If you’re looking to increase your enjoyability of this title with a little bit more engagement, look no further than the multiplayer scene or possibly installing The Parabellum. However, this doesn’t harm the game at all. No, there isn’t any form of story since it is a sandbox game. You can manage your land, fight in tournaments, raid villages, develop war tactics, take over the land, literally anything is possible with enough creativity.

No the graphics aren’t quite the best and some of the AI are shoddy at best, but taking in the entire political system alone (rather simplified but still impressive) could consume your time for days. The better question would be, ‘What can’t you do?’ Without installing a single mod, I had the time of my life. Being an RPG sandbox medieval title, ‘what exactly is there to do’ just isn’t the right question. Again, the number of hours put into this game by the average player are astronomical compared to other games, easily reaching the 500+ hour mark for a decent majority.

The primary draw of the game is the single player experience.
