About
Go for it if you want gritty, action-heavy medieval storytelling with suspense and plenty of combat like The Horde or Battalion; Not for you if you need historically accurate detail or a deeper, surprising plot beyond the fights.
Pros: gritty medieval atmosphere; brutal fight scenes; tense adventure | Cons: thin story, some predictability; dialogue not a focus; polarizing and very rough
