A new gameplay video was released for Kingdom Come: Deliverance during Gamescom

Warhorse Studio has released a video for the new open-world acton-RPG game set in medieval times. They had released it during Gamescom and thanks to IGN, we can check it out. In this video we can take a look at the combat and quest mechanics. Appearently, you will be playing as a commoner who will get in service of a noble. After the tragic death of his parents, you will decide what kind of fate awaits him. Moreover, how we will “forge” our destiny with our sword.

The combat system, which kind of reminded me of Arx Fatalis (anyone? no?) looks pretty promising. In Kingdom Come: Deliverance you will have to be careful about your combat moves. Of course, it will not be as easy as it was in Arx Fatalis or in other games. But you will have to look out for the weak parts of the armor of your enemy.

Another feature is the rock-paper-scissors mechanic. It affects your combat efficiency. You cannot deal high damages on an enemy wearing a full plate armor. You will need a mace for that, for example. Also, it will be possible to destroy armor parts if you can. So the combat looks pretty interactive and realistic if you ask me.

Another feature will effect the quests and the possible solutions you can find during objectives. There will be different ways to finish many quests and you will have the freedom of choice. You can try pure brutality and kill anything on your way. Or, you can use diplomacy or even stealthy methods. However, you should be careful as the choices you make will effect the story.

As the PR Manager, Tobi Stolz-Zwilling said, their main purpose is to make the combat realistic. They want to represent the medieval fight along with the medieval life. This means that the combat will be difficult. And as a commoner who became a servant of a noble, you will have to learn how to fight properly. Not only the combat will effect your destiny, but also the ways you choose will do the same. Go ahead and watch the video and have a better idea about what to expect.

The game will be available on February 13th. And I would love to see what it looks like when I have the chance in the future.

So until that time, enjoy the video and stay tuned for more.
