Kingdom Come: Deliverance is a historical action RPG that tests the player's ability in combat and knowing when to attack and defend against enemies. The difficult combat engine is known to frustrate many who prefer the style of hack-and-slash gameplay, as Kingdom Come: Deliverance puts heavy emphasis on the art of blocking and dodging. If Henry rushes in and starts swinging away carelessly, he'll deplete his stamina quickly and be prone to taking damage from the enemy soldiers. For this reason, patience is the key to victory, and players who can read their opponents' movements and combine quick footwork with excellent combinations will be more successful on the battlefield.
