This game is a loveletter to Sid Meier´s classic Sword of the Samurai.
Thanks to its extensive and dedicated modding community Mount & Blade: Warband offers almost unlimited (re-)playability in single- as well as in its (still) active multi-player.

Even after playing for hundrets of hours you will find some new cool animation or function in the game that just makes you drop your jaw in awe.

The combat system is rather unique and involving, as it includes velocity at impact.
Every fight is a ballet of death which can last for the fraction of a second or up to several minutes.

Every big battle is dependant on it´s commanders (your!) strategy.
Will your army prevail, or flee in wild panic?
Do you serve a king? Fight against a king? Fight as a king? Fight as a queen?
Will you be known around the kingdom? Will you be feared?
It is all yours to decide which way you, your warband, and perhaps even your people will go.
