Every now and then, don’t you just feel the urge to don some heavy armor and wield an enormous sword? It’s what makes LARPing so enticing! Of course, getting your hands on real armor and swords can be quite the challenge, not to mention figuring out how to use them properly. That’s where Kingdom Come: Deliverance swoops in—a standout historical action RPG that’s currently free to grab, so don’t miss out!
Instead of fantastical beasts and magic spells, Kingdom Come: Deliverance drops you right in the throes of the Roman Empire during the early 1400s. As Hungary invades Bohemia, you assume the role of Henry, a young man from a village ravaged under King Sigismund’s orders. He rises through adversity to become a key figure in the resistance.
Your journey with Henry involves getting up close and personal with Sigismund, maneuvering through a landscape rife with political tension, diving into intriguing quests, and venturing across the Kingdom of Bohemia—long before it became the Czech Republic. The game unfolds in a manner reminiscent of The Witcher, yet it’s deeply rooted in historical authenticity rather than fantasy lore.
Though released back in 2018, this title has set a benchmark for role-playing games thanks to its simulation-like depth. You can master a range of weapons, whether for close combat or long-range attacks, and choose to resolve situations through diplomacy, cunning, or brute force. It’s akin to an intricate LARP, complete with specific geography and political intricacies.
The game’s success means that Warhorse Studios is already crafting a sequel. Unfortunately, the wait for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 has been pushed to February 2025. Meanwhile, you can enjoy the original game without spending a dime.
Right now, Kingdom Come: Deliverance is available for free on the Epic Games Store. If you’re craving something with more magical flair, check out our recommendations for games similar to Skyrim or the best dragon-themed adventures.
