Kingdom Come is truly one of the most detailed, realistic, historically accurate and immersive games there is. You can get lost in it for hundreds of hours
the game is fantastic, the realism's next lvl (especially for a last gen game), and even without its extensive library of mods its replayability is off the charts
It’s such an amazing game. It really sells how Henry learns to do things, as the more you play everything starts clicking and you feel like you’ve actually mastered the skills like Henry is doing.
Am I the only one who thinks the exact opposite of that? All that matters is your level of perks. The individual persons skill has absolutely no effect in the game
@@vladorkiba1718 dunno maybe you're a very quick learner but I struggle with stuff like blocking so much that the amount of practice I got during the leveling up actually helped me out a lot
One of my favorite parts about Henry is how much of a guy he looks, he has the most guy face ever. If i were to see Henry's face anywhere i'd say "yep, he sure looks like a guy" put him in any clothing and he'd fit them all because he looks like some guy.
well yeah that's the point. he wasn't born a hero. He's a "blacksmith's son" who was born in the shadow of unfortunate events. He's a nobody. But he earns everything through mettle alone.
there are a lot of games like crusader kings where you start as royalty, but generally in games you’re a superhuman like master chief or link or some big hero whereas in KCD you’re truly a nobody, and not just by name, the game really makes you feel like a nobody getting better at skills you’ve never done before
I think you’re not really supposed to get caught because Henry goes “surely you can let one of Sir Radzig’s men off the hook” Henry having neither met Sir Radzig (his real dad) let alone become his retainer but you do die in that jail so maybe they cut out an alternate criminal path where you escape that jail because of the mercenary invasion and you have no loved ones you’re forced to care about you just go straight to your lord but the whole game is very much centered around Henry’s dedication his neighbors and this is compounded by the very existence of his character arc he’s not a blank slate
Based on Steam achievement stats, about 1 in 5 players end up in prison during that intro sequence. ...I was one of them. Trying to steal my father's axe back from that bastard debtor who won't pay up.
Funny thing, the life expectancy is drag down by the high rate of infant mortality. If you manage to survive being born you would live to about the same ages oddly enough. And you would probably be healthier as well. They've studied Bones from the medieval times and found that they had very few modern diseases, like heart disease, diabetes etc. Basically all of the modern killers didn't seem to affect medieval people.
Kingdom Come is my absolute favourite game. I've finished it 4 times and platinumed it. By the way. The executioner is a super nice guy and gives you some of the best quests in the game. Sadly you will never experience them :D (yes you can kill quest givers).

One thing I liked about the UI in this game is that, in lower difficulties, they stick the radar to the top of the screen. That way, even if you do end up relying on it to find your way, you still have a bit of peripheral vision to see around you and where you are going and what you are passing. Even better if you play on the hardcore difficult where the radar is just gone and you have to navigate the world with your wits.
I find this run hilarious because, you played the ring quest like skyrim and didn't even try to like talk to the executioner to distract him just lickpicked the door while he's right there.

@@tekken.universal2343You have to avoid combat until you're a trained swordsman via training with captain Bernard mostly, but also defeating enemies. The game is a series of Stat checks and that's what determines successful or unsuccessful strikes in combat

@@JayceeGenocide some guards have bows. Get strength up from picking plants and knock one out and take it. The guard by kunesh standing by wall has one. Walk past him to the guy farming then turn around and sneak up behind him. Save fist guards break free a lot.
Somehow it is kinda refreshing to had a Medieval game without DnD or Magic system. Which is why this is one of my favourite game even though it was negatively criticized. I love Exanima physics-based battle system so I found this game fun as well.
@@SpeaksYourWord Medieval is a time period settings a.k.a. Middle Ages (a civilization technological era) and not just a game genre Isn't? Right?

18:00 Your horse is still at the stable inside the walls. You CAN leave WITH the horse so long as you're riding it while in disguise as a castle guard. You can just ride out the front gate.
