RPS: Is this once again a primarily single-player experience? What multiplayer elements does it offer? The single-player and multi-player modes offer new thrills (sounds very market-y I know, but really, there are new thrills, I promise) because of all the new features and weaponry introduced. Yazbeck: With Fire & Sword introduces new tactics and new styles of play because of the historical period it's set in brings to the table the age of firearms & hand grenades. RPS: Can you tell us a bit about what Fire And Sword does that's different from the other Mount & Blade games? Really, any time I have the opportunity to tip my proverbial hat to our community, I'll take it.īut I personally think people find Mount & Blade games special because they offer something to gaming that people have been wanting, which is a solid somewhat realistic ranged and melee combat system that is completely skill based and wholly satisfying, all set a truly open and dynamic medieval world (sorry folks, no elves!)
#With fire and sword vs warband mod
That's not to mention the amazing mod and multiplayer scene we have had going since Mount & Blade 1, which has only flourished with the release of Warband. Mount & Blade games are about a few key things, using your imagination and ambition to make your own story and reach your own goals and taking advantage of different play styles the game offers whether it be brutal combat, decisive commanding, keen trading, or crafty politics and kingdom building. Yazbeck: Certainly! Not the first time we've had to answer this question, but the answer is never easy nor short. What sort of games are they, and why are they special? RPS: Can you start off telling us a little about the Mount & Blade games, for those unfamiliar with them. I decided to have a quick chat with TaleWorlds' producer Mikail Yazbeck about what this new game means, and where it came from.

#With fire and sword vs warband series
This horsey melee game series has been been around for a while now, and is about to ride again with a third title: Mount & Blade: With Fire and Sword. Videogames have seldom managed to portrayed this positive and healthy activity in a useful way, so we are glad that one game manages to do that: Mount & Blade. You might be surprised to learn that they are superior to cars in a number of ways, and the best of those is that they're perfect for swinging a sword from back of as you attempt to trample your enemies. But before glue had been invented people used them as cars. If there's one thing that horses are good for, it's glue.
