Here are 20 minutes of gameplay footage from Mount and Blade II: Bannerlord


Mount and Blade II: Bannerlord has been in development for ages now. To be honest I was never interested in this game since I found the first one mediocre at best. Bannerload looks better, that’s for sure, but still far from something interesting, at least for me.

My major complaint is the combat and how fast it really is. Most of these melee games have terrible third person animations and the movement is very fast. I prefer games that lock you into combat like For Honor (one of the few things that game got right).

I have played most of these games, even the disastrous War of the Vikings and none of these games even managed to keep me playing. I will admit though the sieges looks awesome, but I doubt it will be enough to make me wanna play it.

Enjoy 20 minutes of beta gameplay.