Playing it with a friend that loves medieval history, especially east european, we're having a blast! The game with original dubbing in Czech is so immersive, and even accounting bugs and shortcomings, this is the most effort and result i ever saw a game achieve while being financed by their government. I'm so stoked for the second chapter, i want to let Henry have it's revenge!
You can use your 3 speech, which you probably don't have, to lure the executioner out of his house. You can still get the speech by talking to people, by learning to read and level up through reading a book on speech, and doing other quests. And by getting caught and fighting with the executioner, you won't be able to do quests for him.
Anyone thinking of playing this game after watching Kev here are some spoiler free hints. ‘Luck of the drunk’ is a perk that makes lockpicking easy, which is quite a feat because it’s unwieldy otherwise. Plate armour is a game changer because you basically don’t take damage as long as you have stamina left, armour and clothing contributes to a noise statistic which will ruin stealth. Train with Bernard AS SOON as it’s available. During speech checks you’ll see an option with a heart in a crown symbol, this is social status and is easily manipulated with charisma gained from clean, nice clothing and a well washed Henry. Most importantly master strike your way to victory, peasant.
Ah, Kingdom of Cum, the game where I spent hours --killing and stealing-- grinding to get amazing gear just to then get bent over a barrel by the first knight I autistically ran at because I forgot to actually train with my gear. Fun times.
This game wasn't at all what I expected and I love it. It's harder to get into than skyrim but well worth it. The combat and skill system is especially good, you can really feel Henry getting better at whatever he does. A good example is that Henry can't read at the beginning, so any text you read is going to be jumbled up but once Henry starts learning how to read from a scribe, texts become less jumbled. Combat too; the weekly tournament is impossible to win at the beginning but as you raise your skills, it gets a lot easier.
Man the executioner had a really cool quest that you could do later in the game but will never experience because you decided to crush his skull while breaking into his house lol
I played over 100 hours of this game back in 2018. Recently picked it up again but got the royal edition and played another 120 hours. It’s a great game and it’s insanely immersive. I was pretty much addicted to a game for the first time In years. Really hope a sequel is announced
still remember playing with you sometimes in eso kev, nice to see you at almost 1.2 million subs wow wow wow, great content and a nice guy love to see it.
I'll never forget my one attempted playthrough. A cowardly knight wanted to fight me so I choked him out then took his armour. Three hours later I was in a town looking for the food merchant and a guard stops me for no reason, accuses me of theft then takes away the armour and everything I bought since then.
The thing about low life expectancy at the beginning was likely just a joke, but I'd like to say this for those who don't think it's a joke (I've known many people who thought it to be true, so I don't assume people knowing anymore). In medieval times, it is only the "average" lifespan that was low, and it was low because of the high count of babies and young children dying. However, once someone lived past those more dangerous years, they were good to go and usually lived to actual old age (unless they were killed or a plague happened). So the high infantile mortality is what brought down the Average lifespan to be seem like it is so low. However, it wasn't that uncommon for people to die of old age in their 60s-70s. It's still lower than now, but it is not as low as to die of old age in your 30s-40s. That is just nonsensical.
Please play more of this game, I actually love to watch you play it, I may not comment much but I’ll tell you know this one of my favorite games, and youre on a list for one of my favorite UA-camrs.
This game is severely underrated. Most players gave up too early and easily because they weren't super over powered by the first 10 minutes of the game. This game is realistic in the combat difficulty, you are a peasant with no formal combat training. Of course you are gonna get fucked up by bandits and trained soldiers. But over time, with training and practice, you can really notice the difference when you go from having to run away from a single bandit, to being able to clear out a camp of 5 - 6 bandits or Cuman soldiers by yourself.
*First 10 minutes? You're not even surviving basic combat encounters **_10 hours in._* Except for the bandits loitering around Skalitz, lmao. I appreciate the realism and the dedication to the grind, tho. So I'm tryna stick with it, but I honestly can't blame anyone who couldn't handle the whiplash. *It took me **_FIVE tries_** just to beat Kunesh on Hard.* That realization of *_"Oh shit. I'm not "The Chosen One"._* *_I'M JUST SOME SCRUB!"_* can be quite the kick in the nads for folk.
