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!

In this game, you can assemble your army, hire captains and lead the attack on orc strongholds. Your goal is to conquer the territory of Mordor! The main character of the game is Talion. A ranger who is able to bend the will and resilience of the orcs, making them puppets of his army.

You can use the weaknesses of opponents, which you will learn about even before the battle. What about the Nemesis system??will evolve the game. Every minute spent in the game, every battle, or every orc killed will result in an increase in difficulty. The map will change, the location of the bases will change. Now, where there were weak orcs, there will be stronger trolls. And some more orcs are reborn after a while - this time stronger, thirsty for your death.

Pros:

• The Nemesis system that evolves the game.
• By capturing Mordor, you will turn it to the fight against Sauron (the ability to capture enemy captains).

The most popular series of games. Will not cite Odyssey as an example, since Origins, in my opinion, will be attractive to Mount & Blade fans. Jump into the Animus and travel to Ancient Egypt in search of a lost artifact. Dozens of hours of exciting gameplay await you, mountainous landscapes, low hilly expanses, sandy oases and huge monuments to the ancient gods. You can explore the world in free travel mode. Only you decide what to do at a particular moment. You will be provided with a huge arsenal of weapons and armor. You will also have access to unique skills and abilities.

Pros:

• Multifaceted role-playing action with many ways to destroy enemies and dozens of weapons.
• An amazing world that allows you to discover the secrets of Ancient Egypt.

This game needs no introduction. The first and second parts are outdated in terms of technology, so we do not recommend the entire series as a whole, but the last, third part. It is similar to Mount & Blade, as Geralt, the main character, lives in an amazing medieval world, diluted with fantasy creatures. You will use edged weapons and magic to defeat many amazing creatures that terrorize the inhabitants of local cities and villages. A fascinating story that will not make you bored and may even encourage you to watch the Netflix series of the same name.

Pros:

• You will control a person with the skills of a mutant. Witcher.
• Huge, amazing open world with lots of story and side activities. It has everything - romance novels, political games, huge monsters, drama, detective story and much more.

The mechanics of this game is in its name. You are offered to live like a feudal lord. This is an MMORPG in which you will be the master of your own universe. You are offered to control a unique character and explore a world where danger awaits the hero literally around every corner. YouYou can hunt animals, build farms, grow crops or build a huge fortress.

The highlight of this game is the terraforming system, which allows you to use the land depending on your preferences. You can create valleys, hills, build tunnels. The world is filled with resources that will be useful for the implementation of the tasks. Collect them and start building. Unfortunately, right now the game is going through some difficulties, trying to find its place and the support of the community. Perhaps this is the most controversial project of all proposed in the selection.

Pros:

• A terraforming mechanic that allows you to modify lands.
• The ability to independently decide what to do. And there are a lot of activities in the game!

A game created with the support and funding of the gaming community. It holds a special place in the hearts of gamers who love medieval games with realistic combat mechanics. This is a game focused on historical wars. Each player controls a character, for which he can set a wide variety of parameters. Like Bannerlord, Mordhau was in early access before its full release. Players will be able to customize their armor, weapons, and choose between light or heavy plate armor. You will have to find a balance to become a competitive warrior and succeed in multiplayer battles. Unfortunately, you will have to learn most of the mechanics on your own or from guides.

Pros:

• Maximum freedom in combat based on yourm own skill.
• Massive battles for up to 64 players.

Survival in a medieval fantasy world based on the famous Conan the Barbarian franchise. No, you will not control Conan, but a unique character that you create at the very beginning of the game.

The crafting system plays an important role. You will spend many hours searching for resources, hunting, creating new items necessary for survival. This is the only way to get the best weapons, armor and armor. Choose your friends wisely, as anyone here can betray!

• Fascinating gameplay, supported by many mysteries and secrets of the ancient civilization. And you can open them all!

The original game was originally a mod for Half-Life 2. This is the best thing that could happen to tactical medieval fighting games. You will find yourself in the very epicenter of major armed battles, you will use bows, swords, axes, shields and other weapons of that time. The most realistic and complex mechanics will require deep knowledge and high skill from you. Thus, you can compete with someone only after tens of hours spent in the game. Remember that every defeat brings you one step closer to victory. Only in battles will you be able to harden and gain the necessary experience.

In addition to the basic sword and ax control mechanics, you can usecall crossbows, bombs, and even environmental elements (like a vat of boiling oil). Since this is a team game, you will have to act in concert, capture strategic objects and fortresses. This is the game that does not forgive your mistakes. The slightest mistake of even an experienced player will lead to his instant death. That is why everyone can win here, and even a veteran can be defeated by a well-played newcomer.

Pros:

• Battles based on team interaction.
• Deep combat system with a huge selection of combat options.

Not the best example, because not all of us like fantasy role-playing games (MMORPG). ABOUT?Especially if you are not a fan of Korean igrodelov creativity. The game stands out from the rest thanks to its extraordinary graphic style. Your character, which you create from scratch, finds itself in the midst of a three-way war where there can be no winner. Three armies fight for one continent. The player can create his own army, hone his abilities, make alliances and storm enemy fortifications.

Players are divided into teams and fight in the battle arena. Choose your character carefully and embark on exciting, adrenaline-fuelled battles.
