Away from the dragons and wizards, our own history provides enough intrigue, as many betrayals, and enough conflict for a good story to be told through it. That is why Warhorse Studios has created Kingdom Come: Deliverance, a first-person RPG set in the Kingdom of Bohemia in 1403.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance PC allows you to embody the life of a peasant during this turbulent historical time period, as you slowly rise through the classes. A blacksmith’s son, your family are killed in the opening moments, so you head out into the world on a quest for revenge. Being an RPG, expect to get sidetracked plenty along the way.

Pull up your fists and brawl with other commoners in the dirt, take up arms in epic, historically accurate battles, and don the shining armour of a knight before heading out to put an end to groups of bandits.

Not only will your choices affect the story here, but every single decision you make will impact your abilities. Don heavy armour and sword swings will glance off, but your vision will be heavily impaired, your field of view limited to the slot in your helmet. If your enemy is wearing heavy armour, take up a blunt weapon and pummel them into submission.

Working with medieval combat experts, Warhorse has developed an intricate melee-based combat system that looks like it could be the most realistic depiction of swordplay ever committed to PC.

Work your way through quests in Kingdom Come: Deliverance, buy yourself gear to suit your playstyle with the gold you earn, then head out into the world to seek fame and fortune. Pre-order on Green Man Gaming now and get your Kingdom Come key for launch.
