    This game is a bit rough around the edges, but this kind of gameplay is something I really haven't found with anything else. A fitting description for this game might be "Medieval simulator" or something like that. It is EXTREMELY addictive and I can't see myself putting it down anytime soon despite my already countless hours. Would highly recommend to any strategy or Medieval lover.

    Good rpg for novice in this grade. But I think there is not enough things to do for longer play. So game is exciting for first 20 hours, later you must download mods or get fun on cheats.

    Mount & Blade: Warband is by far the best medieval battle simulator. It is not like other battle simulators where you command a bunch of minions to attack eachother and watch closely how your troops die. No, it is not. You will actually be fighting yourself. Take a bow, sword, pike, crossbow; mount yourself to a horse or fight on foot; command your troops to attack with you or stay backMount & Blade: Warband is by far the best medieval battle simulator. It is not like other battle simulators where you command a bunch of minions to attack eachother and watch closely how your troops die. No, it is not. You will actually be fighting yourself. Take a bow, sword, pike, crossbow; mount yourself to a horse or fight on foot; command your troops to attack with you or stay back while you will be the hero. All of this is possible in this wonderful game. But that's not all; it is not just about fighting. You can recruit your own swordsmen, mercenaries, archers, pikemen - level them up, garrison them into your freshly won castle, or even a town. Ride around the Calradia, be a part of politics, trade commodities, look for the love of your life, and eventually marry her. Yes, you can even marry in this game.
    And if you get bored of slaughtering your enemies alone, you could join one of the many multiplayer servers. The skill cap is insanely high and you will always be able to get even better. Also there are many mods with multiplayer features also to keep you entertained.
    So, what are you waiting for, GO and get that game. You won't regret it!

    i like this game except the repetitive quest and battles and some map bugs. Really unique from all other medieval or rpg games i played. There are still work to be done in strategic aspects. Like in Crusader Kings II where you have many choices that can impact the outcome of your dynasty and not repetitive quests and battles.

    Warband is one of the best games I've ever played and I play games since the early 90's. As long as you have half a brain I can wholeheartedly recommend it. Get also the mod 'Anno Domini 1257' coz this one even made performance in larger battles perfect (somehow?) while I was struggling with FPS in Vanillia.

    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

    While the graphics aren't exceptional, this game is great overall. Multiplayer 9/10. Singleplayer 6/10. The one problem with singleplayer mode is that there is nothing that really grabs you, the quests and main plotlines aren't interesting enough to keep you playing for more than a few hours (at least for me). I did enjoy the open world, though, and the weapons and armors are really cool.While the graphics aren't exceptional, this game is great overall. Multiplayer 9/10. Singleplayer 6/10.

    Mount and blade does everything wrong. And does it right.

    In a world of triple A games shelling out the same thing each year with minimal change this game goes against the conventions that have been set as of late.

The game is a medieval sandbox where you start out as    Mount and blade does everything wrong. And does it right.

    In a world of triple A games shelling out the same thing each year with minimal change this game goes against the conventions that have been set as of late. It's a refreshing change of pace to everything else out there because there isn't anything out there that does this.

    The game is a medieval sandbox where you start out as a peasant with nothing but the clothes on his/her back and a sword or other assorted pointy object. The world is is chaos. The isolated kingdom of Calradia is in a state of civil war and everyone wants the throne. You do as you want in this world. Hunt bandits, be a mercenary in the war, a merchant establishing a global monopoly on bread or if you have a taste for that sort of thing try to sneakily establish yourself as one of the major power players in the war with the possible final goal of taking the throne for yourself.

    The games graphics are not special. In fact they're down right awful but it doesn't really get in the way of gameplay which is quite the acheivement.

    Combat isn't very complex but it can be quite difficult to master.

    And the thing that really makes this game that good is... mods. The moddabillity of this game is astounding. it's so easy that with no idea about programming even I was able to get into the files (and promptly create a rouge race of supersoldiers...oops.). This is reflected in the community with some mods being so large they are bigger than the base game. One in fact landed getting sold as DLC by the developers.

