Mount & Blade: With Fire & Sword Preview

Digitally Downloaded previews upcoming standalone expansion Mount & Blade: With Fire & Sword by explaining why you should be excited about it.

Which is exactly why you should be looking forward to Mount & Blade: With Fire and Sword. It legitimately gives players an entirely new experience within the same awesome scope that the original offered. For starters, you’re getting a new kick-start campaign this game is set some years after the original, and access to firearms presents a campaign of a very different flavour.

In addition, the game is infinitely more welcoming to newcomers. There’s an option for different difficulty levels, for one thing something the original game desperately needed. And in many other areas, the interface has been refined in favour of playability. For instance, exploring towns is made slightly easier one of my complaints with the Mount & Blade: Warband was the fact I had to hunt down each and every village elder (the one who doled out quests) in each and every town. There’s a menu to access that elder now – part of the reason this is a much more streamlined experience this time.
