60 of 67 · most liked firstPolitical bs to match the current elections. If I wanted to play U.S. politics I'd watch MSNBC or play a political game. This had loads of potential and I was enjoying it but the dev had to be a jackass and ruin my gaming time with the same crap that's on every liberal media station every minute of the day. Requesting refund. Sadly disappointed as I enjoyed the 1st game and would've continued to support this dev in future games. edit for examples - Ok example, The blond queen loves the…

Seriously, do the introduction quests and when Deiter talks about building a wall around the whole kingdom and keeping criminals and rapist southerners (Mexicans) and Saracens (Muslims) out, and then meet the corrupt Ice Crone and her corruption and likelihood of war with the "Muscovites" (Russia) and support for the Northern Treaty (TPP Deal) as well as her cheating husband and the "Saracen Beauty" they even named Huma after her aide…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As I'm from the U.K and couldn't care less about the politics the rest of the users are talking about, I just enjoy the game for what it is, it's not broken, it plays well. The graphics are lovely and there's so much you can do. All the comments aren't because of the game, it's because of the politics.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I've been a fan of the Eisenwald series since the original Discord Times way back in 2004. Most of my friends were obsessing over Oblivion back then, but I've gotten my hands on a demo copy of Discord Times and have imediately fallen in love with it. And now comes the third game in the series. Blood of November is a follow up on Legend of Eisenwald with one big difference. Instead of a campaign, it has a sandbox mode - and only that, not counting a short tutorial. So how does it hold up?…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As other reviewers stated this game is just full of hidden political messages, which the timing obviously is for a reason, if it wasn't full of these messages it might actually be a fun game, but its impossible to follow the story without reading them and overall they are completely intolerable. The gameplay is less fun then alternative turn based or squad based games, I was looking forward to another game that would be good, instead I got this and I requested a refund, hopefully that goes…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's basically a standalone DLC to Legends of Eisenwald, one big sandbox map with 3 endings. You can side with one of two main factions or you can ''do the thing'' which is a secret ending. Main factions endings are on timer, but there is more then plenty of time to roam around, explore and max out everything. The secret ending have no timer and have even more freedom. All factions including two main are interesting and hilarious to some extend, quests are interesting, items are plentiful and…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Supporting good developer making a good game and gave my kickstarter key to a friend. Happened to be his birthday, I had no idea. Got my name in the credits with the $8 backing and fulfilled a childhood dream: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=791609955 The gameplay is solid, more of the same formula that makes this game great. Story is deep, with native support for multiple monitors and the game is running smooth at 5040x1050, all settings maxed.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As a point of disclosure: I did not pay for this game, I received it as a gift and was asked to provide a review when I had a chance. I wanted to like this game more than I actually do. At first, I thought the reviews that mention the US election must be off base, but it really is the basic premise of the game, albeit in an attempt at a humour. The game has you supporting a caricature of one of the candidates for the US election and going to war on their behalf along with some subquests that…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →feel like a rushed legends of Eisenwald hardly any txt about the npc, not likening the political stuff feels like its tacked on skip it and go for legends of Eisenwald if u want a decent game
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As stated a party political broadcast on behalf of the democratic party which detracts from the story. Would probably have been a pleasant little game. Stick with the original Legends.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great game as I expected,, I love the idea of Politics being in the game, I think its hilarious, I dont know why some are making such a big deal about it . You cant make everyone happy , even more so some of them on steam , they look for something to complain about . GO TRUMP !!!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you have played and liked Expeditions Conquistador,this is similar and very few bugs ,great graphics
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Unlike origina Legends of Eisenwald which included a campaign across several maps, here you have only one (large) map and the gameplay near the end is really tedious. You need to control the most castles on November 8th and there is no way to skip to this date if you control everything already, so you just wait on max game speed and hunt respawning brigands. On the other hand, the enemy forces respawn too, so you'll have a very difficult fight until you level up your troops a bit and capture…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Probably one of the most frustrating DLC type games I ever played. First part was fun going around and capturing castles, building up your army and doing quests. But then you get to play ring around the map, chasing down bad guys who just appear out of thin air and take your castles. Why did they mess with the original game concept where it was more of a story and less of a fight fest. The last 5 hours of game play on this was the developers prolonging the game with 100's of fights over and…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Had several technical issues where the only fix seemed to be restarting the game or restarting my computer. The combat annoyed me enough I started doing auto battles and I didn't seem to get too far in with the amount of time spent. I still don't understand some of the mechanics that should have been explained in the tutorial. This whole game seems to be aimed at the elections and as such was way too rushed for development. I don't think I'll try this game again.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The Legend of Eisenwald is one of my favorite games. This game however, does a disservice to the spirit of Eisenwald. This stand alone DLC is just a single map scenario, where the devs use the toolset to crack a political joke about the 2016 election. This may have been relevant during the election season, but a year later I've had my fill of Trump and Clinton. My fear is that folks will buy this as a cheaper alternative to Legend of Eisenwald, which would be a huge mistake. The great lore and…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Wonderful game, a great addition to Legends of Eisenwald. Really big map and a lot of things to do. Taking over enemy castles initially was hard but it was because I tried to capture them all. I changed my strategy and started taking a few and protecting them and it worked much better. Once I captured all, enemies stopped respawning, and I needed to defend my lands only against a few raubritters. Side quests are good, many have a nice touch of humor. I really liked Underwater Bees, I think…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I am a bit disappointed with this extension. I really liked the original game and played the campaign multiple times. But here, the story line is lacking and the political background used was certainly not a good idea...
