The End of History doesn't really deserve all the negative reviews in my opinion. There are some bugs, yes. For example, curently there are several popups when an NPC dies and he doesn't actually seem to die. Or you can abuse the tutorial battles to level up your character to mid-strength in combat skills (and even further if you can stand grinding for longer). I also ran into an untested update already which does not exactly inspire confidence. However, the game is far from being unplayable and the bugs did not dominate my experience. If there are weak points then those are rather the limited actions our hero can perform and the combat system. There are a lot of fun combat skills but the controls are terribly unintuitive (mouse and keyboard for me). It's difficult to spot whether a foe attacks you or not (too much blurring and colourful animations). This makes blocking difficult but blocking is king due to its timed parry stun feature. When you attack you can only change the direction of your attacks again when you pause for a second. This is quite irritating since enemies move around all the time. If you target/focus an enemy to make aiming easier, pray to god that you get the right one. Usually you don't and then you have to cycle through most of the enemies for just one kill (rinse and repeat). In early game your character must carry the team, so this is quite unfortunate. However, with the right skills and equipment it's still possible to mop the floor with the enemy without too much hassle. It's just a bit of a tedious experience and frustrating when you die to the character behaving stupidly again. All the while you also have to keep an eye on what the rest of your troops are doing. A bit of a multi-tasking hell. That doesn't mean that the battle system cannot be fun though. It is quite satisfactory to win against a stronger opponent through clever usage of skills, equipment, etc. The other negative thing I mentioned are the limited number of things the player character can initially do. Basically you travel from town to town via roads, buy and sell merchandise, visit the local guild for quests (usually a waste of time) and then you visit the tavern which helps you manage relationships with all the NPCs. Straying from the roads is pointless because you can only run on roads and the wilderness is just decoration (no treasures, no hunting, no shortcuts, etc.). This too is a bit deceptive though. The game unfolds through its randomness. The basic loop isn't very interesting in itself but as you befriend characters and as random events shape the world more layers are added to the story of your own character. It's difficult to explain but it's a bit of a painting taking shape the longer you work on it, I guess. At first you are a simple wanderer, exploring the land, making a bit of coin, finding a wife or husband (hint: better do it early or the few good ones are taken). You could be a bandit or a trader and when you decide that you are ready to serve a country things open up further. You will receive orders to fulfil and can now perform new actions (e.g. raising several town stats). Which one do you join? Maybe you like the usurper realm Erdelein this time or maybe you had some memorable experiences with a specific character that make you a pick a side (by the way: there are no very few saints here which is actually good because it provides multiple reasons to choose one side over another - then again, the game is also full of psychopath NPCs which is a bit over the top too). When you eventually found your own faction and split off the game turns more into a management experience than a simple traveler's story. It cannot really be avoided though (unless you enjoy being very limited). All the while interesting things can happen (X killed the wife of Y and now Y swears revenge, kings die, new factions are formed, ...) and NPCs will say things depending on their traits and relations to others, including you. New characters are born, potentially even your own children. Your character may outlive everyone though as the person who shapes the future ("long-lived"). And whatever you do, there is always the doom clock ticking. The more people are divided and hate each other, the more damage the people and the economy take, the sooner the end will come. That is why you must also try to balance your actions out a bit. The clock can also be turned back. Constantly waging war will only bring you ruin. So, the game ends up having more facets than it seems at first. If you pay full price you are paying a bit too much in my opinion though. The game isn't bad but for the full price I expect some more features. I got my copy on sale and I'm fine with the outcome. It's probably one of those games where dumping a few dozens of hours seems to be a given.
I was enjoying the game for what it is. An incomplete cousin of bannerlord, and a few other games we have played/enjoyed in the past. It is okay if you enjoy these types of games and while it is a bit expensive for what it currently offers I figured I'd still try it out. The one thing that surprised me was seeing "Your device is out of memory" Now that sent me. I mean you can probably see why if you look at my specs. It was using 94.5% of my entire RAM at one point and caused a system lock for a bit. Bottom line? Buy it if A: you have nothing better to play right now to scratch that itch, or B: buy it because you just want to try it. Just know that it will cause your PC to explode if you try to run it at 60FPS or above. I locked it to 30 so my system wouldn't go nuts trying to stay cool.
First off, this games has its issues. There are a lot of things that could be done better ie the combat, the tutorials, just explaining how some of the mechanics work that are not really explained well. But I think the game is still really enjoyable. It can be really hard in the early game when you are weak and don't know what your doing but once you get established and learn the game a lot of things are done well. The biggest thing is that once you are a leader you don't always have to micro manage your vassals. They will do things without you asking them that help your country. They don't always do what you want at all times but I was always really happy when they did. like repairing walls after a war or restoring order when it gets low. You do have to pay them to do it but once you are at that stage you should have a good amount of money. All in all its a good E A game at the moment and the devs are making updates.
After playing the demo I was pleasantly surprised to find my save from it could be used for the full game so I was able to get through a whole playthrough. At first the game feels like a slightly more rpg-ish mount and blade with much simpler combat so I treated it like that. This was a terrible mistake that lead me to destroying the world. I went through and started bulldozing through other kingdoms to establish myself after building up my first city super strong and it was super easy. Then I realized how it was a terrible mistake to do so. All those wars made things really lopsided economically and raised global hatred. which in this game cause a lot of penalties and eventually destroy the world which happened shortly after I had gotten established. It was a really good first experience to find out maintaining a balance was actually fairly difficult and that just removing problematic kingdoms wont save you. If you don't carefully restore territory the economic disparity catches up to you very quick. Overall the game provides a fun new puzzle to manage while trying to rise to the top. towards the end it was a dangerous game of desperately trying to calm things down just enough to keep the world from collapsing until it just became too much and everything fell apart. I highly suggest trying the demo because for someone used to bannerlord or warband it may or may not be your cup of tea. the combat is very simplistic and there is a lot that needs to be done for QOL but it was a very fun experience that I can't wait to give another go. So try the demo and see if u like it and if u do good news you dont have to start over. Final note in case the devs see the review there needs to be a compendium with game mechanics its a bit difficult to learn when things are both drip fed to you mechanically and not super readily available. I still haven't discovered how to do many things like marriage for example I don't know if I can make use of the mechanic like the npcs can and I didn't know I could order my vassals like the king could until I accidentally clicked on it.
