    In a league of it's own and has so many good mods and a very good community. It even has mechanics bannerlord does not. It's an eternal classic.

    First example of its kind. It offers you tons of new experience and new mechanics. In 2023, this game is a nostalgia bomb.

    A blank canvas. The game creates a world with little restrictions and you play what you want. Excellent combat simulator and infinite options with zero history. The game depends excessively on mods.

    Many years after its release, it's still a much better game than Bannerlord. As long as this game exists, it's unlikely that Bannerlord will really get a chance. The developers are so visionless and lazy that the game they made in 2010 still looks better than the game they made in 2022, and that's a serious problem.

I don't think I'll be excited about any other game from Taleworlds after this, and they probably won't even try to develop another game, because Bannerlord took them 10 years to develop, and the result is a mediocre game that relies on mods to fill it out. But what they forgot is that the same was true for Warband. The developers also never bothered to write a story for the single player campaign in Bannerlord. Their only concern was to make an online game. But that's also true for Warband. In short, everything Bannerlord has to offer, Warband already gave to players years ago.… Expand

    Among the best RPG sandboxes of all time. Many seperate, simple systems like reputation, status, unit power, economics, combine into an unstoppable juggernaut of fun. Sieges and battles are so satisfying, and the politics surrounding them are engaging enough to fill the downtime.

    Shot, I love this game. I played it like 500 hours. It is like combine of strategy and action with great harmony. Battles (especially siege battles) are exciting and enjoyable. It feels like you can be whatever you want in that world but in the end, you always became a lord and fight for the crown of caldaria.

    It is nice to wander through the lands of Calradia, to conquer, to chase bandits and even to be captured. The mechanics are fun and easy to get used to. Using the points where each nation is good and bad adds strategy to the game. Definitely, both native and modes are very enjoyable. The best Turkish game (Until the full version of Bannerlord is released, of course). cCc

However, there are a lucky few who have played and appreciated the -at that time- obscure gem titled Mount & Blade. The first time you play Mount & Blade, it will blow your mind. It will give you that [insert your first MMORPG or first Souls game] effect, because it is extremely immersive and there is nothing quite like it. It is also a purely sandbox game, where it truly lets you play it the way you want to play and write your own story.

    Mount & Blade: Warband was the title which managed to reach much wider audience, despite receiving mixed reviews from the critics. Yes, it is very rough around the edges, but for those who are prepared to see past its imperfections, it an extremely deep medieval simulator. To further elaborate, I am an avid reader of history and Mount & Blade helped me to visualise complex history books. The only reason I don’t consider Warband a masterpiece is the fact that I have seen this before. There are some minor improvements, yes, but in my opinion, there isn’t enough to justify a standalone release, as far as the single player parts are concerned. A newcomer will find a masterpiece here. But I felt like Warband was the full release of the “early access” version, the vanilla Mount & Blade.

    It could be my luck but, in my campaign, my faction was rarely in war with another faction and there was too much down time. I know I can start a war, but for roleplaying reasons, chose not to.

    Warband adds another aspect, that is the multiplayer. Combined with Mount & Blade’s satisfying combat and interesting theme and different modes to choose from (Siege, Deathmatch etc.), Warband multiplayer is great fun, especially considering its release date. I would argue it is now surpassed by the likes of Mordhau and Chivalry. Despite its pretty toxic community (definitely less toxic than Chivalry), multiplayer is pretty good given the limited options you have for a medieval multiplayer game.

    If you have already played the original Mount & Blade, I believe Warband doesn’t offer much extra except the multiplayer. If you are a newcomer to the series, Bannerlord may be the right choice as being pretty much the same game with enhanced graphics. If Warband was your first Mount & Blade game and you have played it prior to Bannerlord’s release, lucky you. I bet Warband was a special game for you.    … Expand

    Rather untaken approach to game design, there isnt a main story you are in a world that is reactive and where things unrelated to you will happen. The story is yours to create, has immense role play potential but the lack of substantial quest line can leave people wandering around sometimes.

