A 75 average on few ratings — judge this one for yourself. An RPG that understands the assignment: historical, sandbox, meaningful choices, and combat with actual teeth. Worth it for the campaign alone — the multiplayer stuck around and became its own thing.

About this game

In an open sand box world you choose your allies, your enemies, what provinces to conquer, what castles to siege and what quests to embark on. With Fire and Sword builds and expands upon the highly regarded combat system from Mount & Blade: Warband. Firearms have been introduced to the battlefield. Additionally, muskets and pistols can now be used as sidearms in hand-to-hand combat to quickly drop your foes. In addition to the enhanced singleplayer mode, With Fire & Sword also provides a host of original multiplayer content including the new game mode: Captain.
