    If you're looking for a great single player campaign like Mount and Blade original, DON'T BUY THIS. It has no single player campaign. Granted it's my fault for not researching this enough before buying it off Steam, but I'd just like to get that out there to anyone in the same situation as me BEFORE they waste their money on this game.

    There is no real roleplay experience involved here,

    There is no real roleplay experience involved here, just a pretty mediocre multiplayer FPS. What made Mount and Blade truly enjoyable for me was the campaign, this expansion is like stripping the best part of a game and leaving you with a mediocre product.

    I’ll admit this is a very interesting theme, as there are not many video games in Napoleonic era, except maybe the strategy ones. The idea is good, the music is great, the execution is also interesting but it did not hold my attention for too long. Playing a multiplayer shooter with muskets and bayonets is a neat idea, but I have found the shooting and overall gameplay rather dull.

  1. Mount & Blade game system has been successfully adapted to Napoleon era. Guns, uniforms and other equipment from that era are nicely portrayed as well. The Game has a low price and that too is another plus.

    An excellent mod commercially distributed for the Mount & Blade: Warband game is brutal and full of vivid wars of the Napoleonic era. All of you tacticians, strategists, artillerists and even sharpshooters, you must rejoice because it's a great gaming piece that's been obviously made by people, who love it, understand it and who know its players.

    Don't trust the bad first impression. Napoleonic Wars is not a re-skinned version of Mount & Blade, but a self-contained game. Give it a chance, if you're interested in the 19th century history.
