    The worst game I've ever played in a long time, 0 fun. I waste 2 hours on this thrash. I would've read a book instead of playing this.

    Pero lo peor de todo es el combate, me he pasado todos los souls y el bloodborne, así que cuestión de habilidad no es, simplemente el combate está mal pensado, no haces nada de daño y a ti te matan de dos o tres golpes a demás de que en general es un sistema super torpe. Si a esto le sumas que casi siempre te ponen contra mas de un enemigo tienes frustración garantizada, no sientes que estes perdiendo por hacerlo mal, simplemente porque el juego no te da las herramientas para poder enfrentar enemigos.
    El problema de esto es que hay misiones principales en las que simplemente no puedes evitar pelear, así que o farmeas horas para hacer un daño decente, o no puedes avanzar en el juego.
    Muy descontento la verdad, es la primera vez que me desinstalo un juego a las 7 u 8 horas de empezar, MUY decepcionante.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game has good potential but the biggest problem is BUGS. You and NPCs get stuck at stairs, animals are too stupid to even run from you, at certain missions you FALL OUT OF THE MAP and yet after many updates they still REMAIN... And fighting in duels is too easy. Although when you're outnumbered against bandit ambush you have very rarely a chance of beating them.… Expand

    The AI will automatically counter your attacks and damage you based on your level, it has NOTHING to do with your own skill. There is an interesting mechanic where you can position your sword for directional attacks but that has NO bearing on the game at all, since the AI will block your attacks regardless, and there is a "Block Button".... a block button! Holy **** Why have a system where you position your strikes if you can block ALL attacks with a button! There's no flow!

    The only way to win combat is to "perfect block" which you do by pressing the Q key when the opponent attacks, which blocks AND damages them, for free, every time. It's far too easy to win like this, it ruins the entire combat of the game.

    Don't buy it. Do not. It's not worth your time. The devs also made it as difficult as possible for modders to attempt to save the game - the modding scene is dead, which means the game is dead.    … Expand

Instead what i got is a buggy, boring skeleton of a game.

    The story is not that bad, it could have been worse, but it is also not good, with our character basically walking and following other characters for first 6 hours of the game, the story seems to be missing something that can keep player interested during those walking trips, The choices you get in the game seem fake, to make you think that you have a choice, when you really don't; you get to choose whether you wanna gamble or not, but you can't choose whether or not you wanna challenge a lord to a swordfight. Our main character: Henry, is incredibly poorly made, making him look like a total wuss and a loser, this story does not make you feel you won anywhere from the start to the end.

    Gameplay is atrocious, it is unintuitive, which will force you to google every quest just to find out where to go or what to do. controls are unrensponsive, sometimes completely not responding to your input, and swordfights are laggy, making it look like you play on a PC from 10 years ago. It is a wasted 5 years of work. One thing i have to mention, is how it is unrealistic, and realistic at the same time: you have to eat, sleep, repair your armor, stanch bleeding, take out arrows from you, but if you hit someone in the throat with an arrow, they can just walk it off.

    Graphics, a bit less important aspect of a game, graphics looks like from ps3, GTA San Andreas had betted graphics, it has terrible shaders and shadows, making it look like a bad uniy game, not even mentioning the visual bugs that occur every few minutes, characters badly rendering in, not being in a cutscene, or just being invisible, i would expect more from a game like this.

    With all its bugs, unintuitiveness and clunky controls, this is one of the worst games i have ever played, landing near games like: Ride to hell retribution and mindjack. Maybe this game just isn't for me.    … Expand

    This game is something else, but mostly not in a good way though. The concept is good, but not really that original. It expands on the player character aspects of Mount & Blade, adds an actual story, but also piles an unholy number of infuriating mechanics onto the mix.

    So I will start with the positives, The developers were obviously aiming to create a realistic medieval experience, and they were successful to some extent. The characters are flawed and relatable, the main quest narrative is interesting and along with the world and characters design are well-research from a historical point of view. The game tries to portray a faithful image of the medieval times through several mechanics most of which are just plain ridiculous. But to be fair some are good e.g. *You start as a nobody who can't do anything well and have to learn and improve. *You have to adapt and compromise to survive within the noble circles. *The fact that there are no fantasy elements means you need to really get good.

    But this game is hampered by the fact that developers were over-ambitious and over-reaching resulting in messy systems and mechanics.
    Take for example the combat system, it tries to be realistic and nuanced but it in the end failed in both and turned out clunky and ridiculous. Terrible target locking system, everyone fights you like a pro even goddamn corpse looters, enemies seemingly having near infinite stamina....etc
    The waiting system is perhaps one of the most infuriating, making you wait in real life for in-game waiting to be done slowly is just sadistic. There is also the travel system, which isn't instantaneous and can be done only between cities, which I get it, it tries to be realistic but the end result is just a lot of grinding and waiting, and that is not counting the long loading times as well, all of which makes the whole experience boring.
    Archery is perhaps the biggest insult the developers direct at the player, the reticule in the middle of the screen disappears when you use a bow! And this not realism this is plain stupid.
    I could go on and on. So in the end I say this..
    TL;DR The game "might" have started with good intentions but end product is a punishment for RPG players.    … Expand

    Upon the release the PC version is the only reasonable way to enjoy Kingdom Come. And there’s a lot to enjoy, because historically accurate Middle Ages are an awesome setting. The beginning of the game might not be spectacular, but give Deliverance a chance and it will develop into a unique, deep, gripping experience. [04/2018, p.42]

    Kingdom Come: Deliverance is a different kind. It's incredibly absorbing in its pace, it amazes with a manically detailed medieval era features and a totally true atmosphere, a series of skillfully built quests and, and when you get used to it, a fantastic combat system. There is a one-too-much cliché in the story arc, but the main problem lies in the technical issues. The game is, however, such a remarkable, huge, different and fresh experience that the occasional bug can be simply ignored.
