Why buy on GOG.COM?
DRM FREE. No activation or online connection required to play.
The premise is basically this: you build an army and fight other armies in order to capture territory for your kingdom. Take prisoners if you like; maybe sell them for ransom, attempt to flip them or kill them if they don't prove useful. The battles are a ton of fun and the replay value is insane. I had always wanted a game like this but I had no idea that one existed.
I bought the game at 10PM, downloaded it, and suddenly it was 7AM. If you play, you will play a LOT. Do beware of that. Mods can extend your playtime to ethernity, but seriously, whatch put for addiction.
TL;DR Bad graphics, sound is not bad but something good, basically old game now BUT OH GOD ITS FUN!
So basically graphics are outdated, it looks like 2005 game (released 2010), sound is like OK music not quantity but cant say its bad. and that's bad parts that are visible on first sight.
Youre thrown in world where merchant gets you in his house and says if you would like to save his daughter (tutorial) learning you how to recruit and fight and thats it. No story or any other help at all. I started playing this game in 2008 (with Mount & Blade) and i discovered a lot because i didnt have a lot of games so i got into it but today with so many games most people go away from it because you have so much to learn. You need to learn characters, locations, mechanics and everything.
Now I explained some backstory, about game, combat is maybe the best, EVER! and very simple. You go around and start low having 5-6 man fighting bandits, later you build more, join army and at end either help one of kings conquer all, help successor take throne or make new kingdom but in reality you can do whatever you want, that it its best part where you decide what you want to be and downside because you have to decide what you want to be (for me big plus).
Now basic game is fun and like it so I use Floris mod which is vanilla EXPANDED and makes game 10 times better, but if you want conversion and big addition of realism then i recommend Brytenwelda mod (continued as expansion Viking Conquest which is worse IMO).
Have fun!
A truly open RPG where you're not "the chosen one" you're not "the dragonborn" you're not "the last of your race".
You're nothing special, you're just a person, and if you want to become a king, you need to put in the right amount of work.
If you've ever played Sword of the Samurai or Pirates! Gold, then this game will feel familiar.
Be warned, it's not easy. It can even be pretty grindy if you don't know what you're doing; I barely know what I'm doing, yet it still keeps pulling me back in.
