Swording people out by smacking them with sharp bits of metal never gets old in video games. That being said, 2018’s Kingdom Come: Deliverance taught me there’s an extra layer of satisfaction to be had if you’ve also spent ten minutes hammering your NPC-sticker into life via an anvil minigame.
Armed with that blacksmith know-how and after many an hour of play, I feel qualified to say that today’s subject has been vigorously worked from rough and raw materials into finer craftsmanship and polish.From what I now know of “Kingdom Come Deliverance II: Deliver Harder,” it falls into the category of More of the Same, Only Better.
If you somehow missed the original, I guess the very rough analog would be: a modestly-sized Skyrim with all fantasy elements replaced with the often deliberately mundane trappings of late medieval times plus a “by the angles” approach to fisticuffs.
Oh, and a rich, multi-path tapestry revenge tale threaded with (literal) rags-to-riches elements, too.I’m going to dive into the whys and wherefores of this sequel’s worthiness, but for now I should supply some bargains to the impulse buyers among you.
Personally, I’d rather get more intel about my games before I reach for the coin purse and cough up some Groschen.
