With Fire and Sword is ludicrously fun for me, but apparently it's reception among the fanbase has been rather poor.
I mean, to each their own but i found it surprising especially since i haven't encountered any of the issues most people seem to have encountered. I guess on harder difficulties it becomes much more of a challenge to get started, but when you do get started i really do feel the game is a blast.
I find the mish-mash of Early Modern gunpowder weaponry with the wild cavalry charges and pikemen, halbrediers duking it out to be endlessly fun and exhlierating.
I greatly enjoy the setting too, with it's many different cultures butting heads. The powerful Swedes, the Muscovites, on the crossroads between the East and the West, and the Cossacks, rebellious and independent, the Polish-Lithuanians, a power to rival Sweden, the last vestiges of Genghis Khan's glory in the form of the Crimean Khanate, the Turkic Tatar raiders running around Crimea and the scattered few Ottoman and Finnish soldiers. It's a really unique setting.
Riding out, sabre in hand and a wheelock pistol firing into masses of infantry is just really dang fun, so i was surprised to see how poorly it was recieved in the general fanbase.
