This game was mad fun, still is. It got me hooked in instantly. It's also a dangerous game, if it gets you, you are in for at least a few hours:)))
It's a medieval warfare game, in a fictional realm called Calradia which consists of 6 Nations. You start from the bottom, you can build your own army, make relations with lords, kings and you can choose to be a vassal or make your own Kingdom and conquer the entire realm and unify all of Calradia.
Its just so much fun, going into an open Field while being outnumbered by the enemies and defeating them or attacking a fort and claiming it for your kingdom.
This game also had lots of mods and dlcs like Floris, Napoleonic Wars or the Viking Conquest.
Oh and also, the soundtrack is a chef's kiss. 👌

Crashes constantly✅
Ugliest graphics ever seen by man ✅
Combat is clicking until the enemy falls over ✅
Tactics as difficult as asking your army to charge ✅

This game is a fucking masterpiece, with one of the best modding scenes out there

Mount & Blade: Warband is without a doubt one of the best medieval life sims ever made if not the best. This game should honestly not be as good as it is. The graphics are ugly and the animations are strange and stiff yet it owns it. You can do anything in it, it's insane. What do you do in this game you might ask? Anything. What do you mean by anything you may ask? ANYTHING! Do you want to be an infamous raider who enslaves villagers and sells them into slavery? You can. Do you want to be a merchant who travels from one place to another selling goods in an everchanging amazing economy system? You can. Do you want to be a King who destroys all other competition and controls everything? You can. This game's freedom is what makes it truly amazing. This game's lack of story is it's story. Every playthrough is like an entirely different game, not one playthrough or experience will be the same. The combat is great, the mix between action and strategy is genius, the economy system is realistic and can be changed and influenced dynamically by the player or NPCs, the character creation is great. This game is truely a treat for any RPG fan, especially those who love to roleplay and immerse themselves into a world. You can be anything and do anything. And with the abundance of mods for this game that is especially true. Conversion mods that add such settings as: Lord of The Rings, Game of Thrones, Warhammer, various different time periods in our own world from Ancient Rome to Renaissance Europe to the Crusades to the Wild West. There are even mods that add new and original worlds such as Perisno and Pendor with their own lore, characters, and style. And the game's expansions are amazing, Viking Conquest adding a new humongous map that takes place in our world during the Viking age, Viking Conquest adds so much and is an impressive and great expansion. Napoleonic Wars adding a new multiplayer module that is extremely fun and expansive. This game is a must have for any RPG or life-sim fan.

Eu era um mercenário que prestava serviços ao Reino Rhodok, entregando cartas e ajudando algumas vilas. Certo dia, eu fui em uma taverna, encontrei um herói e ele me inspirou a combater a opressão e me desvincular aos reinos em conflito. Assim comecei a minha jornada de ver saqueadores, bandidos e desertores e começar a limpar, um por um, e estava indo tudo bem. Porém, um dia no reino do norte, eu fui combater um grupo de 15 bandidos e eu, liderando um exército de 25 queridos, achei que pudesse ganhar.
Resultado? Além de perder feio, eles me sequestraram, roubaram meu cavalo e sequestraram dois dos meus companheiros. E o jogo continuou sem mais nem menos, me dando uma chance de me reerguer e voltar mais forte (o que aconteceu)

Isso foi só um exemplo de várias jogatinas que eu fiz. Já fui rei, vassalo, conde, bandido, mercador e caçador de recompensas. A amplitude de possibilidades de roleplay desse jogo é algo de se impressionar e de se admirar, sendo um dos jogos que chegam mais perto do roleplay do RPG de mesa. Basicamente um Kenshi medieval MUITO bom.

The release of the original Mount & Blade was a good sign for us. Since a previously unknown Turkish studio was able to create a game of a wild genre, combining a primitive land slasher and a magnificent “horse” action with ancient graphics and cheap production, forcing us to shamelessly admire and admire it, this means that not everything in the industry can be confident yet solved with the help of the publisher's endless budget. It is also important to take into account such a seemingly unassuming factor as a purely personal feeling for the successful fate of your creation, which can only come from the heart. After this, the amount of funds allocated for development does not matter much.

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.
