Each faction has different lines of troops representing various strengths.

Troops range from simple peasants with farm equipment to noble knights with lances and heavily armored horses. Your warband will consist of yourself, your Companions, and then a number of troops based on the level of your clan and the Steward skill of your Quartermaster (either yourself or a designated Companion).

You can also have Companions to help bolster your weaknesses, so for example if you don’t feel like being good at medicine you can hire a surgeon to patch up your troops or a quartermaster to handle logistics and enable your warband to be even larger. It’s this flexibility which makes Bannerlord so engaging and addictive, and the outcome is heavily influenced by your skills. You can be a tournament champion, roaming from city to city crushing all before you, or you could be a charming nerd who spends all his time smithing, trading, and marrying up. Bannerlord is one of those games where it’s easy to make your own story by focusing on the gameplay and character development you want. I’ll admit I never paid much attention to the core story and instead focused on making my character the biggest badass in Caldaria. In terms of story your player has two goals rebuild his clan and do something about finding a banner. The majority of your time will consist of you taking your party from location to location on the world map, interacting with towns, cities, enemies, and people to achieve your goals, and slowly building up your warband into a mercenary force, then a vassal, and then finally a kingdom. Campaign play consists of three elements your character, the world map where your warband traverses the map and encounters other parties, and the actual fighting game.

I haven’t tried out the multiplayer (it requires anti-cheat software to be installed on my PC and I have no interest in playing it), and custom battles are one-off versions of the fighting game in the campaign, so we’ll focus on the campaign play for this review. Clearly the soldier on the right was NOT using proper safety gear or procedures, and will be written up.īannerlord provides three options for gameplay multiplayer, custom battles, and the core campaign where you will spend the majority of the time.

Here we see the noble hero valiantly supervising his men scale the walls of the enemy city. The feeling the game evokes as you join in a cavalry charge or storm the battlements of a castle is really something special. The core of the game is definitely the combat, and here the game excels. Players of the original Mount and Blade will be instantly familiar with how the game plays, and that’s not a bad thing. From there you will kill bigger and better things, grow as a character, possibly get married, and eventually rule a kingdom. From there you will make a name for yourself, building up your warband by recruiting men and killing looters and other vagabonds until you have achieved enough renown to be hired as a mercenary for one of the six great factions. You start off the game as a member of a no-name clan with a small amount of gold, some weapons, and a horse. I’ve already put over 100 hours into it, sacrificing sleep, painting time, and social obligations (such as they are during a global pandemic) in the name of hunting looters and building kingdoms.

Mount and Blade II: Bannerlord was released for Early Access on March 30th, a decade after Mount and Blade: Warband.

The reader should also note that there is already an extensive collection of mods that can be applied to change and tweak the gameplay as desired. This review is for version beta e1.3.0 which was the latest beta at the time of publication. Note: This is a review of an Early Access copy of the game, which means nothing is set in stone and things can easily change. Today “Primaris” Kevin Genson is changing things up from calculations and has a review of Mount and Blade II: Bannerlord, which he won’t shut up about. At Goonhammer, our passion for games extends well beyond the tabletop.
