Mount & Blade 1.011

If you like battle type medieval games, Mount & Blade might be a game you should definitely consider. A game that is not all action by combining some strategic elements to the game, you must continue to be on your feet with a game like this. Having been developed by TaleWorlds and published by Paradox Interactive, it was released in September of 2008 in North America and Europe for Windows.

The game has been around for a few years now, but the graphics in Mount & Blade continue to be pretty good and have aged pretty well. This should work for most modern PCs that have been released after 2008 and 2009 that are running decent hardware. It is not a very demanding game, which makes it appealing for a lot of people that are fans of medieval games, but may not own a very powerful computer.

The gameplay of the game is single player oriented that features a ton of action and role playing elements, as well as requiring some strategy to get your tasks done. Unlike a lot of medieval games released in the last ten years, Mount & Blade is one of the few that does not feature any fantasy style elements such as magic. For a lot of gamers, this may be quite refreshing to find. 

The combat in the game is quite fun and smooth. There are four area where battles will take place: out in the open where two or more enemies meet, in tournament arenas, when defending or attacking, or in settlements during a triggered event. Each party holds soldiers to defend or attack that can be either mounted or on foot with many different weapons that deal various amounts of damage depending on the weapon and its quality. The game has gameplay that is not tiring, but may feel repetitive over time.