Making you work for it was a major strength of the game. And even when you get good at the combat, there still remains risk. Even when I could take out whole Cuman camps with ease, I still had to flee certain fights due to overconfidence/ carelessness or just getting surrounded. While I could still dominate most encounters, it felt earned.
@@Jamushu A huge tip for this is just like a real soldier, train. Once Captain Bernard gives you your initial training to work with the Bailiff, you get the option to go train with him any time during the day you want. You can pay him to just immediately increase your skills, or you can spar with him to level your skills naturally. If you spend even just a day or two (in-game) sparing with him, he'll quickly get you up to snuff with the basics of what you need to survive in actual combat with low skilled opponents. Then you can do bandit hunting missions for him to get even more experience, as well as money to buy gear with and train even more. I believe this was the intended way the developers wanted you to do it, but left you to discover for yourself that maybe you should spend some time practicing before trying it for real.
@@austinseven4720 The game definitely never loses that necessity for strategy with each encounter. Even late game when you're really powerful, some camps are still really difficult to clear without employing a dagger, poison, a bow, or even all three.
Later in the game, a complex and multi-task quest, upon which the successful resolution of another complex multi-task quest depends on a swift completion of, all hinged on me needing the help of the executioner. I was like, fuck. 🤣
@@AlphaQHard Bro doesnt know a single thing about this game. Plus that's gotta be the hardest bait comment I have ever read in my life. The story is nice, the gameplay is 10/10 and the loading time is perfect (I got a PC that's like 8 years old and it runs perfectly even with mods). Edit: The world building and the combat is 11/10 realism and the level up mechanic is peak.
@@derlitter The janky target tracking is definitely super realistic. I often lose track of my opponent when Im fighting someone in real life. Im serious about this game being bad, but considering its done by a small newbie team then I guess its pretty good. I just don’t understand people who glaze this game like its the best thing since sliced bread when it has a ton of issues and is mediocre at best.
This game is so freaking good. Once you get the combat down it’s actually very rewarding and feels great to take down a fully armored knight to take his gear.
The combat is the one thing I don't like as much as other things I still like it because if you don't have Master striking your combos gets parried by anybody
I wish i could just deleted all my KCD knowledge and play it again for the first time.. after like 10 playthroughs and completing achievements like "Tis but a scratch" the game just isnt the same anymore.

I've actually played Kingdom Come more hours than I've played Skyrim now. It's a true gem.
Skyrim blows that's why
And I've put 100s of hours into Oblivion and half as much into Morrowind
I actually said the same thing as the video maker, that KCD reminds me of Oblivion
Tip: Pick flowers to gain enough strength to defeat Kunesh.
I used to steal a bow and murderize the sheep by the training ground so I could acually hit things while hunting right out of the tutorial lol.
While that is perfectly true, it's also one of the few things that are completely crazy about this game.
@@cartercustoms4600 Where is the Bow?
@@JayceeGenocide some guards have bows. Get strength up from picking plants and knock one out and take it. The guard by kunesh standing by wall has one. Walk past him to the guy farming then turn around and sneak up behind him. Save fist guards break free a lot.
@@cartercustoms4600you can get a bow from a quest for Bianca
i still come back and play this every few weeks simply because the combat felt amazing, perfect blend of realism and gameplay fun, solid 10/10 for me
This game is the definition of a "gem" i wish it got as much recognition as stuff like the Witcher
Kev by the end of the game: "I've become a Holy Roman emperor just so I can steal from the Imperial Treasury!"
You are seriously not seriously my favorite gamer channel, so lovely and exciting to see a new vid for you always!
Somehow it is kinda refreshing to had a Medieval game without DnD or Magic system. Which is why this is one of my favourite game even though it was negatively criticized. I love Exanima physics-based battle system so I found this game fun as well.
I’m biased to GURPS and I hate magic in games unless it’s an established IP
@@Otterdisappointment what a strange take on magic
It's not medieval if there's magic in it tho is it. Swords is not only requirement for medieval.
@@SpeaksYourWord Medieval is a time period settings a.k.a. Middle Ages (a civilization technological era) and not just a game genre Isn't? Right?
