Mount and Blade Demo



https://store.steampowered.com/app/22110/
This game has the best medieval combat system I've ever played. If you're interested in making an RPG game, this is THE game to get your ideas from.

The story mode was a bit buggy and slow, however once you've played through the tutorials the Quick Battles are amazing.

* Really fun horseback combat
* Two-handed and one-handed + shield weapon combinations
* Bows & crossbows
* Battles wtih up to 100 soldiers at once
* Good combat attack/defence controls (never has a medieval game managed this before - and I've been searching for one that does forever!)

If they made the story mode slightly faster to load / loaded it all at once to prevent something loading every time you do something, and slightly increased the horseback riding speed & running speed it would be perfect.

 		Only £6.25 this weekend!

Bargain; I paid four times that!

Try the demo first though - some people love it, some people really don't like it. It's very opened ended, so it's mainly about the combat (which is FANTASTIC) than the storyline (i.e. non-existent!).

My complaint bout the riding speed & running speed needing increasing was unwarranted - once you level up and put some more points into agility and buy a faster horse, things are awesome.

Also the latest ATI drivers fixed all the buggyness.
