Game dev's that got it right: "Oblivion that manages just you on a horse? Or graphics to allow 100+ armies?"
Gameplay is the king anyway, and this game is so addictive as to be hermit inducing! You can go anywhere or do anything, but as you progress and raise you're own army you get addictive to the power! :)
Sound, for an indie game, is spectacular, and I am always amazed at the quality of music and sound effects - and they don't come across as bland at all - which larger developers can't seem to manage!
Given that this game is still being updated, I am glad i helped provide a small part of the income to allow this to come to market. I really hope they become millionaires, because they surely represent what we PC gamers want, developers that care about gaming, that understand gaming, and that can listen and respond to their customers!
Download the (quite expansive!) demo and try it for yourself. This is getting close to what I wanted for 15 years - a3D version of Darklands! Given Darklands is my No.1 favourite RPG of all time, I hope you understand the compliment I pay Mount and Blade when I say it!
