Kingdom Come's map is a solid 16 square kilometers, with around a thousand points of interest to discover from end to end. In both games, you can abandon the main quest to go do your own thing across a massive world. Kingdom Come Open-World Map ExplorationĮasily the strongest comparison between the two games comes in the wide-open map, where exploration is encouraged.

That description may bring to mind Mount And Blade far more than The Elder Scrolls, but while you won't be eating 87 raw potatoes during combat to heal up between sword swings, there are more similarities here between Kingdom Come and Skyrim than you might expect. Instead, this non-traditional RPG is focused on medieval combat realism as your nobody peasant protagonist explores the kingdom of Bohemia. Yep, there's no wizard college to enroll at, no dragon souls to devour, and no cabal of evil vampires to overcome this time around. Although the setting and imagery may look familiar, developer Warhorse Studios is billing Kingdom Come as a very different kind of open-world RPG, devoid of the whole "save the world" story line - or even any dragons and magic at all!