And here from Google:
*Medieval Fantasy* _encompasses works where aspects of medieval history such as legends from the Middle Ages, and aesthetics such as medievalisms, overlap with fantasy._
Right?
@@SpeaksYourWord it can be medieval and magic, medieval is just a time period
39:26 Radzig gives away the huge plot twist right here and it's hilarious how so many people don't catch it.
Makes you wonder, though, if his mother is actually the one who died in the skalitz raid. It's still funny that Martin may have raised him, thinking he was his.
@@LectricLetus Yes, Henry's mom was his real mom. As for Martin knowing Henry is Radzig's son or not, that's unclear.
23:39 the timing of that line “i feel hungry” LOL
18:00 Your horse is still at the stable inside the walls. You CAN leave WITH the horse so long as you're riding it while in disguise as a castle guard. You can just ride out the front gate.
-How many times can you die in the tutorial?
-IS THIS A CHALLENGE?!
More of this game buddy? This was a ton of fun.
Playing it with a friend that loves medieval history, especially east european, we're having a blast!
The game with original dubbing in Czech is so immersive, and even accounting bugs and shortcomings, this is the most effort and result i ever saw a game achieve while being financed by their government.
I'm so stoked for the second chapter, i want to let Henry have it's revenge!
You can use your 3 speech, which you probably don't have, to lure the executioner out of his house. You can still get the speech by talking to people, by learning to read and level up through reading a book on speech, and doing other quests. And by getting caught and fighting with the executioner, you won't be able to do quests for him.
Anyone thinking of playing this game after watching Kev here are some spoiler free hints. ‘Luck of the drunk’ is a perk that makes lockpicking easy, which is quite a feat because it’s unwieldy otherwise. Plate armour is a game changer because you basically don’t take damage as long as you have stamina left, armour and clothing contributes to a noise statistic which will ruin stealth. Train with Bernard AS SOON as it’s available. During speech checks you’ll see an option with a heart in a crown symbol, this is social status and is easily manipulated with charisma gained from clean, nice clothing and a well washed Henry. Most importantly master strike your way to victory, peasant.
Also safe passage allows you to teleport home with all your loot. And final offer allows you to always get the best price on your transactions.
@@LectricLetus Shoutout to Troubadour which will allow you full access to the bath house service free of charge!
Yikes, that Payday 3 sponsor did not age well
It really didn't
Ah, Kingdom of Cum, the game where I spent hours --killing and stealing-- grinding to get amazing gear just to then get bent over a barrel by the first knight I autistically ran at because I forgot to actually train with my gear. Fun times.
Edgy 2008 over here huh!!😂
Really hope they make a sequel this game is phenomninal
The sequel was just announced. Should be out by the end of the year.
February 2025 your wish will come true.
@garudanathanael5257 i know can't wait to hop into it. 👍
This game wasn't at all what I expected and I love it.
It's harder to get into than skyrim but well worth it. The combat and skill system is especially good, you can really feel Henry getting better at whatever he does. A good example is that Henry can't read at the beginning, so any text you read is going to be jumbled up but once Henry starts learning how to read from a scribe, texts become less jumbled. Combat too; the weekly tournament is impossible to win at the beginning but as you raise your skills, it gets a lot easier.
How dare you kill the executioner, he's had a great series of quests tied to him. You're an animal!
Henry has come to see us again! God be praised!
Man the executioner had a really cool quest that you could do later in the game but will never experience because you decided to crush his skull while breaking into his house lol
I played over 100 hours of this game back in 2018.
Recently picked it up again but got the royal edition and played another 120 hours. It’s a great game and it’s insanely immersive. I was pretty much addicted to a game for the first time In years.
Really hope a sequel is announced
Your wishes got granted
You beat a 4 men cuman party this early in your first play through? respect
they were all unarmored archers, quite possibly easier than fighting 1 armored cuman
One of my favorite games of all time! Super dope to see you playing it!
I had no idea you could just *Jump In The Moat*. That’s genius.
