An excellent combat-based first-person RPG set in a fictional Medieval era. Free to download & play up to level 6.

This game is still in beta, but it's shaping up to be something excellent.

Awesome mounted & foot combat, archery, and loads more. this is the most addictive game I've played since Morrowind. What's most impressive is that this whole game is being developed by only two people.

Go download it now!

It's a single player game.

I haven't read anything but good reviews for it so I may take a butchers at it sometime.

When i went on i couldnt see any other players anywhere, so i uninstalled again.

Is it an online game?

Yeah cheers, I am buying the licence in a few days. Excellent game, thanks for the recommendation.

Best way to make money before you've raised a big army yourself is to lurk near the starting village and beat up river pirates. Use blunt weapons (club, jousting lance, etc) to knock them unconscious so you can sell them off into slavery for 100gp each.

I'm playing it. It's devilishly hard though. How do you make your money? I trade, but there are umpteen bandits around and you don't have enough men to fight them with.

Do make sure you have the latest DirectX 9.0c drivers, or it tends to blow up on you like that. Also certain spyware causes a problem, for some reason.

Well cheers for that. I installed it and it managed to screw up my PC to the extent that programs wouldn't launch. I got a message saying the system had recovered from a "serious error".
I don't know if this was just me or the game itself has a bug.

I want better graphics.

Right I'm downloading it now. I take it you play it, do many others?
