Robber Knight

The Dev has 3 early access games released. None of them left Early access. This one 14 months since last update, the other one 22 months since last update. The newest isn't released yet. Willing to bet it is abandoned.

If you’ve played similar early access sword fighting games, you already know what to expect. The combat is janky, the grind is excessive, and the game ultimately falls short of delivering on the fantasy of being a medieval robber knight. That said, Robber Knights does get a few things right. Recruiting a warband, fighting small scale skirmishes, claiming fiefs, base building, and questing all have solid foundations and can be genuinely enjoyable. The biggest issue is balance. There’s little incentive to invest large amounts of silver and resources when you can simply buy one of the best weapons for around 8k and solo most of the map with ease. If you enjoy swordplay games and can tolerate early access roughness, it might be worth picking up on a deep sale. At £30, it’s hard to recommend. Closer to £10 feels much more reasonable.

You can bodyblock merchants on the roads to separate them from the mercenary group, get easy loot and just run away GTA-style after that. You can get unkillable by wearing heavy armor, leveling its +5% armor skills and getting the final boost to 100% immunity from the anti-pain potion or related food items.

them moving to unreal engine 5, i can no longer play it. but i did enjoy the game development up until then

This game shows great potential and its been worked on since its first got released. Small 2 person dev team but they are active and talking to us, and even though they are changing the game to a degree from what it sounds like they really want to make a game you can enjoy and play as you want. in its current state its worth buying to wait for the big update.

Don't even think about buying this game until it's finished. Which will probably be never.