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have played the game for a few hours now, it's really good https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yEmw_LmIx6g
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I liked original game pretty much. But not this one. Humor is not to my taste, and I think idea to mix good medieval setting with modern politics is just bad. And without interesting plot game is just boring for me.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Well made turn based RPG with lots of detail and character development.....I saw others say they had performance issues but ive not experienced any of that. If you like turn based conquest games its the game for you .
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Buggy: game crashes, characters and horses that don't appear. Unbalanced Tutorial battles. very very slow paced. If you like Tactical, Strategic games, like me then you might like it but personally not for me. Pro's Compatible with multiple languages, Graphics are: average, Sound: Music was well made. Overall: Taking into consideration this is the companies first game This is a solid 6/10. Nothing unique or special about the game but it was reasonably well made (excluding the bugs) indie game…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Eisenwald: Blood of November is sort of a stand alone expansion to the original Legends of Eisenwald, it's a pseudo turn based strategy game much in the same vein as Heroes of Might and Magic only with much more focus on character development (eg RPG elements). One of the most defining aspects of the game is it's "oldschool" difficulty, even on the easiest difficulty I found myself confronting unbeatable enemies frequently. In addition to focusing more on the RPG side of the game (vs Heroes…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Can someone please let me know how to get a refund. Watched various Youtube vids about the game, looked decent, started to play it and found it annoying with all the political rubbish. Why listen to rumours in the tavern which have absolutely NO baring on the game whatsoever, just political messages. Wish I read more of the reviews first. Can't believe I paid for this game......MUG.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A standalone expansion for Eisnwald that isn't as good as the main game,the scenario sin't that great and the whole Trump vs Hillary parody just doesn't work
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love legends of Eisenwald and if you haven't played it then i recommend you give it ago. Blood of November the game story is entertaining enough if you like a bit of political satire. Choose who to fight for Trump, Clinton or Putin. Unfortunately the game towards the second half turns into a wack a mole chase never ending spawning enemies around the map that scale up in power making some fights very difficult. This monotony carries on till you reach a certain game date.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A major step down from the original.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Loved the Main Game of Isenwald , the iron forest is a bit short but good. now im enjoying this kept me laughing for hours and made my day happy. Diplomacy is best served with an axe to the head. Politics comes from the word Poly = meaning many and Ticks = meaning Blood Sucking parasites would kill politics again 10/10 Blood for the blood God
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Games do not get saved and therefore some quests have to be replayed over and over. very annoying. |Apart from having to begin the game with 300 to build an army its impossible to try and win a castle. pathetic to say the least.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you want a more detailed overview then read what I wrote for Legends of Eisenwald - this is a stand-alone expansion pack for that. I am only going to touch the subject that some people have been crying about. It's amazing how thin-skinned some people are: the game has elements of SATIRE in relation to certain political events - SATIRE has been a thing in relation to politics since the ancient times. The game is not taking sides in its use of SATIRE. Seriously, if you are so thin-skinned…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun concept. Nice story. Great Graphics. Controls are wonky. The mechanics of territory control/conquer are extremely frustrating. Play King's Bounty instead unless you really really like this series for some reason.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →8/10. There are some dialogue issues where a question is asked and the yes/no doesnt fit, but all and all it is a fun game to play.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Keeps crashing. Very Frustrating!!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Sorry, what year is it again?
