I love, love, love this game. I've been playing it ever since it came out. Back then I had to call my mom in the store because I was afraid to buy something rated 12+. Through many other games I always find myself coming back to this lovely gem.

The historical setting is intruguing and filled with love for detail in regards to history and culture of 17th century eastern europe.

The combat is great as we all know from warband with some more detail to the troop commands.

*It's missing* the medieval charm of warband, yes. No crossbows, no throwing axes, no tourneys. BUT!! It makes up for this with suave musketeers and warhungry cossacs and an overall inventory of folks and features I personally percieved as more grounded than in Warband.

The multiplayer is lacking and servers are wiped clean nowadays but I can live with that. I hold the memories of playing captain co-op with my buddy after school very dear to my heart and favour single-player campaigns now anyway.

As an expansion-type game, Fire&Sword lacks the initial burst of inventiveness we all percieved when starting up warband for the first time but its a more than solid game built on a strong foundation of gameplay features.

Strategy and Slaughter go hand in hand, exciting, challenging and fun. 8/10

Messy open world game drowning in potential
Controls are sticky and the players are d*cks
Max Crew size is 4 and you can't name your ship

BUT

Pirates.

Ich bin immer noch der, der auf Partys kein Smash brothers zockt weil ich dafür viel zu langsam bin und nicht den nerv habe, besser zu werden. Dieses Spiel ist eine Low-Stress High Fun alternative.
