This is not close to Mount and Blade
I have been talking to friends who own the game as well and there is a universal idea that this game is not good but everyone wants it to be good because of Mount and Blade. I think the developers may be way over their heads with this genre. Mount and Blade really put forth a new genre but that genre requires HEAVY AI knowledge. The AI in this game is full potato. In Mount and Blade the AI also took into account unit types so it may not matter if you have like 20 tier 1s, if they are Sea Raiders with 15 they may still take you. In this game you dog pile and no one touches you.

I respect new developers, issue is when it is 20-25$ for the game, and it does not feel complete then that is an issue. This game just feels like someone bought assets off the Unity store and just slapped it in with few changes. The Unity engine is not good for this either because it uses a lot of resources and power to operate. I have a pretty good PC and I hear my fans rev up always when this game launches. I feel like they should have gone for a different genre instead of taking on a new look on a beloved franchise many love and hold dear.

This game needs to fix a lot of the RPG aspects. Small things like actually lowering night vision goggles would be fantastic. Changing maps so they are actually dynamic instead of this.... hill ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ where there are like 5 maps but retextured over and over. The FPS aspect as well is lacking. Firing rate... I know some programming from making and editting mods, so I understand the fire rate but nobody else may. 0.07 type numbers for the firerate is just... dumb. Somebody needs to install a new script so it converts those numbers to RPM instead.

The text needs to be fixed like holy hell I have text come overlap and not fit into boxes which should be basic first steps. Which proves my point of it feeling iffy. It seems like they really wanted to copy Mount and Blade and make this successor type, but it also seems like they are way over their heads. There are many more issues, but this is a review to give an idea of the game. Go watch full gameplay streams of videos if you want to see the entire game.

A Note For The Devs

Devs, if you read this, a lot of people want this game to work, but you may need someone more experienced to help out, or pull more people in while lower the price. Gamers are willing to mod and help out and games like World of Tanks, and Team Fortress 2, and Payday 2 have all incorporated mods, but that requires a massive community and loyal support. This game feels asset flipper like but you do hint that you care for the game. This game should not have left Early Access for sure.
