Kingdom Come: Deliverance claims to offer a realistic medieval experience, but its combat system is far from it. The controls are clunky and unresponsive, making even basic moves a chore. Bugs frequently put players at a disadvantage, leaving them vulnerable to enemy grabs seemingly out of nowhere. The forced lock-on system restricts player agency, making it hard to strategize. Rather than delivering true combat realism, the game disguises these issues as part of the experience, resulting in frustrating and immersion-breaking gameplay.
