Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, the upcoming sequel to the acclaimed original, has generated significant excitement, thanks to the original’s devoted following. For fans of realistic medieval RPGs, however, it can be difficult to find another game that fills that void.
Well, we’ve got good news friends, because we’re going to run through five of the best games that will scratch that Kingdom Come Deliverance II itch. It’s a hard gap to fill in your heart, but we reckon these games will be able to do it. All you need to do is read on, and then probably go and play them.
Best Games Like Kingdom Come Deliverance II
We’re taking one easy win with one of the games on the list but the other four games are excellent, each immersive and wonderful in their own way. All of the games below offer the same gripping narrative and moment-to-moment gameplay that Kingdom Come Deliverance II will have to live up to and are available for you to check out right now. So let’s get to it.
Kingdom Come Deliverance
This is sort of cheating, but we’re doing it anyway. The best game to play while you wait for Kingdom Come Deliverance II is undoubtedly the original, Kingdom Come Deliverance. In this immersive RPG experience, you take on the role of Henry, a blacksmith’s son determined to avenge his parents and resist the invading forces threatening his homeland. It’s the blueprint, the original version of what the sequel aims to build upon, and it’s the best game to scratch that specific itch.
Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord
Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord has more of a focus on the bigger picture than Kingdom Come Deliverance, but it’s still a wonderfully immersive and enjoyable medieval game in every other right. You have to rally entire armies to try and overcome the evils that will come at you, and you’ll get to feel like a strategic genius as you do so. It’s an excellent game and one that you should try and find time for.
Medieval Dynasty
If you’re looking for that full survival game feeling, then Medieval Dynasty will be perfect. You get to take on the role of a random person in the olden days who wants to carve out their own piece of ye olde paradise. However, things get a little hectic as your ambitions grow, which means you’ll need to start finding shelter for other people as your hut becomes a village, and even fight for resources against rivals and enemies alike. You can even play this one in co-op, which is a nice change of pace.
Red Dead Redemption 2
Red Dead Redemption 2 is an incredible feat of story-telling that will have its hooks in you from start to finish. You’ll roam around the Wild West trying to find your peace of mind and a new way of life, you’ll rob banks, you’ll stop crimes, and you’ll become a legend. It’s gorgeous to look at, which helps, but it’s also intensely immersive and full to the brim with wonderfully written characters and truly heart-wrenching story beats.
Dragon’s Dogma 2
Our final choice is a little out of left field, but hey, it wouldn’t be a Green Man Gaming list without one. Dragon’s Dogma 2 places you in a medieval world, but one with magic and dragons. You take on the role of the Arisen, someone chosen by fate itself when a dragon plucks out your heart. Your fate is to defeat that very dragon, but along the way, you have to cope with political machinations, lies, corruption, a bunch of big monsters, and even your own friends potentially turning against you. It might be a little bit more fantasy, but it hits very similar Kingdom Come Deliverance beats.
