Games like Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord

Back in 2012, Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord, a direct sequel to Mount & Blade: Warband, was announced. This is the most popular game in the medieval setting, which has a huge fan base. And finally, at the end of March 2020, the game appeared in Steam Early Access. If you have already explored it inside and out and are waiting for major updates from the developers (or, conversely, do not want to touch the game until it leaves early access), we suggest that you familiarize yourself with our selection of games similar to the Mount & series Blade.

It is difficult to find something that will be as similar to Mount & Blade as possible . Nevertheless, we tried and created the most informative selection of games. Use it if you like melee combat, love the setting of the old era (especially the Middle Ages) and generally adore games with a well-thought-out melee combat system.

First, I collected a few games that I consider as similar to Bannerlord as possible. And after that I decided to place them in a certain order - from a less similar project to games that will come to all Mount & Blade fans!
