My Thoughts on Mount & Blade: Warband
What is Mount & Blade: Warband?
M&BW (Mount & Blade: Warband) is a action role playing game strategy simulation game it was developed by Taleworlds Entertainment, and first released on March 30 2010.
Story
This game allows you to create your character's back story. For example my character is the son of a thief who was a street urchin, who grew up to bea goods peddler. But then was overcome with the desire for adventure, and I was able to choose these choices at the beginning. This game has a very open ended story.
This is the overland map.
Gameplay
The end goal of the game is to become ruler over all the land. You can do this by aligning yourself with one of the kingdoms, or take over a town/village and go from there. The reason why I choose to be a commoner was so that I could make something out of my character, my personal goal is to start out doing mercenary work and make a name for myself so that I can one day rule an empire.
This is what the battle system is like. As you can see I am going into battle with my army which right now is twenty strong.
This the prisoner management menu where you can release your captured prisoners, or recruit them into your army.
This is the log menu here you can look up quest details, and even details on locations and characters.
this is your inventory management menu. You can pull this screen at anytime, and it also appears after winning a battle so that you can choose what spoils to take.
This is the character management menu here you can level up your character.
This is the army management screen here you can upgrade your soldiers, and also you can hire/fire them as well.
I have only scratched the surface in terms of gameplay on account of how complex this game can get.
Presentation
M&BW does a great job at making the player feel like they are in medieval times which is great.
Final Thoughts
First off I want give a shout out, and a thank you to @tell-me-a-vision for suggesting this game to me, and for reminding me that this game came out on PS4 this past Friday. I love this game even though I am still pretty early in the game. But I love this game, in fact I spent most of the day playing it. So if you want to see what it feels like to live back in the Middle Ages get this game I cannot recommend it enough. You can get this game for PS4 XBOX ONE and PC, also for a $20 game you are getting a highly in deph game with hours upon hours of game time.
