Medieval Video Games Get Real
November 19th, 2007I play Medieval Role Playing games and I really enjoy them. But, these kinds of games take real liberties with the whole idea of reality in that all the rules are broken. In a fight and your health getting low? Take a health potion and problem solved. Need a quick ride across the lands? Hop on your dragon mount and off you go. These games all take a heavy slant toward the fantasy of the genre.
Ever wonder what a game would be like if it took a heavy slant toward the reality of the genre? Did you ever wonder if there was a game that really took things in a more realistic approach? Well there is a new medieval role playing game out that does just that! And it is quite amazing. It is called Mount & Blade and here is a video of some game play
They have the philosophy of try before you buy so you can download the game and give it a try totally for free before you buy it.
Some other nice features of the game are a really nice mounted combat system which is something not to be had in other games. And of course it has a full suite of mod capabilities so you can go right ahead and design your own games.
It just seems to me to be a refreshing change from the whole host of medieval RPG games that are out there.
