I love this game....It has to be by far the best game ive played, I bought Mount & Blade: Warband about 2 years ago and I cant get enough of it. This game has such a great combat system, it truly takes skill to block your enemies attacks in this game, and ontop of that dodge the arrows that are flying at you while in combat. It is a game that reminds me of the battles in movies that I always wanted to be in as a kid. I must reccomend to get the Napoleonic Wars DLC it makes this game 5x better as you progress into the future and fight in the Napoleonic era, with muskets, swords, and bayonets this truly enhances your gameplay. The communtiy is the best in-game community ive seen by far, most people in this game are fairly nice and will help you out with whatever you need. Now to me the best part of getting the Napoleonic Wars DLC is the linebattles that go on at night, these battles are usually composed of 100 people on each side and consist of troops types such as Skrims (Rifles or sharpshooters), Cavalry, Artillery, and Infantry, etc. I am glad that I met sombody who reccomened this game to me for this is a game you must try out. I hope you all enjoyed my review, Have a nice day!
