Modern life is full of conveniences: smartphones, the internet, food delivery services. Sometimes, we daydream of a simpler time – a time when you could stop and smell the flowers on your way to the bakery, learn archery in your backyard, or, oh, I don't know, participate in a medieval civil war while on a quest to avenge your murdered parents. If you want to escape the hustle and bustle of today and relive medieval Europe in a thrilling tale where your choices truly matter, Kingdom Come: Deliverance II just might be the game for you.
Meet Henry of Skalitz
Young Henry of Skalitz is introduced in Kingdom Come: Deliverance, a young peasant thrust into the world following the untimely murder of his parents. This vile act pushed him to pursue a personal vendetta and a journey of growth, that led him on the ultimate quest for revenge while forging meaningful relationships with the people he encounters in the 15th-century Kingdom of Bohemia.
The events of Kingdom Come: Deliverance were just the beginning of Henry's adventure. No longer just an aspiring warrior, Henry's tale sets him on the path to becoming a fierce and capable rebel. The decisions you make as Henry shape who he becomes in the game: from practical skills (such as weapon mastery and alchemy) to his morality path, everything will impact your playthrough in this deep and immersive RPG.
Surviving in this medieval world means learning how to fight. Want to take a less combative approach? Then stealth mastery is your path. Learning how to lockpick, moving fast, and mastering archery can further expand Henry’s abilities and deepen gameplay by making it easier to distract guards or become more effective with disguises. Or, embrace Henry's lineage and become a better blacksmith to improve the usefulness of the items you craft. Henry is capable of learning from the various teachers and skilled tradesmen of Bohemia, picking up useful skills that further bolster the play styles that you choose for your time in the Kingdom.
Welcome to the Kingdom of Bohemia
Developing Henry's skills wouldn't be useful if he sat at home and waited for his adversaries to come to him. There's an incredibly immersive and delightfully vast world for players to explore with Henry at their leisure. Warhorse Studios, the team behind Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, has put in the legwork to create a world in the Kingdom of Bohemia that is authentic to the time and setting.
Warhorse considered every aspect of Bohemian life – from exploring the social lives of the people from the medieval Czech Republic to researching historically accurate villages and cities. This helped build a kingdom that truly looks, feels, and plays like the past has come alive. With hours of carefully crafted cinematic scenes that add depth and meaning to Henry's story, the sprawling Kingdom of Bohemia, and the people who inhabit it, Kingdom Come: Deliverance II stands out in a sea of RPGs as an unmatched immersive experience.
