That all being said, this is far more traditional arcade hack-and-slash than the measured strategic combat in Warhorse Studios’ medieval epic. It’s a 1v1 lock-on system, for starters, and there are parry and dodge mechanics as well. In terms of combat, while there’s the option to shoot flames from your fingertips or manipulate the minds of enemy combatants, the actual swordplay shares some minor similarities, too. And there’s a beauty to its grass plains, forests, and meandering rivers that echoes the level of topographical detail in Kingdom Come Deliverance. Many of the city and village locations are wonderfully detailed in an Eastern European architectural design grounded in authenticity. It’s more along the lines of Game of Thrones, with many of the NPCs living in grim poverty and an attitude that shuns magic rather than glorify it. For starters, Wild Hunt’s low-fantasy feels much closer to a war-torn medieval dystopia than the triumphant glistening fantasy of franchises like Skyrim and Lord of the Rings. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt might feature monsters and magic, but there are plenty of parallels to Kingdom Come Deliverance in this iconic RPG. Not to mention, the game’s full sequel title, Mount and Blade 2: Bannerlord, is expected to release this year. There are also other Mount and Blade spin-offs such as the Napoleonic Wars if you’re interested in exploring other historical settings.
Despite its age, there’s still a passionate community of players duking it out in PvP and you’ll find servers still well-populated.
Notably, with the addition of multiplayer to the experience in Warband, there’s even more purpose to mastering this skill-based RPG.
There isn’t quite the same level of nuance here, but it’s similarly tactical and requires players to balance defense and attack with different blocks and striking techniques – importantly, it’s hugely fun to play.Ĭoming straight from Kingdom Come Deliverance, you might find the graphics a little jarring, but there’s still a great attention to detail, and with arguably one the best melee combat systems ever realized, you’ll soon forget about its dated aesthetic. Just like Kingdom Come Deliverance, Mount and Blade is based in medieval Europe and makes use of a combat system grounded in realism, though from a third-person perspective. Mount and Blade is the expansion of developer Tale World’s popular RPG, available on consoles as a definitive edition since 2016.
