As a lover of the other Mount & Blade games, I came in with fairly high expectations and a want to love this game. And I really tried to, but after just 3 hours I realised something.

This game is just nowhere near as fun as Warband, or even the original M&B.

Perhaps this is unfair, due to my love of a medival environment, and I can't quite put my finger on what I dislike so much; perhaps it's the less interesting units or the changes to certain gameplay aspects such as mercenaries which overall just made the game far less fun for me.

All in all, for other lovers of the M&B franchise, I'm afraid I cannot recommend buying this. It's far from being a bad game, but I simply didn't enjoy it. Perhaps worth a buy if on a decent sale.