    Abi bi kere üstüne oyun yok bannerlord 8 yıl sonra çıktı bence o da gayet başarılı . Oyunda ki karakterlere gerçek bir insanmış gibi onlarla bazı diyologlara girmek güzel . Çok sarıyor zamanın nasıl geçtiğini anlamıyorsunuz kesinlikle oynayın derim.

    A very engaging single-player campaign that simulates your adventure in a medieval setting. Swordplay is simple and translates very well into multiplayer which is extraordinarily skill-based. The game is one of a kind.

    Tout simplement exceptionnel !
    Je recommande fortement ce jeu qui a su exploiter le monde stratégique et le monde économique,
    La gestion est bien faite que ça soit au niveau de la guerre ou de l’économie. Le seul défaut c’est les graphismes qui font un peu mal au yeux

    There is no other game out there that captures being an army commander better than this, I've put so many hours into this indie title It's worth more to me then any Triple A game has ever been.

    While its graphics are pretty poor, the feel of swinging a sword on horseback in warband is just unparalleled by any other game.

The excellent game engine provides sound and motion fidelity placing you at the heart of the battle. Listen to swords strike shields, cavalry collide with pikemen, and arrows fall like rain upon foot soldiers. Survey the battlefield as you command units to take formation, charge, or open fire upon the enemy.

    The RPG elements include building a large party of nobles to join your cause, each of whom specializes in a variety of skills from diplomacy, to engineering, to combat. Along with them, you acquire stat and skill points which you may allocate as you gain levels. Quests are plentiful as you are tasked to hunt down bandits, hunt traitors for bounty, save towns, all the way to becoming a King yourself. Items can be upgraded from the spoils of battle, or bought from merchants.

    The sprawling and ambitious world design is so complex it breathes, reminding you to balance reputation, diplomacy, castle upgrades, alliances, and more. This game does not force you to play it "as the designers intended", however. It is heavily modifiable, and there are some truly great mods out there (be it companions or diplomacy). You may assign vassals to care for your conquered territories for you, or you can bring everyone along with you as a single marching army. Regardless of how you choose to play, you will feel steeped in the environment, and in awe of the storm of battle around you.    … Expand

    Great game, It is like skyrim but more combat&strategy involved and there is no main story you make your own.
    If you want to play this game beware of the cancerous bandits that attack you every 3 mins in the early game and when to just give them cash and run

    This game is really repetitive and always the same. Still i have spent like 100 hours in it. Why? i really don´t know its just too much fun. I love the big-ass crazy battles 200vs200 men at once. It has really many flaws from boring quests to earning all your money in tournaments which is like infinity money generator simulator. The mods for this game are also some great quality stuff.

    You can attack castle, you can get it for your self or get it for a king to become a prestige warrior for your nation!
    The combat is simple but also something really fun and that you can controll an entire Army makes it even better! it is very easy to control you army though some commands!
    There are also other warroirs that are not only skillable or can be leveled but also can become your next lord under your raign!
    Ok the Graphic is not the best but the gameplay is too good to be just tossed aside for this simplistic reason!
    The best part is also the Multiplayer wich is still active with about 30-50 people on one server!
    you either defend a castle or attack it and it is just a blast because it isnt like for honor with a not so well designed combat system and only npc there everyone is a player like in chivalry only more and more variety to it like horses and different Armor types and weapons!
    Then also the Mod scene of this game is fantastic if you like game of thrones you can get right into it by getting the mod and you will get many differnet armors and people out of the series and ofcourse the map! And there are many more where this came from!
    All in all it is maybe not the best looking game but still the best gameplaywise no one can even get to their level!    … Expand

    This game is awesome. There is a great modding community, and the downloadable contents are really good. The good thing about this game is, the whole story is on your hands. You are writing the story. You can do whatever you want. Game isn't saying to you to doing something. You can be ruler of the entire Calradia or you can just play as a merchant. Everything is on your hand.

    Absolutely fantastic Medieval sandbox. Initially I was taken aback by how low quality a lot of the textures and models were but soon found myself lost in the depth of the world and options for advancing my character. The combat initially is extremely difficult but one you get the hang of parrying etc it becomes very gratifying. Would definitely recommend to anyone who is a fan of the RPG genre.

