The Kingdom Come: Deliverance duology from Czech studio Warhorse stands alone in the action RPG genre.

A visual novel is a narrative genre that combines elements of literature, illustrated cinema, and interactive gameplay. As with reading a book, the focus is on text, supplemented by static background images and music. As a rule, there are no battles, jumping, or other dynamic gameplay elements.
