The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
5 Games Like Kingdom Come Deliverance
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt might feature monsters and magic, but there are plenty of parallels to Kingdom Come Deliverance in this iconic RPG. 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. 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. Many of the city and village locations are wonderfully detailed in an Eastern European architectural design grounded in authenticity. And there’s a beauty to its grass plains, forests, and meandering rivers that echoes the level of topographical detail in Kingdom Come Deliverance.
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. It’s a 1v1 lock-on system, for starters, and there are parry and dodge mechanics as well. That all being said, this is far more traditional arcade hack-and-slash than the measured strategic combat in Warhorse Studios’ medieval epic. But as an immersive RPG with a medieval aesthetic to lose yourself in, you won’t find better than The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.
