Latest Update: 05/08/2022;

Game will not install, one of my programs is preventing it from installing. Get a decent antivirus or antimalware, and it will prevent this game from installing. Further proving my point, for a game that came out in early 2019, some antvirus and antimalware softwares are still preventing this game from naturally installing.

I have Kaspersky and iObit's Advanced Malware Fighter- both of them are preventing the game from installing. I have made two videos, one of me showing that I tried to play the game and it constantly getting stuck. The other one, was me showcasing me verifying the files (To show you I didn't delete any files to make this hiccup to occur) then in the second half of the last clip, shows that I uninstalled, reinstalled the game (Fresh install) and it still won't run.

Be careful. Some things are too good to be true.

Tried to install the game for 32'ish hours (It was more like 2 hours, I left it over night thinking it was going to install with the launcher up, it did not). https://i.imgur.com/uV2WANk.png - Uploading the video now... Also note, that I moved the UAC/user access control multiple times to different sides of the screen to show you I didn't edit anything or whatever (How can I? I'm using my literal mobile phone as you noticed it's shakey). I had to use a phone because the UAC prompt doesn't show up in-screen recordings such as bandicap, shadowplay, etc. So I had to use my phone to show the UAC screen pop-ups.

Update: 02/10/2021; Looks like my review was being shadowbanned, was told by my friend- suddenly this review is no longer on the front page. I scrolled through to see 70 reviews ahead of mines in the most helpful reviews on the negative reviews section.

Mines was not listed amongst, to confirm had two of my community moderators to check it out. Not sure if the dev's can shadowban the review, but oddly enough... Despite being 600 upvotes compared to some of the other on the top 20 helpfuls (Negatives) having only 5-10 upvotes. If you can help with the Algorithm or perhaps its bugged out (if that's a thing like youtube) please leave a comment, and help with upvotes! Thank you!

Also, friend checked (Not me) but he came to the same conclusion yesterday, been busy with the holidays.

Update 12/07/2020: Please consider atleast reading the paragraph below the dashed line below- TLDR; Game is good, lots of bad programs installed onto PC.

The game still has issues, I've been asked by a lot of people to confirm if it does or doesn't still have issues, after my recent investigation as seen here on this screenshot @ https://imgur.com/a/8l64sMY (changed link cause steam doesn't like prt.scr site) - you can see I've downloaded and tried it. Yes it still have the below issues, yes the developer's know of this because I already spoked to them on Discord, and yes they banned me to silence me after pretending they were going to work on it.

And yes there's a bias in their server moderation and Discord; they allowed others to bully me even if someone asked me about my review. I used to be active in their discord, and spent over 200$s in their DLCs and ingame cash. No, I did not get pas the point of the main menu. No, I didn't bother playing because I wasn't there to check the game out, but to check the stuff people were concerned about that was listed in this review.

Yes, there's a reddit post NOT made by me btw, that was removed from Conqueror's blade Reddit due to the moderators there, and Yes there's a NEW reddit post made by someone else in another section to make aware of the issue because they took it down on Conq's Subreddit.

Sounds very shady to me, but again, the game is good.

----------Original Review----------

Game is actually good, just has a "Trojan-Like" program that sits there and tracks you all day, and can't be turned off by any standard accessible option via their Launcher or their game again this game is actually good.

Update 7/12/2019-

Instead of making matchmaking like 31-60, 61-90, etc... They just added the Level Identifier as "60+"- didn't solve matchmaking, you can't even tell who you're fighting, you just know they're 60+ on the scoreboard on their new patch.

If you're above level 30 but not beyond 60+, get ready for one hell of a ride when everyone is chasing you down cause they can see your actual level- Just and FYI. Game is starting to go down hill.

Update 6/29/2019-
Further investigation and checking other views reveal a few things worth mentioning and as a discretion advisory this does not mean this company cannot change or get better, just a history lesson and sometimes history repeats itself; The History and drama of Mail.ru aka now known as My.com on a wiki - https://lurkmore.to/Mail.ru

An article from when mail.ru changed it's name to My.com , also in Russian, but the language is normal so Google translate should be ok. https://www.dp.ru/a/2012/10/30/Mail_ru_pojdet_za_rubezh_s/ -

Finally, here is an article about Russian money flowing into western business especially social media via DST Global (a mail.ru/my.com branch). https://www.icij.org/investigations/paradise-papers/kremlin-owned-firms-linked-major-twitter-facebook-investments-icij/ <<< All of this information was made to me by a person named Bashar, thank you for that public information. @ https://gtm.you1.cn/profiles/76561198051700136

Update 06/27/2019-
I've been banned from the official Discord for making people aware, and actually looking for a solution to halt the pop-ups from coming up every which minute as seen in the video. Claims I said the program has viruses, their moderators allow people to openly bash, harass, and bully me. You can find this all on someone's reddit (Posted on my YouTube video).
---

Original TLDR Below;

However, this game has mail.ru running at all times like a trojan, it can't be disabled by settings or any other means, and constantly tracks information slowing down internet, and even interrupt other programs as I try and play other games. That's very annoying.

Not only is that very annoying, the fact that it's up 24/7 (So long as my PC is on) is even worst. Your EULA/TOS is also illegal in most countries, such as UK, USA, and other 1st world countries for your tracking information and terms.

This is why this game has a bad reputation- Remove mail.ru and perhaps you'd go far- You'll make a lot of money as is- And the damage is done. It's not too late, you can still recover, remove your stupid ♥♥♥♥♥♥ Mail.RU issues and we'll be fine. Until then, I can't recommend this game to my friends anymore (Which I was doing for a while) and with a 16 year old group of 200+ players with sponsorships from MSI, I will not be risking my group's well being because not all of them are tech-savvy enough to turn off the Mail.RU as I have.

just to give some intelligent advice being most of the people here don't seem to have so much as a g.e.d much less a degree in technical science. mail ru use to be use as a different type of program and its true, but then was made into an anti cheat, if your so worried its taking your info, doubt a 16 yr old has much to be useful to begin with other than what acne wash your using. you can easily task manager and end task and mail ru will end and wont return because it only launches on initial start up, but if u quit game and restart you have to repeat steps and if u delete file then game wont start up.

Was told by a reliable friend the game is fine now. I will be confirming my findings after today's download, and I'll be hopefully playing it for 12 hours after a long extensive look into the game.

Out of popular requests, and adds and comments and whatever-more, I will be installing the game again to confirm if these issues still persist. It's a shame because I would've probably already spent 5 grand in the game in the last year or two had I stayed on the game. I did the same for other games I've been playing since.

I thought it's combat system was so amazing is the reason why I had even dumbed 200$s in it in such a short time (I think in a month or 2 week period) I stopped spending on it since my findings. I knew something was sketchy, because even when I wasn't playing it, my computer was a little "off"- slower. And you wouldn't believe all the hatemail and threat mails I've gotten over the year from the games fanboys.

Regardless if I have a video that SHOWS I have nothing on, SHOWS I don't have conqueror blade running in the background (Via taskmanager) AND SUDDENLY it attempts to run when I am playing other games. Very interesting community.

@best dog ever, well from what we found, as long as you didn't start it up you're fine. If you did, there's a variety of ways to make sure. If you wanna be safe, be sure to run some antivirus that is reliable, such as Kaspersky, for the registry stuff, get something like iObit Uninstaller- and do a scan see if it finds any left overs...

CCleaner works too since it also looks up unused registry or left over files.

Man I started installing the game but saw your review! Thank you so much.

Is there anyway to make sure that file mail.ru is not on my PC? I was downloading the game and didn't complete. Should I be worried?

Thank you!
