14 DAY TRIAL // Czech studio Warhorse has just started the Kickstarter campaign for Kingdom Come: Deliverance, their previously revealed project aiming to bring a very different role-playing experience.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance will be a realistic single-player first-person role-playing game set in medieval Europe, offering an open-world sandbox experience with period-accurate combat and no fantasy content whatsoever.
The main idea behind the project is to deliver an experience that is strongly rooted in history, offering an alternative to the fantasy-saturated role-playing world, focusing on political intrigue and an authentic medieval universe.
Warhorse's realistic role-playing game will throw players in the role of a lowly blacksmith that loses everything during the war, and is then placed in the middle of a conspiracy involving a kidnapped king and the fate of the realm.
Players will be able to wander the vast world and face its perils as a brave knight, or lurking and hiding in the shadows as a rogue, and even charming people to join your cause as a bard, each play styles offering complete freedom to develop character skills and perks, as well as fine-tune your equipment.
Kingdom Come will offer an epic and non-linear storyline crafted by Daniel Vavra, the award winning designer behind the Mafia series, that will allow players to choose their role as either savior or villain, offering multiple ways to solve every quest.
The game will offer an innovative first-person combat system that will accurately allow players to battle their foes in both one-on-one encounters and large-scale battles such as castle sieges.
The battle system is based on inverse kinematics and features actual 15th century fighting techniques designed with the cooperation of medieval warfare and martial arts experts.
Kingdom Come will feature a dynamic world where every inhabitant plays a role in the community, and they all go about their daily routines while the player explores the sprawling cities and castles and ventures into dark forests and muddy villages either on foot or horseback.
Warhorse Studios have started the Kingdom Come: Deliverance Kickstarter campaign, where interested gamers can help with pledges and feedback.
The game is build using CryEngine 3 and is currently planned for release during Q4 2015, on the PC, Mac, Linux, Xbox One and PlayStation 4 platforms.
