Its been several months since I download and play this game, but its still staying at a LOW level meaningless game.
The World in the game is large but not huge, and there is only Castles with similar style and buildings, selling limited weapons and armours, hire soldiers, have a drink/sleep, Fight for experience and money.....those quests you received are limited too, as simple as sending mail to as difficult as capture a Castle. The chracters are ugly, not many interactive / conversation, not many background, and result in NO interesting story.
Your life in the game is only FIGHT (for life) and TRADE (for money).
For FIGHT, you may lead your army to capture a Castle and become a King, but what will you do after you become a King ? its seem nothing but expand your kingdom, the game was not focus on Managing a Kingdom, just built facilities for it .....set the tax rate and collecting tax from resident only. And so, what is the objective to capture a Castle/town? For fame? money? or just for killing. If you can capture Castle, why you cannot manage Castle? Thats why I said this game is only half (or just 25%) developed.
For TRADE, its trading system is simple too, just buy and sell with GOOD prices, no special actions from NPC or the kingdom to affect the price. What I had done in the game to earn money is to Sell the prisoners, as your character growth, he/she might face more fighting, more chance to get prisoner (but it has a limited number you can have), then you must SELL them for not only money, but to give space for new comers.
How about private life, like "the Fable", who may have wife or husband? No. This is a very straight forward game, you won't habe to spend time to deal with relationship, you won't have brother/sister, wife/husband, especially a Friend. You may have followers and you may talk to them but seems no objectives at all. You may simply request the followers to go away if you don't like him/her.
Many players likes the figthing system in M&B, but I do think that its only similar to Elder Scroll series. The sound effect is not that great at all. Most annoying is you won't know you hurt an enermy until you see BLOOD on his body or hear his scream. Fighting on the Horse is "stupid" if you are facing a group of enermy because you cannot attack the enermy at your back unless you turn arround, but you cannot do that actually.
If you play this game, you must be very interested in FIGHTING. Once you feel boring with fighting, you will feel boring and give up the game.
I don't know why those players GIVE this game a 10.0 rating, maybe they are staff of the game developer/publisher, or have another reason to CHEAT others player to buy this game.
What I recommend is to download the DEMO and play it until Level 6, if you DO interested to play it, then pay money for registration code; otherwise, you may STOP and uninstall the game.
