Martin Klima, co-founder of Warhorse Studios, the developer of Kingdom Come: Deliverance, has voiced his concerns about the direction of the role-playing game (RPG) genre. During an interview with PC Gamer, Klima criticized RPGs that center around the "fantasy of power" and are primarily aimed at younger audiences. He expressed his growing weariness with games that place the player in the role of the "chosen one" destined to "save the universe," calling such narratives "simplistic," "tiring," and "repetitive." Klima described these games as a "distilled version of the classic RPG" and suggested that many players are seeking something fresh and different, rather than the same tired formula. Klima acknowledged that the RPG genre has its strengths, but he pointed out that many games continue to target a teenage audience. He noted that at 16 or 17 years old, players often enjoy feeling powerful through these fantasy experiences. However, he emphasized that the current audience for such games is significantly older, suggesting that the industry needs to evolve to meet the expectations of a more mature player base. Klima also criticized major game publishers for relying on tried-and-true strategies and concepts, arguing that they often repeat the same formula without innovation. He used Ubisoft as an example, praising the publisher's technical achievements, such as bug-free games and high-quality animations and character models. However, he suggested that the same level of effort should be applied to creative ideas. Klima noted that creativity carries a significant financial risk for companies and that there is no guaranteed solution to encourage innovation. Klima mentioned that he played early versions of popular franchises like Assassin's Creed, Far Cry, and Watch Dogs, and found them enjoyable at first. However, he reiterated that playing the same game repeatedly eventually becomes tedious. He also expressed hope that GTA 6 might lead to an increase in video game prices, though this view is not universally shared. Meanwhile, his latest project, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, has received positive reviews, including an 8/10 score from IGN France.
