GamingOgre: Mount and Blade: With Fire and Sword attempts to create an open-world experience with RPG elements, putting you in the midst of political conflicts and wars. But does this horseback ride leave you all dusty? Saddle up and read our full review!
Dash Bomber writes, "Blast the face off your enemies with a musket that’s about as accurate as a blind man firing from 200m! This is what With Fire & Sword brought to the table when Mount & Blade got its current expansion out. Mount & Blade are a series of games about a random man, controlled by the player, trying to conquer the world. He can do this by aligning himself with one of the current super powers available or he can say “screw that” and create his own kingdom. If you have ever wanted to be the random guy that conquered the world, then this is the game for you!"
Gamepressure: You know that feeling when your favorite game is getting panned by critics? So do we; that's why we've prepared a list of games that – despite mediocre reviews at launch – are adored today.
M. Arda, who has been moderating TaleWorlds forums and helping out Oyun Fest for a long while, found out an important secret by the new “Badge” system that has been integrated to Steam. The thing has been found revealed a new “Badge” in the profiles of TaleWorlds’ developers. The important part about this “Badge” is simple, it is only and only given to the people who are registered to the Steam Workshop.
Hope they make it a little more intuitive and presentable than the others. Their great games and all but a good budget would really kick them into gear.
This isn't a good review.
WFaS was first made by a different dev team with the original M&B engine for the UK only back before Warband (WB)came out. Then Taleworlds re-released WFaS on steam in Warbands engine some years later.
For being an old niche game that was ported to another engine it's rather good IMO. Warband may be better but that's only because it has been getting TLC for a few years.
Like any other niche game. You have to give them time. 2-3 hours in a game like M&B will not tell you hardly anything about it.
