What players say

Very underrated game, very minor differences between Warband, only the Sarranid Sultanate. I still can't blieve that this game is from 2008, literally one of the classics and still one of the best medieval action games.

I liked this game so much that I technically own 3 copies of it. The battle controls for troop commands are slightly cleaner than on the later warband version, so slightly less distracting from the player controls when battles get heavy. If you are looking for a first person game that doesn't need a massive graphics card this should run at 720p fairly well with a 2gb GT1030 or modern integrated graphics.
