Deal | Latest Steam sale: One of best open-world medieval RPGs is now less than $10 after 80% discount

If you’ve ever wanted to a live a medieval fantasy sans magic, dragons, and elves, Kingdom Come: Deliverance is one of the best video games to have done it. Set in 15th-century Bohemia, Kingdom Come: Deliverance tries to be an authentic medieval experience on the backs of rich storytelling, a clunky-yet-satisfying melee combat system, deep NPC encounters, and a detailed open world.

As such, despite being Warhorse Studios’ first game, Kingdom Come: Deliverance is an utterly unique experience that merits a playthrough for fans of RPGs. Steam has now made playing KCD super easy, thanks to a massive 80% discount. The game is now retailing for just $5.99.

The key quality that make Kingdom Come: Deliverance stand out from other RPGs set in or inspired by medieval Europe is the approach Warhorse took for the open world setting and the overall gameplay design. KCD feels mechanical and grounded, where you have to keep track of even mundane things like eating, the clothes you wear, the wear and tear on your items, etc.

Adding to the immersion, the NPCs in Kingdom Come: Deliverance are also reactive to how you act. For instance, IGN notes in their review that, if your clothes are in a rough shape, the nobles will be “less than impressed with your scruffiness”. This could lead to difficulty in completing quests that require interactions with nobles, limited dialogues, and so on.

Similarly, melee combat in KCD is also intricate. While it might come across as janky, boring, and unnecessarily difficult, it is quite rewarding once you get the hang of it. IGN describes it as “kinetic, precise, and polished”.

Typing it all together is good storytelling and a beautifully realized open world full of lush forests, lived-in towns, and bustling ins.

Back when it launched in 2018, Kingdom Come: Deliverance required some decent hardware to run smoothly. However, as PC hardware has progressed, the Kingdom Come: Deliverance now seem much more forgiving.

The “Recommended” Kingdom Come: Deliverance system requirements listed on steam include:

• An Intel Core i7-3770 or AMD FX-8350 CPU or newer
• An Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 or an AMD Radeon RX 580 GPU or better
• 16 GB of RAM and 96 GB of SSD storage

So, armed with a modern gaming PC, even a budget one, you can play Kingdom Come: Deliverance at 60 FPS+ with the highest graphical settings.
