I love Bannerlord and because I already own it, I received this DLC free. That's very kind of the developers and they deserve every penny they earn from the game.

But this DLC just isn't worth the money they ask for it. It gives a sort of app that you can start from the launcher and it tells a story. Like literally that, a story about the land, a map (not that detailed, not usefull while playing the game), a lot of concept art and music.

I mean, buy it if you really really like the game or just want to give money to the publisher, but I wouldn't pay for this.

Lovely old school platformer. In the opening credits you can see the original is from 1989, I was 8 back then, that's the NES era for me. Nice trip down memory lane and nice game for my young kids.
Is it challenging? No not really, the difficulty is nowhere near Spelunky, Cuphead or Meatboy.
But fun? Yeah, it's ok for a while. And like I said, good game for the kids who aren't old enough just yet for the 'murder-your-son-in-law-politics' of Crusader Kings. This'll hold them over 'till they're about 8 or 9 :)

Early Access Review
Edit: edited for steam nominating badge, but I'm 180 hours further in than the last time. Still a very enjoyable game.

So my first impressions of the long long looooong awaited Bannerlord, the sequel too M&B Warband.

5 hours in now. It's pretty much Warband on steroids. Prettier, more refined but still a lot of whacking of looters from atop a horse.

In 5 hours I had one crash and my pc is blowing pretty hard but to be fair it's more stable than I thought. Definately recommended!


I'm 45 minutes in and still in the tutorial, so these are just my first thoughts. That's mostly because I also practiced with all the weapons and started reading all the possible skills.

The skilltree is a big step up from Warband. I love that the game is very recogniseable if you're a Mount and Blade player. There is still a picking off your background in character creation, but there are more skills now. Within the skills there are perks you can pick. This can make for very different playstyles. For example I just picked my first perk at level 2 where I could choose between a small xp boost every day for my whole party or a medium xp boost for the tier 1,2,3 troops of my party. Depending on your preferred playstyle, you can pick one.
If you like to run around with a small elite army who loose little men you pick the first one. If your style is to throw lots of low to mid level men into the meatgrinder and quickly training up the next batch, you pick the second one.

The UI is also better in my opinion, the inventoryscreen is much better than Warbands and in villages you can directly talk too the villagechief without having to ride around a village to find him. This was a very necessary mod in Warband, so I'm happy to see the devs picked up these sort of things. This is a hopefull sign for the rest of the game.

I haven't seen any of the tactics or the RPG elements of the game yet, nor any of the bugs that are probably still there, thanks to early access, but my first impression is very good.

I wouldn't change a thing about this review, but I will for completing my Autumn Sale 2020 badge.
Edit 2: Still wouldn't change a thin gabout this review, but I will for completing my Autumn Sale 2022 badge.

Very good game which totally changes your perspective of war. Certainly for the average gamer, who usually storms the beaches from behind a gun sight. But also more in general.
It really shows how ordinary people get crushed by conflicts and what they have to do to get by in a war zone.
Game self can feel a little repetitive at times and I personally don't feel the need to replay with different characters, but as a concept for a game it's genius and in my opnion a must play for everyone.

Awesome game! It really plays like an old fashioned tabletop D&D. Or I would imagine it does, from watching the big bang theory. I wasn't as nerdy when those were still hip, as I am now ;)

I supported this game while it was in early access. I liked the idea and it wasn't that expensive, I don't really remember how much I paid. I played it for a little while, but didn't like it at that point, decided to come back when it was finished.
Then after it got finished it became free to play, which already ticked me off, there was no refund or outreach from the developers to compensate that I'm aware of.
But now they sell an ultimate edition that will get you all the goodies in the game. It would be fair to just give it to the people who already paid for the game, but no.
Last game I ever pre-purchased, kickstarted or early accessed. This publisher is scum and ruins it for the little studio's that are decent.

Edit: I paid €12 in 2013

Repetitve carpal tunnel game. I bought it because it had a high review score and was under $1, but I've played better free games.

Edit: developer reached out personally because of my review. Doesn’t make me like the game better, but the way he tries to learn from criticism is a big plus.
