Product Description:
Mount&Blade, war has come down on Calradia and war attracts its own bunch of misfits. Men ride to war, for one or other reason. Some because they are looking for thrill and excitement, some because they are desperate and know no other way. Some because they are so bitter and hateful that they are willing to unleash doom on earth. Yet some, who are the very heroes, will step forward to stop that.

Combining a sophisticated, dynamic game world and intense medieval sword fighting action, Mount&Blade has you venturing through a world filled with daring enemies as well as friendly groups that will come to your aid or need yours. In a land torn by constant danger, raids and skirmishes, you will raise and lead your own war band, commanding dozens of hardened soldiers. You will hunt down your enemies following the tracks they leave behind. And you will fight epic battles where arrows cut the air with deadly hisses, axes and swords hack with fury, and horses and men clash into a violent melee. Interact with hundreds of characters - hire mercenaries to build a private army, accept quests to assassinate troublemakers, or boost your reputation by buying a round of beer at the local tavern



Customer Reviews
Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Mount & Blade is addictive
Mount&Blade is a game that simulates combat with medieval weapons. Most of the fighting is done by men under your command, though your personal fighting ability is important.

There is supposedly no magic in the game, but you and the other Lords (party leaders) are immortal and Lords have some way of knowing the location of all other Lords of their faction.

M&B is highly addictive.


Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Almost but not quite
Overall is a good game but It could have been better - the potential is there, maybe an add-on to the game somewhere in the future would make it even better.


Basic description of the game:

A sandbox game with a combination from Medieval II: total war and Grand Theft auto(just a little). You play the role of a mercenary looking to 'score' in the midst of turmoil & chaos in the land. Join tournaments, recruit soldiers/mercenaries to fight under your banner, do tasks, trading, hunting bandits & caravans, and so on.

I give this game 3-stars because the combat system is flawed whether when you are fighting on the field or be-sieging a city, and the map could have been bigger.

Combat system:

Your troops don't respond well to your commands. There are times when no matter how times you give the commands the troops do not respond to the commands - it gets worse especially when you are besieging cities.

Speaking about cities what's up with the 1 ladder or 1 tower siege ?? Why can't they add more ladders and towers when you are assaulting the cities??


Map: More cities - more functions within the cities..


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Not this much fun in 10 Years!!!!
The specifics have been said. It's a 1st person shooter, only you don't shoot guys, you fight medevil style.

The games emphasis is about combat. Some people complain about roleplay...Although I think the amount of different story lines and character interaction is plenty for me.

Fighting is not hard at all...once you get used to "Looking where you attack". Steer with your left hand and hack away (exactly where you look) with the right hand (using mouse of course). It's Easy and loads fun.

I haven't lost this much sleep for a game in over 10yrs!!!




Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - If you like to fight on a horseback, this game is for you
I love RPGs in general, but I prefer the ones with a compelling story-line. M&B is not one of them, but still it is a surprisingly nice game. The best part for me is riding and fighting, though I got bored rather quickly. Still I play it on and off. This game is definitely not for everybody, but it is worth trying as a demo. Hard to say in advance whether you'll like it, but if you like it, it will give you many hours of entertainment.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - An Excellent Action RPG
I understand that some people may not enjoy this game as much as I have, but to me this has been one of the funnest games I've played. I've played the beta versions of it, on and off for about three years, and I just keep coming back to it. I'll play new games, but I always come back to Mount&Blade. It is an action rpg where you make your character, build an army, and fight other nations. It has a massive modding community, so they're are mods for nearly any setting, you just have to select what module you want to play in, and it changes the game to a whole other world. Everything from samurai, ancient greeks to the renaissance are represented with historical accuracy, and ,most of all, fun.