Currently playing through the game for the first time. Having a blast. No wokeness, no politics, just "Jesus Christ be praised"
still remember playing with you sometimes in eso kev, nice to see you at almost 1.2 million subs wow wow wow, great content and a nice guy love to see it.
You have to do the Sir Hans questline. It has some funny moments
The “I feel quite hungry” is the perfect timing
I'll never forget my one attempted playthrough. A cowardly knight wanted to fight me so I choked him out then took his armour. Three hours later I was in a town looking for the food merchant and a guard stops me for no reason, accuses me of theft then takes away the armour and everything I bought since then.
That sucks!
Wow, super realistic! 😏
You didn't have enough charisma/speech/intimidation. Multiple ways to avoid that including paying the bribe.
The thing about low life expectancy at the beginning was likely just a joke, but I'd like to say this for those who don't think it's a joke (I've known many people who thought it to be true, so I don't assume people knowing anymore).
In medieval times, it is only the "average" lifespan that was low, and it was low because of the high count of babies and young children dying. However, once someone lived past those more dangerous years, they were good to go and usually lived to actual old age (unless they were killed or a plague happened). So the high infantile mortality is what brought down the Average lifespan to be seem like it is so low.
However, it wasn't that uncommon for people to die of old age in their 60s-70s.
It's still lower than now, but it is not as low as to die of old age in your 30s-40s. That is just nonsensical.
Please play more of this game, I actually love to watch you play it, I may not comment much but I’ll tell you know this one of my favorite games, and youre on a list for one of my favorite UA-camrs.
Keep playing this. Combat is a challenge at the start but this is easily one of the best games I have ever played
The Radzig story arc is the best
I’m also Hungarian so it’s great to hear and understand the cuman dialogue 😂
This game is severely underrated. Most players gave up too early and easily because they weren't super over powered by the first 10 minutes of the game.
This game is realistic in the combat difficulty, you are a peasant with no formal combat training. Of course you are gonna get fucked up by bandits and trained soldiers.
But over time, with training and practice, you can really notice the difference when you go from having to run away from a single bandit, to being able to clear out a camp of 5 - 6 bandits or Cuman soldiers by yourself.
*First 10 minutes? You're not even surviving basic combat encounters **_10 hours in._* Except for the bandits loitering around Skalitz, lmao.
I appreciate the realism and the dedication to the grind, tho. So I'm tryna stick with it, but I honestly can't blame anyone who couldn't handle the whiplash. *It took me **_FIVE tries_** just to beat Kunesh on Hard.*
That realization of *_"Oh shit. I'm not "The Chosen One"._*
*_I'M JUST SOME SCRUB!"_*
can be quite the kick in the nads for folk.
Making you work for it was a major strength of the game. And even when you get good at the combat, there still remains risk. Even when I could take out whole Cuman camps with ease, I still had to flee certain fights due to overconfidence/ carelessness or just getting surrounded. While I could still dominate most encounters, it felt earned.
@@Jamushu A huge tip for this is just like a real soldier, train. Once Captain Bernard gives you your initial training to work with the Bailiff, you get the option to go train with him any time during the day you want. You can pay him to just immediately increase your skills, or you can spar with him to level your skills naturally. If you spend even just a day or two (in-game) sparing with him, he'll quickly get you up to snuff with the basics of what you need to survive in actual combat with low skilled opponents. Then you can do bandit hunting missions for him to get even more experience, as well as money to buy gear with and train even more.
I believe this was the intended way the developers wanted you to do it, but left you to discover for yourself that maybe you should spend some time practicing before trying it for real.
@@austinseven4720 The game definitely never loses that necessity for strategy with each encounter. Even late game when you're really powerful, some camps are still really difficult to clear without employing a dagger, poison, a bow, or even all three.
I almost felt sorry for the Cumans later in the game, for having to fight Henry at his peak.
