What players say
Difficult game to master, and boy, there's a lot of content. Have lost several games due to utterly embarrassing mismanagement or failed combat encounters (ambushes or greed, take your pick). But when things go well, they go incredibly well. Definitely not for everyone, and that's good, because a game for everyone, is a game for no one.
This is a game which needs not to be rushed, also because it will punish you if you do so. There's a huge deal of work behind it, I can sense that. I have some issue getting in, since the complexity and the need to correctly manage your comitatus needs you to plan and think ahead. And also, I would say, to avoid risk and chances. The music is wonderful, the writing is aweseom and it's worth a try but be adviced...
The game is great, using August 2026 update . BUT there is a critical UI bug (known long since) that does prohibit drag and drop of items, equipent for characters, the wagon, etc. This bug is killing the experience, as you need to reliably equip and unequip items for quests or travel through specific areas. I cannot believe this is not fixed in version 1.30 onward. Playing on Steam on Win 11
