
This key covers the KCD base game only. Four major DLC packs exist: From the Ashes (settlement building), The Amorous Adventures of Bold Sir Hans Capon (comedy questline), Band of Bastards (mercenary questline), and A Woman's Lot (alternate protagonist campaign). All DLC is available separately; the Royal Edition bundles the base game with all four DLC packs if you want the complete experience.
