A sequel to the popular Mount & Blade game series, which skillfully combined action with strategy and RPG elements. The sequel was developed by the creators of the original game – Turkish developer TaleWorlds. The story throws you right into the dark Medieval Times, forcing you to adapt to that harsh reality. Two of the game's most characteristic features are the open world and complete freedom to your actions. In order to gain fame and fortune, you have to prove yourself as a tactician, a diplomat, and a fighter. Similarly to its predecessor, the game consists of two gameplay layers. The strategic layer is set on a map, where you travel from one place to another and plan your overall strategy. The other one is action – where you take part in dynamic battles, sitting on a horseback or on foot, with a wide array of various weapons at your disposal in either first or third person perspective.

The second DLC expansion for Mount & Blade: Warband - an action-RPG sandbox game. Viking Conquest is set in Britain and Scandinavia, focusing on the conquests of the titular Vikings. Similar to the previous, "Napoleonic" expansion, the creators were inspired by a fan-made modification Brytenwalda - they improved it with the help of its original creators. This time however, the expansion introduces a single player story campaign, apart from a variety of multiplayer modes, such as Coastal Assault or Warlord. Said campaign focuses on plundering expeditions to the eastern Britain, conducted by the sons of Ragnar Lodbrok - a Nordic leader. The player is thrown into the midst of fighting and numerous political intrigues. The game's map contains over 300 towns, representing different countries and cultures. Also, an ability to both travel by sea and fight on the waters was implemented - the player can build and buy different kinds of ships as well. As usual, a significant layer of authenticity underlies the contents in the expansion.

A standalone expansion for the second installment of the popular strategy game series, which is a remastered and extensively modified version of the original. The developers introduced a number of changes into the gameplay mechanics, making the game closer to a full-blooded RTS. This time around, the game's extensive economic aspect was abandoned, introducing simplified economy and castle building in order to focus on combat. Contrary to its predecessors, the plot is saturated with strong fantasy elements. The gameplay is divided into three independent campaigns dedicated to the eponymous legendary heroes: King Arthur, Sigurd, or Vlad the Impaler, known better as count Dracula. In every one of them, we will find events characteristic of the given character as well as unique units, siege engines, and defense system. Changes were also introduced in multiplayer which now features a completely new mode of war for resources, among other things.
