*GAMEPLAY REVIEW AT BOTTOM*
For those who are skeptical based on the older reviews stating this game may install viruses, read this. I was super skeptical at first too, honestly I watched conqueror's blade videos for like a week.. scared to install the game because I thought it may be a virus just based on the other reviews. After installing and playing the game for quite a while now I can tell you that it is not a virus. It IS a Russian game and that created false positives when the game first released. Which sparked alot of rumors.

It's amazing how perception can change what you think of something. When I first installed the game I was closely monitoring my antivirus and task manager.. expecting something to go wrong. When one of my good friends told me "steam wouldn't allow a virus-game onto steam" it made alot of sense to me.

*That part being done with, let's get to the actual gameplay shall we?*
I for one love mount and blade, I was actually looking for an mmorpg-style game that was bannerlordish. This game fills that gap nicely. The weapon classes and customization are really cool, and the sieges are really fun. You even get an open world "territory-wars" style mode that's like Bannerlord Campaign.

*Free-to-Play*
This game is 100% free to play, I've played about 10 hours and I haven't encountered anything pressing me to spend money.. in fact I wanted to spend money and it took me a little bit to figure out where the shop was. You can enjoy this game 100% for free and not feel forced to purchase anything. I just wanted to make a small purchase to help the game because it's so enjoyable.

*SUMMARY*
All in all, there's no reason not to try this game, it's free and if you read this far I think you will enjoy it.
