About Mount & Blade

Calradia is a land at war, a land offering great riches and even greater dangers to the adventurers and mercenaries that flock to shed their blood on its soil. With unerring courage and a strong sword, an unknown stranger can make a name as a warrior. Raise a band of hardened soldiers, become the lord of several towns and castles, and perhaps one day you may wield the power to depose kings and crown new ones at a whim.

Features:

* Free-form sandbox gameplay. You are free to go anywhere and do anything you choose in a world that has more than a hundred unique locations, including villages, castles and towns.
* Unique horseback combat. You are able to attack your enemies on your horse, whether you're swinging a sword, holding a lance or unleashing arrows.
* Highly advanced, sophisticated and intuitive sword-fighting system.
* Fight on horseback and on foot using an expansive variety of medieval weapons, each with their own unique characteristics, strengths and weaknesses.
* Be anything from a lonesome adventurer to a commander of armies or an owner of villages, castles or towns.
* Freedom to interact with hundreds of characters, including kings, lords, ladies, commoners as well as heroes you can take on as companions, each with their own personality.
