Good game, flawed production and QA
I've spent over 60 hours on this and I can definitely recommend this game to anyone who likes RPG games as well as medieval setting. I have to say that overall I found it very amusing and challenging - the completely new system for melee weapons is something that is very hard to learn at first, but after some time you get used to it and then it starts to be very rewarding. Graphics and sound are overall good, although I can't understand why Devs didn't make the original Czech voiceover. I know that the Czech market is too small for such game, but I can imagine that many people playing it would like to hear the original language for the sake of immersion. I, for instance, used German language, cause it was like second most common language in that region at that time. All in all - the 60 hours flew so fast I didn't even notice it, so the game must be good. NOW - PROBLEMS However - you have to be aware of many flaws of KCD. First of all - many bugs. The game is still being patched, but it still have lots of problems. Optimization, texture loading, etc. - these I find troubling, but still something I can live with. But when the game mechanics is flawed and it cause frustration - now there is where the problem starts. Melee fights - as I said before, when you learn it, the fighting system can become very rewarding, but at the same time it remains troublesome and frustrating. It was created for the purpose of fighting single oponent or very small groups - just as it was in the medieval, fights were more of 1v1 combat. Where there are more oponents, the system becomes chaotic and frustrating, giving you very little control over what's happening. And a light archer has advantage over heavy armored target which is... hard to believe, especially on close distance. Sneaking - this cost me lots of nerve and cursing. If you create a mechanic for sneaking, do it well, not 'half bake it'. Storyline - you don't cut story like that. You just don't. Would say more than 2000chrs
