AFTER MANY YEARS in the development of the independent developer Voice Worlds (), the "Mount & Blade" was dependent on an engaged and not least the paying public long before it came in the shop.
And let there be no doubt, this game carries the stamp of his indie-roots on both the positive and negative.
When you look at the screens from "Mount & Blade", it is all too easy to avfeie it as an outdated and smålugubert hobby project.
But behind the unconvincing graphics hides it a monster of an RPG with the incredible number of exciting opportunities.
It all started as a typical role-playing game; you create a character, give him or her a background story and some fundamental forces. Then you will be thrown into a world where five factions fighting for power over the country Calradia.
Rent apart from the background to the conflict and the various factions, there is not an exhaustive history of "Mount & Blade."
Factions fighting and cooperate between themselves completely independent of your choices and actions, and you can always choose to associate with one of the kings, or go on the adventure of their own.
BEST GAME of two parts: a tactical map of the kingdom (where you direct the motion of you and your army) and the battle, the backbone of the game.
On foot or on horse back, it is a true pleasure to fight in this game. You can intuitvt choose which direction you want to switch and use shields, lances, armbrøst or bows.
Here there is no magic, dragons or magic strength drinks that give you the human force, so you rely on the army you have accrued. This, fortunately, you can also control from a safe distance.
The feeling of the game living its own life, and the freedom you get the feeling of not being tied fast to a story, can be intoxicating for some.
It may also seem meaningless, and retarding the other, so the game is not something for beginners.
But is the adventure and are tired of linear role-playing game, I do not doubt that you will found the "Mount & Blade" is absolutely king. And with a very dedicated fans Karenina, it is also no shortage of fanmodifikasjoner, which only makes the game even better.
"How shall humankind ever find peace if the soul remains conscious in the sky and the shadow in the Underworld? The combination of sweet bait and naivety completely destroyes Nature's best gift: death, and doubles the agony of the dying with worries of a future!" - Pliny the Elder
