Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord is Warband but with some serious polish. It's possible to go into trading and master caravan routes, become a renowned bandit leader, or just get horrifically drunk on a tavern crawl.
You need to start from nothing, make some coin, build up a considerable force, and start taking some land. There's plenty to do as you traverse the war-torn continent.Īnd you're mostly going to be in battle, either with your chosen lord and his (or her) army or with your own band of rag-clad peasants. The development team has been able to fine-tune the gameplay loop to give it some additional depth. This isn't bad, because it's what made the first Mount & Blade so engaging and popular.
The gameplay loop in Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord is roughly identical to Warband.
