Kingdom Come: Deliverance

Kingdom Come: Deliverance is an RPG game, but not as you know it. Warhorse Studios have based the game on actual historical events and the geography is based on actual places. You start life as the son of a blacksmith and work your way up from there. PC World has been taking a look:

Kingdom Come: Deliverance is essentially an Elder Scrolls-style RPG made “realistic.” Abandoning the fantasy lands of most sword-and-board stories, Kingdom Come instead builds a tale around Bohemia, the region of modern-day Czech Republic and, as of the 1400s, the Kingdom within the Holy Roman Empire.

There’s a succession crisis. After the glorious reign of Charles IV, his son Wenceslaus IV inherited the crown of Bohemia. Being rather more interested in drinking and gambling than ruling, he was considered a poor king, which prompted his brother Sigismund to invade to “restore order.” Sigismund’s motives weren’t quite so pure of course, and his troops cut a swathe through Bohemia, including through the town of Skalitz, a silver mining town and home to our poor protagonist Henry.
