Now, what with the single player campaign being so immense in size, and subsequently taking rather a long time to complete, I can’t review it, as I haven’t even scratched the surface yet. There are new options to choose before besieging a town or castle, fully customizable armies, new quest types, increased political options, a new economic system, and multiple endings. What’s new gameplay wise though? I hear the rage-faced man in my caffeine soaked mind ask. The single player campaign is once again set In an open-sandbox combat/RPG world, within which the player is the protagonist and hence chooses allies, enemies, provinces to conquer, castles to siege and what quests to embark on. The backdrop is 17th century Eastern Europe, during the Khemelnysky uprising and this new century brings with it advanced methods of killing and maiming in the form of firearms such as muskets, pistols and grenades. The storyline is extremely well researched and based on the novel ‘With Fire and Sword’, written by Nobel-prize winning author, Henry Sienkiewicz. These multi-player modes soon spawned some very popular mods two of which are ‘Mount & Musket’ and ‘Russian Civil War’, both of which added guns to the mix.Īnd now we have ‘Fire and Sword’. Then there was ‘Mount & Blade: Warband’, released in 2010, which expanded the concept of the first game to include many significant enhancements, such as improved graphics, game mechanics, more freedom in single player and the introduction of various multi-player game modes. If that weren’t enough, combat is either on foot or horseback too. If you aren’t aware of ‘Mount & Blade’, it’s an award winning title originally released in 2008, and was unique for quite a few lovely reasons, most of them being that it’s an open-sandbox, action/RPG, based in a medieval world, with FPS combat utilising all manner of satisfying, bone crushing and flesh slicing melee and ranged weapons, such as bows, swords, spikes, hammers and much more. ‘Fire and Sword’ is the latest stand-alone expansion of the ‘Mount & Blade’ Action/RPG series.