Later in the game, a complex and multi-task quest, upon which the successful resolution of another complex multi-task quest depends on a swift completion of, all hinged on me needing the help of the executioner. I was like, fuck. 🤣
This game is so unbelieveably good
It’s unbelievably bad, especially on console. Loading screen simulator. Plus its obvious it was designed by newbie devs because yikes
@@AlphaQHard Bro doesnt know a single thing about this game. Plus that's gotta be the hardest bait comment I have ever read in my life. The story is nice, the gameplay is 10/10 and the loading time is perfect (I got a PC that's like 8 years old and it runs perfectly even with mods).
Edit: The world building and the combat is 11/10 realism and the level up mechanic is peak.
@@derlitter
The janky target tracking is definitely super realistic. I often lose track of my opponent when Im fighting someone in real life.
Im serious about this game being bad, but considering its done by a small newbie team then I guess its pretty good. I just don’t understand people who glaze this game like its the best thing since sliced bread when it has a ton of issues and is mediocre at best.
@@AlphaQHard It is the best medieval first person story game that exists right now.
@@derlitter
Doesnt say much since this genre isnt very saturated. Theres a reason this game is always on heavy discount (I got it for $5)
13:16 this part is a freaking meme fr. WAIT.. WAIT.. WAIT. WAIT 😅
there is no way you played this for the first time.
It's adorable seeing someone new playing KCD for the first time and seeing them try to fight the Cumans at the start
Really hope a second 1 comes out. Super immersive 👌
This game is so freaking good. Once you get the combat down it’s actually very rewarding and feels great to take down a fully armored knight to take his gear.
The combat is the one thing I don't like as much as other things I still like it because if you don't have Master striking your combos gets parried by anybody
I wish i could just deleted all my KCD knowledge and play it again for the first time.. after like 10 playthroughs and completing achievements like "Tis but a scratch" the game just isnt the same anymore. I think i used up all it replay value, then modded it and used up the replay value again, I've got like 1,000+hours over Ps4 and PC
Don't ever change @Kevduit lol I don't get to tune into the streams alot, but your videos never let me down. When you were picking the lock on that chest and heard that creak in the floor 😂 that was gold
I love this game. Need the next one to be announced soon
22:37 This whole Peshek questline would not work for me he would only talk about betting on the tournament! So it was fun watching you do it atleast! 😂
One of the best games in the world. Yep I said it
No way he got the secret "die in jail in the tutorial" ending
Why did you skip the Lady Stephany talk in the middle of the night?
14:05 I was not prepared for the "You, Doctor Eggman" comment😂
i really want a sequel for this game, maybe even a co-op addition. imagine jus accidentally killing your friend cuz your skill in archery is ass
I went into this game in the summer expecting Oblivion in Germany but got fucking Bannerlord with authenticity
Hal and Theresa are so cute together it disgusts me
Payday 3 sponsorship didn’t age well
2:13 I literally never thought of it being foreshadowing 😂😂
I need more of this. I would absolutely love a series of this
This game took all the confidence i had as a gamer and jammed it down my throat 😂
one of my favorite youtuber playing one of my favorite game, what a good day
Aaaa I love KCD, would love to see another video on it!!
34:24 No joke, one time I looted the crate downstairs and when I climbed up the ladder, Sir Divish was standing there, fists on his hips, and stared at me. I just respectfully noped out
Its rare to see someone GENUINELY end up with the alternate raid scene that most people didnt even know existed
Wasn't expecting Kevduit's stint as the best worst thief in history.
This is a fantastic game, and I love that it seems like more and more streamers are discovering it. Have fun!
We need a full psychopath playthrough now, Kev. You didn't even get to the fun of levelling up stealth, knocking out people from behind, taking all their stuff, and watching them wander around in their underwear like nothing happened.
To think, you could've just talked to the executioner instead of killing him.
We've got a psychopath here
Kcd is like jingling keys in front of a baby, except there are scalding hot razorblades scatterd on the keychain, and the person jingling them is Ghengis Khan
I played this game and i was not able to live a normal life for a month of my play time . Thats how addictive this game was
God damn dude, I've played through the beginning of the game 4 times and I still didn't even know you can die in jail or gang up on the drunk. Makes me want to play the game again.
Yo, I had no idea you could die in jail during the beginning like that. That's funny as hell.