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great game, just fix the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ crashes. The scenarios and quests are wonderfully interesting and it follows the US election very well. Far more unbiased than the media.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Gets boring pretty fast. Has some terrible balance issues. If you still want to try it, get it when its <$5
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Boring and slow.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I Liked Legends of Eisenwald, this is not the same game, I thought it was and DLC that would be used with the original game its not. And I cant say the gameplay is improved its reverse.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I didn't play long enough to have any deep, cutting remarks here. I found the graphics to look at least 10 years older than they actually are, with an unappealing art style/aesthetic. Movement across the map is very slow and for no apparent reason. Combat is similar to Heroes of Might & Magic or King's Bounty, though I would check out those franchises before considering this one, as I felt they were better made. It appears to be set in a more realistic setting than something fantastical like…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It took me a little while to get used to the combat and how to navigate the world, but once that was out of the way I really enjoyed Eisenwald! I got it by donating (https://www.humblebundle.com/yogscast-jingle-jam) y'see. If you like turn-based combat and running a kingdom, then this is the game for you!

In this role-playing game, you have the freedom to make choices that affect both story and gameplay, and to customise your character's abilities and equipment to suit your play style. You explore different environments, from snow-capped mountains to lush forests and enchanted swamps, as you fight various enemies, including…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's good but probably the least favourite of the Eisenwald games. The story is a medieval take on the American presidential elections... which I do not follow by choice. I kinda got the point here and there cause you gotta live in a tower not to hear of certain things but I preferred the legends and the magic feel of the main campaign to this. Basically its a lot of 'not my thing' wrapped a medieval setting. That said: I enjoyed it. It was worth it. It didn't rock my world like the main…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you like the Legends of Eisenwald game and its combat system, and you like sandbox, open map, games, this is a good game. Who cares about the politics, honestly I might not have even noticed them if reviewers hadn't mentioned it. But because they did, I put off playing this game after I purchased it for a long time. I regret that now. As I just played it all weekend, and it is great fun.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So far I am really enjoying the game, It had ZERO performance issues and the gameplay was pretty smooth. I really enjoy the idea of mixing RPG and turned based strategy and the game is not as easy as I thought. There is a lot of mico-management in the game. The graphics and specifically the lighting is good for an indie title. Most triple A titles have trouble getting the lighting as beautiful as this. One negative thing I did find is that sometimes your hero would not move to a specific…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Eisenwald: Blood of November is a semi-standalone "expansion" to Legends of Eisenwald. It's a big world map adventure game with combat resolved in turn based hex map combat, not completely unlike the old Heroes of Might and Magic series. While the concept is golden, and should be a no brainer recipe for success, there's problems here. The developers abandoned the rich storytelling that made Legends of Eisenwald a great success, and exchanged it for a "sandbox" experience. Developers must…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's kind of a choose your own adventure game. Some parallels to current events but set in the distant past. Fun afternoon of playing.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's basically just a standalone DLC to Legends of Eisenwald, one big sandbox map with 3 endings.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is just as good or better than the first one. The people ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ are just snowflaking Trumpers butthurt that they used the 2016 US Presidential Election as inspiration for the storyline. But besides that, i like this one a bit better since you have a ncie start in the game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A wonderful, rip roaring laugh. Great reading and a great game to play, although i find this dlc a tad more difficult than the main game, a good challenge. And surely the Northern Treaty is Nato, not TPP. Deiter for President. lol
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →After war in Ukraine, I am giving negative because buying that game is support of terrorist country - Russian and as Belarus as a direct slave of Russia, its same support of terrorists attacks on Ukraine and nazi ideology forced in by russian federation. DEVELOPER: Aterdux Entertainment PUBLISHER: Aterdux Entertainment ... is a video game development company based in Belarus. dont support them.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Gameplay becomes whack-a-mole quickly. You capture castle, you move away. Enemy party spawns and recaptures it. Now imagine doing that with 10 castles. That is what the game is like. Disappointing.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I regret buying this.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Eisenwald: Blood of November, developed and published by Aterdux Entertainment, is a standalone expansion that builds upon the foundation of Legends of Eisenwald while narrowing its scope into a more focused, conflict-driven scenario. Rather than reinventing the formula, it leans into the same blend of sandbox exploration, turn-based tactical combat, and grounded storytelling, presenting a medieval world shaped by political instability and personal ambition. It feels less like a sweeping epic…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I had this in my library for a long time and forgot about it. Wanted to write a review before I forget about it again. I played the main game and liked it. This one is a smaller scope, but very similar otherwise. Many reviewers found issue with the similarities to the contenders of the current election. If they exist, they are very easy to ignore. The so-called Trump character was always in a perpetual boozy party. He is in reality a teetotallar. So, those comments can be safely ignored. My…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →-Need more balance, the enemy can just spawn indefinitely and pester you... I rate it 2/10
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Plays games to get away from IRL politics This game is a straight up and continual reference to IRL politics, and is SUPER cringey. Just play the original Legends of Eisenwald and the workshop scenarios if you want more. I'll probably finish it, but that's because I enjoy the base game mechanics and have literally nothing else to play right now.
