Mount & Blade: Warband may be an RPG, but there’s no magic or dragons or anything of that nature. Since I was more interested in defending myself and possibly raising an army, I went with a build that focused on charisma, one-handed weapon damage, shield blocking, and a beefier health pool. You can choose your gender (which, as a sign of the era, actually impacts your standing in the game), tinker with a variety of cosmetic sliders, and fasten a backstory through textual dialogue responses.įrom there, you’re then tasked with allocating points in order to determine your character’s beginning stats. Outside of a brief tutorial that only touches on combat, Warband throws you to the wolves after creating your character. Mount & Blade: Warband is the epitome of the term sandbox RPG, especially on consoles. However, as someone with no attachment to the series on PC in 2010, I found the game extremely overwhelming when giving it a go on the Xbox One in 2016.
The medieval sandbox RPG recently released on PS4 and Xbox One, and while it’s highly doubtful the PC faithful will migrate to current-gen consoles, it does introduce a new sect of player to the land of Calradia.
Available on: Xbox One (2016, reviewed), PS4 (2016), PC (2010)įor being a 6-year old PC game, Mount & Blade: Warband still seems to have quite the following.
