I cannot emphasize enough how much of a difference some of the mods have made to gameplay, with some mods offering you almost a completely new game, but with the same brilliant mechanics featured in Warband. The main reason this particular game has kept me hooked despite being several years old now is all thanks to its amazing community support through the mods. There are many options for any player to explore, but of course, this isn’t a review of the game, no – it’s a bit late for that, by a few years I’m sure.
There is a multitude of different ways to play the game whether that is setting up trade routes with cities, stealing from caravans, aligning yourself with a noble house and rising through the ranks, gaining power through deceit and influence or taking over settlements through brute strength. You start out in the fantasy world of Calradia as a beggar, or a descendant of a noble family, or even as a merchant and your role is to survive however you can. Warband features a multiplayer mode, but the crowning achievement is in the single player gameplay. The big selling point for the series is that no other game does what it does of course, you have medieval combat in the likes of Chivalry & War of the Roses, but those games are heavily PvP focused with no other stripes to bear other than multiplayer driven gameplay. Now, the game hasn’t aged particularly well visually but the gameplay itself is where it really excels, so you’ll find yourself looking past the crude graphics that feature in Mount & Blade. If you enjoy medieval combat, swordplay in a first or 3rd person perspective, role playing games, army and settlement management or just like pretending that you are a crazy ginger Viking you will love this. For those of you who haven’t played it, I highly recommend it. I’m a huge fan of the Mount & Blade franchise and even to this day, there isn’t anything else that really ticks all of the same boxes quite like Warband. Mods can really extend the life of a game and Mount & Blade has really made the most of the mod workshop on Steam.
