This was a shocking surprise.. what a great little game so far...

This is an overland map much like Mount & Blade - but oh.. it's done so so well!!!

First.. the artwork is just beautiful with stylized graphics and lots of love has went into the map.. everything feels like it belongs. The towns and scene transitions are smooth.. well thought out and encourages the player to actually look at them, explore them.. interact with them!

Crating - Yes.. lots of it, armor etc.. its pretty much all crafted.

It's a bit of a Mount & Blade, Top Down, RTS.. Kinda 4x-ish.. All bundled in a beautiful world, interesting plotlines - unique mechanics.. Each region seems to have it's own issues that overlap mildly between regions.

Reputation matters.. there's a feeling of consequence to murdering a few hundred merchants. The character / troop evolution is nice.. much better than Mount & Blade - companions level up, get gear.. etc.. so your entire troop essentially feels more like the companions - this makes death a bitter sweet aspect.

Restart Battle?!? Restart at Town?!? --> The developers have added some nice touches with the convenience replays as many of mechanics are unique to the individual mob - so it does lead to a bit of save scumming, but the game encourages it.

Overall.. I'm excited for this one - it looks to be something quite unique in a very nice looking package.
