The verdict
A free Mount & Blade-style hero-and-troops battler with fun directional combat and fair monetization, but the Western player base is dead and full of bots. Skip it if you want real PvP outside Asia.
Great for
Fans of Mount & Blade or Conqueror's Blade who want short team-based hero battles, free to play
Main risk
Western servers are nearly empty, so most matches are against or alongside bots
