Sometimes games we thought were finished surprise us by reopening before us, offering a chance to revisit and enhance our experience. Kingdom Come Deliverance is one such game that I had the pleasure of playing back in early 2018. Now, with the Switch version’s Royal Edition, which includes all the content and expansions released since then, I find myself reflecting on the scope of this medieval adventure.
In a Rich World Filled with Conflict
Immersed in a rich world teeming with conflicts, Henry’s options are numerous. From exploring a vast territory to dealing with constant demands and engaging in all sorts of habits practiced by the inhabitants, there is never a dull moment. While the initial challenges may seem moderate, only experience allows one to truly delve into the vibrant world of Kingdom Come Deliverance and discover alternative solutions to the presented challenges.
Production and Limitations
The production by Warhorse Studios is truly impressive, with numerous cinematic sequences and a wealth of data that can lead to slow loading times, especially during the opening sequences. Some issues from the original version persist, particularly in the battle system, character expressions, and frame rate drops during intense confrontations. While there is room for improvement in the Switch version, considering the game’s late arrival on the Nintendo hybrid console, some of these flaws could have been addressed.
Positive Aspects
– Historically accurate setting
– Large open world map
– Combination of various gameplay systems
– Variety of situations
– Missions with multiple solutions
– Realistic environment
Negative Aspects
– Combat system irregularities
– Visual errors
– Slow loading times
In conclusion, Kingdom Come Deliverance for the Switch offers a deep and detailed portrayal of a medieval era in Central Europe, despite its imperfections. It is a game worth exploring for those seeking unique medieval narratives filled with bizarre events that shape everyday life.
