If you’ve been contemplating diving into Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, the time may have finally arrived. This captivating medieval RPG is now available at a significantly reduced price on Fanatical, and the offer extends beyond just the base game. The Royal Edition includes a treasure trove of extras, such as the Gallant Huntsman’s Kit and multiple DLCs, ensuring players receive a comprehensive experience right from the start.
Exploring the Depths of 15th-Century Bohemia
Set against the backdrop of a tumultuous civil war in 15th-century Bohemia, players step into the shoes of Henry of Skalitz, a young man driven by the desire to avenge his parents’ murder. While the premise may seem familiar, a well-crafted narrative can embrace even the most classic of storylines.
What truly distinguishes Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is its exceptional writing. The main storyline unfolds smoothly, but it is the side quests that infuse the game with its distinctive charm. These quests range from humorous to downright bizarre, all while remaining grounded in the game’s logic. The characters you encounter add depth to the experience, fostering relationships that bring warmth to an otherwise grim setting. After immersing yourself in this world, relocating to 15th-century Bohemia is likely not on your to-do list.
Though the game is not without its flaws—some players may find the progression uneven—it still garnered a commendable 9/10 in our review. As noted by Lowell, “The nearly 100 hours I spent in the well-traveled boots of Henry of Skalitz were held together by a memorable core cast, humorous and intriguing side quests by the dozens, and a gripping narrative that kept me invested until the satisfying conclusion.”
For those seeking a sprawling RPG that invites hundreds of hours of exploration, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 may be the perfect fit, especially for players looking for a departure from traditional fantasy settings.
Another noteworthy aspect is its compatibility with the Steam Deck. While it may not be the first game that comes to mind for handheld play, the ability to tackle quests from the comfort of your bed or a café adds a delightful layer of convenience.
On the pricing front, this reduction is noteworthy. The Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Royal Edition is currently available for .59 / £31.01, down from £65.99 / .99, representing a substantial 53% discount. This offer is available on Fanatical until Friday, April 17.
If you appreciate RPGs that are immersive, slightly unforgiving, and a touch unpredictable, this is a compelling recommendation at this price point. Just be prepared for a journey that doesn’t hold your hand—embracing the challenge is part of the allure.
