Rarely can a game truly stand out in an age where most ideas have been interpreted virtually, and where even the most outlandish worlds have been created, but that's exactly what makes the seemingly all-too-real world of Kingdom Come: Deliverance.
The game from Warhorse Studios is set in 15th century Bohemia, or what's now known as the Czech Republic, and features a world completely devoid of any fantastical elements, according to Polygon. The world of Kingdom Come: Deliverance has nothing in the way of magic, monsters, or any men with mythcial origins. It instead simply follows the life of a simple blacksmith who lived in that time.
For those who may be thinking that the game would be boring given its lack of magical elements, it is set during the period of the Hussite Wars, a famously violent stretch in human history. It's almost as if the game does not need to employ dragons or ogres to have players at the edges of their respective seats. Kingdom Come: Deliverance still does follow some of the conventional RPG tropes with players able to level up, complete quests, and most of the other expected RPG elements sans the magic.
For those still unconvinced that they would actually a game like this, they can take a sneak peek at how the game will look like once it is finished. The game is being made using the CryEngine, and the results truly do speak for themselves as the screenshots reveal, according to Gamespot.
Given the unique premise of the game, it's not entirely surprising to learn that it is also taking an unconventional path to completion with most of its development fund coming via Kickstarter. Kingdom Come: Deliverance was originally slated for a 2015 release but it has since been delayed, according to PC Gamer.
The game is now expected to be released around the middle of 2016.