    Really one of the most enjoyable sandbox games I have played. With mods the game experience is getting even more interesting. Maybe not a perfect game (like the lack of siege equipment, and quite a static surrounding in the basic game without mods) still, with all it flaws it is much better than anything else I have seen in the sandbox world. It have room for development.

Do you want a complex yet easy to play game ? Mount & Blade : Warband is here for you ! In my opinion, Mount & Blade : Warband is one of the best game I have ever played. I can surely say that over my 1000+ hours of gameplay.

    In Mount & Blade, you start a commoner in the fictional medieval world of Caldaria. You can then slowly get higher in the social scale. You can marry yourself, try to conquer Caldaria in a whole, and many more. Also, You can become a mercenary company leader, a king, a noble ( who is vassal of a King ) and many more.

    I will now explain why I personally find the game interesting. First, the party system is revolutionary. Indeed, you need to pay and nourish your soldiers, unlike most game that I personally know of. After, we can talk about the fact that unlike most video game, you are never '' safe ''. Indeed, you can lose everything if you do not play well. Even if you have thousands elite soldiers, you never know when two enemy kingdoms can do a alliance and throw 2000 troops, which then overwhelm your army, destroying it, giving the enemy the path to your castle, making your empire slowly fall. Sure, if you are one of those persons that do not like to lose, it may be bad, but personally, I love it. Now, we can talk about how the weapon and fighting system are pleasant. Indeed, it is innovative for the time and is quite amusing. However, out of these points, Mount & Blade still have it's downfall. It's biggest one is obviously it's outdated graphics. But atleast, Mount & Blade : Bannerlord is coming, which will add a lot of functionalitttes and far better graphics.

    In conclusion, Mount & Blade is subjectivly a almost perfect game. If you think that the graphics are not good enough, you should wait for Bannerlord. But if I was you, I couldn't wait to play this beautiful game !

    In short you start of as a lone commoner with whatever backstory you choose in a open medieval world. You are now free to do as you wish. Most likely you'll want to find some type of goal that reflects the backstory you chose in the character creation. And then you just work your way up in whatever way you want towards that goal. In most scenarios you'll want to recruit people for your cause.

    Whether it is simply being a gladiator in tournaments; or leading a band of pirates and preying on farmers and pillaging villages, ships, etc; or if you want to serve under a king as a lord - commanding hundreds of soldiers on the battlefield as you take part in sieges or whatever political agendas are involved - M&B offers all of it. Or hell; even start your own kingdom where you command other lords. Gaining reputation and being persuasive and charismatic can be just as important, if not more so, as pure combat and strategic skills in this game, depending on what you want to do.

    I think all the different skills highlights how fun and complex this seemingly simple game is. There are skills for how well you engineer stuff (for your own villages, castles, etc.). There are skills governing your leadership ability (how many troops you're able to command, their loyalty to you, how well your army or fleet navigates terrain and seas and tracks other armies, etc.). There are skills on how well you can manage inventory, trade, treat wounds, handle prisoners, etc. Not to mention all your personal skills such as persuasion, riding, endurance, accuracy at bows/crossbows and throwing weapons and how well you do so at horseback, shielding, brute force, athletics, etc. and even how well your recruits learn these abilities from you when you spar with them.

    I have spent countless hours in this game for many years and can't wait of M&B2. And with awesome mods like L'Aigle and battlesize changer you're gonna have some insane battles. 500vs500 infantrymen with muskets is a sight to behold ;)

    The only con to this is that the graphics are pretty bad and of course there's no voice acting... Change that and this game would be a 10/10.    … Expand

    Although there is still room for improvement, Warband's excellent combat system, respectable multiplayer and a lifespan that will prove to be a total timesink means that the game is well worth the USD$29.99 price tag on Steam. Fans of the action RPG genre and medieval games in general would do well to pick this one up.

    All in all, Mount and Blade: Warband is a great game, even despite its flaws. The overall concept is satisfying, and with a more heavyweight publisher behind the team at TaleWorlds, this is one game that could be absolutely great.

    On the one hand, there are the open world and the freedom to do what you want to do, on the other hand, the world is lifeless. It's a great game for some people, but the opposite for most.