    The multiplayer. I don't normally do multiplayer. In fact I didn't even enjoy this multiplayer section of the game yet it must be said that it exists and for many is the main attraction of the game. The battles can be huge and chaotic and an all round blast if you can get into it. However I didn't manage too for very long due to being squashed by seemingly everyone (obviously I suck at this game). The DLC adds a lot to the multiplayer and if that's why you're buying the game I suggest picking them up.

    Final verdict; 9 out of 10 (with mods)
    This game seemed to scratch an itch I didn't know I had and will go down in my favorite game list no doubt. There isn't much else to say other than it's ridiculously cheap and if you're feeling like... scratch that whatever you're feeling mods probably have it covered. Without mods it would have probably only scored a 7 out of ten so make sure to get them. (especially the 1000 man battle mod because that stuff is crazy)

    Mount & Blade: Warband - шикарная игра.

    Я бы назвал её одной из лучших в этом жанре, и есть за что. Положительные стороны - Шикарная боевая система, одна из лучших в играх данного жанра (только направление ударов считаю не очень удобным); - Мультиплеер до 200 человек. Спустя 7 лет он живее всех живых. Со скорым выходом второй части упадёт, но не умрёт уж точно; - Большой мир    Mount & Blade: Warband - шикарная игра.

    Я бы назвал её одной из лучших в этом жанре, и есть за что.

    Положительные стороны
    - Шикарная боевая система, одна из лучших в играх данного жанра (только направление ударов считаю не очень удобным);
    - Мультиплеер до 200 человек. Спустя 7 лет он живее всех живых. Со скорым выходом второй части упадёт, но не умрёт уж точно;
    - Большой мир одиночной игры, простор для фриплея;
    - Рыцарские турниры;
    - Коняшки;
    - Осады замков и куча гринда, который по необъяснимым причинам не надоедает;
    - Каждое изображение в достижениях претендует на выставку в галерее, не видел такого отношения к ним в играх;
    - Больше сотни полноценных модов с поддержкой Workshop'а от мира Властелина Колец до Звёздных Войн.

    Отрицательны стороны
    - Высокий порог вхождения, игра не обучает ничему (кр. боёвки). Хотя исследование этих моментов можно назвать интересным.
    - Стоит ли относить сюда графику? - спорно, т.к. игра, очевидно, старая, но для любителей текстурок запишу.
    - В игре нет режима, где есть сюжет с рассказываемой Вам историей. Всё познаётся в фриплее и всё решаете Вы. Мне не хватило историй и "ведения за ручку", но что почитать Вы обязательно найдёте.

It takes place in a medieval setting, in the fictional world of Calradia (though the different kingdoms have obvious real world counterparts). Basically if you've ever fantasized about being a knight, or a lord, or even a king, this is the game for you. It's a sandbox where you can choose to do whatever you want. You can recruit new units to your party at villages, win big money in tournaments, join up with a kingdom and lay waste to their enemies, or become a bandit yourself and burn down any village you choose. Your character in the game is created and customized by you, and he (or she) levels up through killing enemies and completing quests given by lords, guild masters, or village elders. When you level up you give points to your attributes, your skills, and your weapon proficiencies. Obviously one of the highlights of Warband is the ability to form your own kingdom and be a king yourself, although you will usually need to put many hours into the game, building up your army and your relationship with other lords to make them allies, to do this successfully.

    This game has no real story, character development, or any ending at all, which may turn off some. But for me the all the things you can do in the game are well worth the current $20 price on Steam. Now, Warband is basically an updated version of the original Mount & Blade, and it contains some new features (such as marriage), so I recommend skipping the original and just getting this. There's also another game, titled Mount & Blade: With Fire and Sword, which takes place farther in the future with guns and all that, but I never really got into it. However, there is a real sequel coming later this year which I am very excited for called Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord.

    The last things I would like to mention are the two DLC modules for this game, Napoleonic Wars, a very good multiplayer mod I would highly recommend, and Viking Conquest, which switches the game to a viking setting and actually has a plot to it, which is very cool. Also, there is a TON of mods that have been released for this game, so for $20, you really are getting a lot. In conclusion, I would say Warband is near perfect (though one negative I can mention is that the graphics are a bit dated), and it's well worth it's price and more.    … Expand

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

    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 !

    P.S A lot of the bad review are just people purposivly giving bad rating. When you click on their account, you can see that most of them just gave 0 on a bunch of games.    … 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.
