Brutal Gamer – Mount & Blade: Warband Review

The scariest thing about this (having written this update on the 29 December 2011) is the fact I don’t remember writing for Brutal Gamer. It’d must have been before I stopped writing for free (something that occurred at the start of 2011).

• Brutal Gamer – Mount & Blade: Warband – Link

Mount & Blade’s a pretty self explanatory title. You gallivant around the medieval game world partaking in noble quests, assisting hopeless villages and slaying all that oppose you. It fuses a variety of play styles into a meld of uniqueness. You’ve got your RPG character development, complete with skill roster and levelling system. There’s optional first person shooting (in the form of arrows, stones, knives, etc). Strategic components come via hotkey orders allowing you to control your army of minions with stratagems ranging from charging face first into enemy lines, cowering in fear as you go on an a Rambo-spree or a combination of the both. As you trot about, relinquishing your opponents of their limbs with devastating effect, it becomes apparent that there’s nothing quite like this.
