Been playing this game for almost 50 hours now.
Usually i dislike singleplayer games due to fact that I have no one to play with.
But this game has kept me up until midnight.
Running around the map, fighting lords & kings, sieges, raids.
This is by far the best game i've ever seen.
11/10

If you are reading this you are either
No one who owns a mount and blade title
Or you have another mount and blade title and wondering if this is worth getting

Well guess what
This is bad


Everything is scrunched up and your screen is constantly zoomed in
The graphics are not as good as other mount and blades
No mods
Poor quality sound
The armor is very weak and dumb looking as well as ugly

The only good things i have to say about this is
They made a sequel and made everything better
Overall 2/10
Also bands of naked men keep attacking me ;-;

i thought this was going to be a bad game giving only 2 to 3 hours of fun but i was very wrong it gives you a big map to explore and many types of troops to upgrade and battle with it is worth the money and with warband and fire and sword there are many mods and DLC'S

Mount & Blade is a surprising game, I expected a low quality medieval game with bad combat and just an all around boring few hours of gameplay, I was wrong this game was well worth the money i spent, the open world is fun and the combat is slightly button mashy but still epic in seige battles

I give this game a 8/10 for just being an all around good and fun game

I started out with a horse.

I named it Dipsy.

I lost her after a few bandit attacks while I was romaing around the map, and was devestated

Swore to avenge Dipsy.

Went to village of peasants and spoke to the elder.

Recruited 4 farmers.

2 Hours later all of the bandits are dead across the map and I have 200+ soilders, my own land, 10 bandit slaves who had a part in killing Dipsy, A fortune of money, the hand of a beautiful nordic princess and horses for all of my heroes and some of my troops.

All the horses are named Dipsy.

We are the Dipsy Rebellion.

10/10 would rampage again.

Although this game is great, I would recommend getting mount and blade: warband instead of this. It's basically the same game but with alot better features ( Such as multiplayer ). Just my opinion.

Pretty neat, but Mount and Blade: Warband is bigger, better, and has more mods to go with it. Get that instead.

Still a "yes" for a good game though.

As much as I love it, there's no real reason to buy this one as Warband fixes all the problems with this game and adds new content while only being $10 more dollars. Buy Warband instead, it'll be the better buy in the long run.
