Kingdom Come Deliverance 2: Multiplayer, co-op, prior knowledge and demo
Below we answer a few questions about Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 that are asked particularly frequently.
Can I play Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 in co-op or multiplayer? No. The role-playing game focuses entirely on the solo experience. There is neither co-op nor multiplayer mode.
Is there a demo for Kingdom Come Deliverance 2? Unfortunately no. Basically, you can use the first part as a test balloon to find out whether KCD2 could be something for you. On Steam, for example, it currently costs 30 euros. The RPG was available at sales for significantly less.
Do I have to have played the previous version? The story of Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 continues the events from the first part and repeatedly refers to moments and characters from the predecessor.
Through short flashbacks, the game manages to refresh some of the key moments that were not experienced or have been forgotten in the meantime, but this does not offer a complete replacement for playing the first part.
As far as gameplay is concerned, a tutorial phase and regular text displays help you get to grips with the role-playing game’s most important systems. Like Part 1, KCD2 also refrains from constantly taking you by the hand and telling you every detail. Anyone who has already dabbled in the predecessor should enjoy a noticeable advantage here too.
