I ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hate spiders

A really fun game and a worthy successor to NW! The devs have shown very clearly that they care about the community and have had great outreach to make sure it's a game people want. The addition of the naval warfare gives the game more variety and naval siege might be one of the brilliant ideas ever.

The game still has some points which hopefully will be adressed soon. The melee is a bit clunky, but is constantly being balanced and tweaked. Minor problems with the server browser etc. For a early access game though it's pretty polished and I sometimes forget it's not a released product, which says a lot when compared to other early releases.

So don't fear lads, join a regiment or ship crew and get stuck in! Huzzah!!

The game suffers from a enormous lack of polish.

This is made obvious by on one hand the glaring problems with servers, the UI, the management of crafting etc, and on the other hand a complete lack of a consistent world. Different mobs wander around seemingly at random and they have no reason to be there except for the player to find them and kill them. Camps are uninspired and the "caves" aren't more than little holes in the mountain that can often be explored in under 5 seconds.

While the UI, servers and such problems might be solved later down the line I doubt that the shallow "world" will ever be much more than it is today. If the game even tried a bit of world building it would make everything much more interesting.

Why not give the player a reason to be were they are? Maybe the world is a new discovery and loads of different wizard guilds are sending apprentices to explore and further their guilds magic knowledge?

Why not make orc settlements that worship and protect ancient monoliths instead of having single orcs wandering without purpose in the woods? That would make for a much interesting raid than the current camps.

All that aside the game is a grindfest, and probably isn't worth your attention if you play alone. There are plenty of games that do building better and the combat plays like a poormans Skyrim. In my opinion this is a cheap cashgrab and a very lazy attempt to "renew" the oversaturated survival genre.

Reviewing this game for a badge. I am a sad person. Great game though, buy it unless you're totally lame

Beautiful, tactical and fun. Great game <3
