This game is great and is currently one of my favorites to play, but there are some things you should know before purchasing. I'll try to illustrate this with a "bad", and counter with a "good":

The bad: There are very, very few maps.

The good: The developers are highly involved with the continuing development of this game. One can easily expect more maps as time progresses. As it stands, the current maps are pretty good, so there's also that.

----------

The bad: The player base has a lot of really toxic, whiny, ragey, edgelords. I got vote kicked from a server because I triggered a bunch of people by making fun of them for saying racist stuff. It was funny to me, but illustrates what sort of people you can expect to find in this game.

The good: There are still great people in the game, and they're not too incredibly hard to find. Also, the developers added a feature that allows you to quickly and easily mute other players. It makes the chat less cringey to glance at.

----------

The bad: There is a steep learning curve. If you go into this game expecting to be an utter badass, you're going to have a bad time. I read someone else's review and they referred to the game as "rage-inducing". I think this is a good term.

You're going to die, a lot! And there may be times when you're unsure of what exactly went wrong, which makes it difficult to learn, which in turn makes it very frustrating when you're first starting out.

The good: Practice really does make perfect . . . or it makes better anyway. Don't jump around on different weapons too much at first. Pick one and stick with it for quite a while. As you learn that particular weapon's speed, reach, and damage you'll find yourself with more and more assists and eventually more and more kills. It becomes quite satisfying.

Also in this process, you'll naturally pick up other useful stuff like placement, movement, and blocking. Your whole game will get better and you'll feel comfortable trying out new weapons.

----------

The bad: Hit detection seems to very rarely not work properly. There are times you'll swear you should've hit the opponent and times where the opponent's blade goes straight through your head with no result.

The good: It really is rare. Also, I say again, the developers are actively still working on this game. I expect it will only get better and better when it's already pretty solid.

----------

The bad: The horses seem very, very broken. There will be countless times when you're just walking along and then BOOM, instant death with the sound of galloping followed. They're fast and they can one-shot you.

The good: There is a counter to them. Health in this game works on a "stand back and suck your thumb for a moment" sort of way. Stay out of action long enough, and you begin to recover health. It's to my understanding that horses do not get this benefit. So, horses can be chipped down and there's really nothing the rider can do about it.

The way I see it, as more players catch on to this and get better and better at dealing damage to cavalry, the horses won't feel so broken.

----------

So that's about it, I think. It's all the points I can think of at the moment anyway. Overall, I really enjoy this game and recommend.
