    I want to like this game but its just to bugy and i am already sick of games realeased unfinished. Campaign seems good and theme is also good but so many bugs that develeopers must have seen !

    Ships geting stuck, Create new game menu bugged, Insane Fps drops while waiting / camping / training , Fps drops when landing points are found, missions that do nothing (Visist lady quest just    I want to like this game but its just to bugy and i am already sick of games realeased unfinished.

    Ships geting stuck, Create new game menu bugged, Insane Fps drops while waiting / camping / training , Fps drops when landing points are found, missions that do nothing (Visist lady quest just repeat the same thing over and over), low variety of weapons (day 45 and i still havent found better weapons than ones from day 10 or so), completely dumb lord behavior on maps (why defend castle besieged by 185 when you got 300 men and you are couple of meters from that castle) and definitely more

    I really want to love this game like i loved previous M&B but i just cannot forgive developers such obvious bugs.

    All you need to know about Viking Conquest is these five things:

    1. It has only 3 professional reviews. 2. Even after the Reforged re-release, people still complain about bugs. 3. Every "perfect 10" review mentions a fault in the game. 4.

    2. Even after the Reforged re-release, people still complain about bugs.
    3. Every "perfect 10" review mentions a fault in the game.
    4. Its overzealous fans will mock someone for suggesting horned helmets because they are anachronistic, even though there's literally magic in the scenario (e.g. the immortal berserkers in the Morrigan quest line and "elf" helmets) and your soldiers all shout audibly in modern English whether they are Anglo, Frisian, Danish, whatever.
    5. There are more interesting free mods with comparable amounts of content: AD 1257, Nova Aetas, Gekokujo, and Prophecy of Pendor, off the top of my head.

    Given a 2 instead of a 0 because some effort seems to have actually been put into mixing up the M&B formula a bit in the form of "strategic views," naval ship command, children, an actual entire (though horribly buggy) story mode, and making spears functional in the most obvious way possible.    … Expand

    While the gameplay and story are great when considered as DLC, the reason I'm giving this a low score is very different.

Viking Conquest, which was developed for Mount & Blade, a series developed by a Turkish game company, has never been brought a proper Turkish language support. Turkish translation in the DLC, which was added long after its release, was incredibly mediocre and spoiled the game. This is also not acceptable. For a company based in Turkey, whose biggest supporters are Turks, to not support Turkish in something project they allowed to be developed for their own games is probably not a disgrace that can be seen in a different foreign game company. But when it comes to Taleworlds, you're not surprised these days. They are such a mediocre, money grubbing company that they wouldn't even bring Turkish language support to Bannerlord if they could.… Expand

    Viking Conquest’s multiplayer mode pales in comparison to the expansive, highly detailed, albeit somewhat flawed single-player campaign. It’s not downright bad, it just doesn’t offer anything new, and there are too few servers online. So, if you’re going to the unforgiving Nordic lands, do it for the story.

    By making full use of the aging game engine, the Mount & Blade experience is further enhanced and made more enjoyable. Unfortunately, a large host of bugs and stability issues spoil the show, while likely fixable, cannot be ignored.

    If you like Vikings TV Series and Mount&Blade, The New DLC, Viking Conquest is calling you. Viking Conquest offers satisfying experience with rich content and new game mods.
