Combat part is great, love it, Dont change this, But… Fix the seige part, to easy to take castles, you dont have any way to destroy there seige equipment and when you do take a castle you cant keep it because the enemy comes in goups of 400 and you cant stop them. So far, this game is all about the combat only. Put some real strategy into this(Rome total war) and it will be a compleat victory. Just as it is, I play to the detrament of everything else in my life…

This game isn’t going to get good reviews from the main magazines because Taleworlds has no polish in anything. Their PR, art, typography, Web site, it’s all relative crap, even within the indies.

That said, this is better than that crap Pirates remake we got. (Everything looks and sounds like the Sims, because The Sims sells!)

Best game of the year so far? I love that someone with a mind set up like mine sat down and decided to make this game. Charging a war horse through crowds of farmers whilst swinging a f-ing massive broad sword has never been so fun. A multiplayer co-op mode would be the best fun ever. Fact.

Reinstalled this yesterday (thanks to the painless key recovery) and I am finding it more fun than ever. There are still the odd glitches (one of which was communicating to villagers as an ominous floating beard) but they are more charming than disruptive to me. I understand those who are disappointed with the lack of an overarching story or any particular structure to the game yet, however.

I still think it needs a while more on the boil, but damned if it isn’t fun scything through the cannon fodder.

Edit: I forgot to mention the loot seems more sane now – I get a variety of gear/prisoners but feel some sense of improvement with time. Whether its psychosomatic or clever balancing I am not sure.

I have played with 2 characters, and the gameplay has ben widly original and different. This game is a instaclassic.

Yeah, I’ve yet to see a trailer for M&B that isn’t quite crap. The only way to really appreciate it is to play it – I can imagine that watching it is rather dull (particularly if you don’t have the cheats on so you can skip the tedious map bits now and then), and it’s only when you get thrown into a close fight that you realise how brilliant it is.

The combat is astoundingly fun, but I’ve never really enjoyed the overworld. Hurrah for a robust set of cheats that allow you to skip straight to the good bit.

This, also.

Certainly not! Attacks are physics-based and depend on mouse movement. Try the demo. And it’s not fantasy.
