Kingdom Come: Deliverance

Young knight lights up the dark ages

- Ian Evenden

Medieval europe was a dangerous place, we’re told. Death could arrive at the point of a sword from any direction, and squabbles between rulers could have devastating consequences for the poor as their effects trickled down the social pyramid.

Into this world is flung Henry, the son of a blacksmith, who spends his days brawling with pals, and delivering nails for his father, a man who knows more about warfare than he lets on. An invading army crashes the party, destroying his village, killing Henry’s parents, and forcing him to flee to the next town. From here, he finds himself the plaything of the local lords and of fate, as he tries to recover a valuable sword, and gain revenge on the man who killed his family.
