Kingdom Come: Deliverance can sometimes be a brutal, unforgiving game, especially near the story's beginning.

The challenge of both Kingdom Come and Elden Ring makes it so satisfying when you finally succeed.

15 Octopath Traveler

Eight Characters, Eight Stories

Octopath Traveler

Platform(s)
Xbox One , Switch , PC , Stadia
Released
July 13, 2018
Genre(s)
JRPG

It may look about as far from Kingdom Come as can be stylistically. But at least on some level, this retro-style romp draws from that same old-school WRPG essence despite its Japanese roots. Octopath Traveler features the intertwined tales of eight distinct protagonists answering the call to adventure.

This robust narrative is dressed up with a charming HD-2D art style that blends retro pixel art with modern flashiness. But the real strength of this gem lies in its solid battle system. The combat innovates with some appealing twists on the standard turn-based formula. Between its grand scale and gritty, Medieval style, this is a great choice if you have a soft spot for the 16-bit era.

May 19, 2015
Genre(s)
RPG , Action , Adventure

The Witcher series does feature fantasy elements and wild monsters, which may deter you if you prefer the more grounded experience from that game.

However, you have the ability to steer away from the more fantastical elements of The Witcher 3 and instead focus on the more realistic problems that plague the community. There’s such attention to detail in the game’s vast environments and characters that you can really immerse yourself in a rundown medieval experience that few other titles offer to this extent.

June 8, 2021
Genre(s)
Hack and Slash , Action

Chivalry 2 is a game that takes the same major time period and first-person melee combat system of Kingdom Come: Deliverance but then turns it into a very different kind of multiplayer experience.

There's a cruder and less deep combat system in Chivalry, and it pushes more of a hack-and-slash style with plenty of different multiplayer modes, from Last Man Standing to Capture the Flag. Chivalry 2 can create entertainment similar to Kingdom Come: Deliverance, but can also do its own thing with the same ideas.

Ryse has more of a hack-and-slash style to its melee combat, but it still features tons of sword fights and even graphic executions that can be performed. Ryse: Son of Rome is the much more violent and action-heavy alternative to Kingdom Come: Deliverance, and they both reflect different sides of this time period.

11 Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord

Mount and Blade 2: Bannerlord

Platform(s)

Released
October 25, 2022
Genre(s)
Action RPG , Strategy

The Mount & Blade series should feel familiar to you as a Kingdom Come: Deliverance fan because they’re both games set in medieval Europe and skew more towards realism.

Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord improves upon everything in the original Mount & Blade. It offers up one of the better melee combat systems that reward you if you work to master the way battles work in this action-RPG title. Bannerlord shares enough in common with Deliverance that shifting from one game to the other will feel very natural.

10 Battle Brothers

Fight Together

Battle Brothers is a fun title that takes medieval combat from Kingdom Come: Deliverance but explores it through a different genre. Battle Brothers is a turn-based strategy RPG where you build and train an army that goes out into combat.

Battle Brothers figures out how to make those grueling battles just as suspenseful through turn-based combat. It removes the more personal aspect of Kingdom Come: Deliverance, but it finds new ways to appeal to you, and it’s a great rush to control entire armies of warriors.

9 Life Is Feudal: Your Own

A Medieval MMO Unlike Any Other

Life is Feudal: Your Own is a detailed MMO title that really allows you to get a taste of the struggles of life in medieval Europe. Life is Feudal excels with how it crams thousands of people together in a tight and transformable society.

The title depicts the cause-and-effect mentality as everyone just tries to make their way during this archaic time. Life is Feudal is a game focused on survival, whereas Kingdom Come: Deliverance focuses on combat, but they both scratch very similar itches.

7 For Honor

Tactics Meets Dueling Combat

For Honor

Platform(s)
PS4 , Xbox One , PC
Released
February 14, 2017
Genre(s)
Action

Ubisoft's For Honor is a double-edged sword in the sense that it's a game that looks great and is satisfying to cause mayhem within, but the gameplay behind it can be a little simplistic at times.

This doesn't mean that For Honor isn't still entertaining. Even though it can sometimes veer away from historical accuracy with certain elements and classes, it nails the swordplay melee combat aspect of Kingdom Come: Deliverance. For Honor even feels like the kind of game that would be good for beginners before jumping into the more complex mechanics of Deliverance.

6 Cyberpunk 2077

Swords... In The Future

Cyberpunk 2077

Platform(s)
PC , Xbox One , Xbox One X , Xbox One S , Stadia , PS4 , PS5
Released
December 10, 2020
Genre(s)
RPG , Action

Cyberpunk 2077 couldn't be more different than Kingdom Come: Deliverance when it comes to time periods and realism, but CD Projekt's open-world RPG looks will still satisfy you if you're a Kingdom Come: Deliverance fan. Cyberpunk 2077 offers first-person combat, and while it prioritizes guns, you can focus on a melee build if preferred.

Like Kingdom Come Deliverance, Cyberpunk 2077 has a fantastic story that will have you hooked from start to finish. So, if you want an open-world, immersive experience and are willing to part from the medieval setting, then Cyberpunk 2077 is a great choice to play next.

5 Assassin's Creed: Valhalla

A Viking Epic

Assassin's Creed Valhalla

November 10, 2020
Genre(s)
RPG , Action

Continuing its successful formula from Odyssey, Assassin's Creed: Valhalla ventures into the action-adventure and RPG realms, resulting in a truly epic experience. The game still stresses arcade-style action with bouts of stealth while injecting depth with its dynamic environments and progression.

Though Valhalla features the Viking Eivor and his ilk, the game similarly revolves around a tale of vengeance dressed in a Medieval setting like Kingdom Come. The grueling swordplay, grand scale, and diversity of in-game tasks should also draw you in.

Dragon Age: Inquisition’s socio-political narrative shares at least some overlap with Warhorse's game, as does the nuanced system of progression and diverse gameplay.

3 The Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind

Explore Scenic Tamriel

The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind

Platform(s)
PC , Xbox (Original)
Released
May 1, 2002
Genre(s)
RPG

When it comes to the grandiose Elder Scrolls series, this RPG from 2002 tends to get overshadowed by its more massive siblings, despite being quite ahead of its time. Still, Morrowind remains a fan favorite for its more nuanced storytelling and slightly more grounded, gritty atmosphere.

Like Kingdom Come, Morrowind lets you explore to your heart's content and carve out your own path. You may choose to follow the deep continental narrative or spend more time dungeon-crawling or venturing through Tamriel's diverse locales. Though it has aged graphically, Morrowind still holds up with its free-roaming gameplay and lush atmosphere. This is partly thanks to its rich orchestral soundtrack.

2 Dark Souls 3

Genre(s)
Action RPG

This APRG certainly covers many bases when it comes to Kingdom Come parallels. Minimal fantasy elements? Check. Tactile, realistic-feeling combat? Check. Gritty-yet-captivating medieval set decoration? Check that one too. Dark Souls 3, and many Soulslikes of its ilk, remain some of the most punishing RPGs in history.

Often viewed as the peak of this game-changing series, Dark Souls 3 certainly answers the call when it comes to great gaming epics.

1 Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood

Ezio Brought Friends

Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed series has been milked dry in many people's opinions, but Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood is still from a time before the games were overexposed. The game allows you to explore 16th-century Rome, which is the closest that Assassin’s Creed may overlap with Kingdom Come.

Brotherhood is the third title in the Assassin's Creed series and continues to follow Ezio's exploits. Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood is a lot bigger than Kingdom Come: Deliverance, but it still offers one-on-one duels and personal executions that can take place in Ancient Rome.
