Mount&Blade Warband Review
It was shortly after the initial release of the original Mount&Blade (2006) that I posted an article extolling its virtues. I was smitten with Mount&Blade and wanted the world to know how impressive this little game from Turkey was, created by an incredibly small team of only a handful of people. It’s one of those rare pleasures as a video game journalist, when you can take a new, unknown game by the hand and expose it to a wider audience. Low and behold, Mount&Blade began to find traction and before long, the game was being distributed by a proper publisher, received a retail release, and finally, after all these years, a sequel has emerged in the form of Mount&Blade Warband.
Once again, I am in love. It feels like the same girl I cherished before, but she has more to talk about, is in better shape, and has more depth. Oh, and 64 players can handle her at the same time, via multiplayer, the tramp.
