According to fans, Kingdom Come devs avoided mistake that most games set in the Middle Ages make

Although many people question the realism of Kingdom Come Deliverance, it cannot be denied it's certainly more realistic than most games (and even some movies). Characters speaking different languages and hardcore mode, where life itself is your worst enemy - these are all examples of how you can make a game interesting without resorting to stereotypical medieval tropes.

Not-so-Dark Ages

Without a doubt, one of the best represented aspects of the game's historical period is the visuals. According to fans, the game's looks greatly differ from the typical medieval aesthetics and their shades of grey, constant filth and darkness.

Instead the Czech Middle Ages are shown to be more colorful. We'll spend plenty of time on sunny meadows and well-lit streets, with characters wearing colorful, well-kept outfits, so very unlike the stereotypical depiction of a medieval peasant. That's not the only thing people like about Warhorse's portrayal of the Middle Ages.
