### 2/5 — Баг на ковку

*2026-08-23, version 2.1*

Игра класс, но есть баг который я заметил еще 3 года назад и который не исправили, почему время ковки одного оружия идет быстро, а когда добавляешь две уже очень медленно идет, исправьте пожалуйста этот баг, уровень 90 ковки должен идти как 90, а не как 1 уровень

### 4/5 — Good game minus one thing

*2026-08-22, version 2.1*

Feels like bannerlord mobile but I paid for no ads n still have them

### 4/5 — NEW MAP WHEN?

*2026-08-07, version 2.1*

I love Steel and Flesh 2! I’d love to see a bigger map with more countries, hireable commanders, co-op, and player-made mods that add things like dragons, new weapons, factions, and more. ⚔️🌍

### 4/5 — Bootleg mount and blade not bad

*2026-08-04, version 2.1*

Does a pretty good job with a mobile version of Mountain Blade pretty much like Luke exactly the same to

### 4/5 — Great game but need work

*2026-08-04, version 2.1*

Really good game, true homage to bannerlords but I think there needs to be clearer objectives at the start of the game in order to grow, I’ve started with low leadership as I didn’t know it would effect squad size and now I’m stuck because all the bandits, robber etc are much larger squads.

### 3/5 — very good for a free mobile game… still not good tho

*2026-08-01, version 2.1*

very clearly a copy of bannerlord. but it very clearly did have a lot of effort put into it, and would be a good replacement for banner lord for those who can’t get it. if the game was balanced in the slightest, the bows are to powerful compared to the weak close quarters weapons, its almost impossible to make money as captured towns don’t generate income and enemy weapons, barely drop, theres an ad whenever you go into battle or start game which fixed by making you pay for no ads.

### 3/5 — Still getting ads

*2026-07-29, version 2.1*

I bought no ads still getting them what’s up with that. The game is great tho

### 3/5 — Китайский арбалет

*2026-07-20, version 2.1*

Здравствуйте, уважаемые разработчики!

Я игрок из Китая, и я в полном восторге от того, как в вашей игре реализованы алебарда гуань дао и пехота династии Сун. Вы проделали огромную работу, и я очень доволен! Однако из-за отсутствия нескольких важных деталей я могу поставить только три звезды.

Как человек, знакомый с историей, я с большим сожалением замечаю, что в игре нет знаменитого арбалета «Шэньби» (神臂弩, Shenbi Nu — «Божественный арбалет»). Это не просто оружие, а настоящий символ военной мощи династии Сун. Арбалет «Шэньби» обладал невероятной пробивной силой и дальностью стрельбы, намного превосходившей обычные луки и арбалеты. Он пробивал самые прочные доспехи того времени и был ключевым фактором, позволявшим пехоте Сун сдерживать атаки тяжёлой конницы северных кочевников. Без него пехота Сун выглядит исторически неполной.

Эту информацию совсем нетрудно найти — она широко известна в исторических источниках и доступна для изучения. Это вполне в ваших силах. Пожалуйста, добавьте арбалет «Шэньби» в игру! Это стало бы огромным подарком для всех поклонников китайской истории.

Спасибо!

### 5/5 — Hard but not impossible

*2026-07-20, version 2.1*

This game is a mobile version of Banner Lords it is very hard though like you can have like a ton of money tons of troops you’re only gonna really get that if you join one of the clans of the world and then when you break off they get mad at you and if you try to claim territory 90% chance the country takes it back so yeah hard but one of the better mobile games I’ve seen.

### 5/5 — Review

*2026-07-13, version 2.1*

This game is really grate and has lots of potential, I just wish the game was getting more updates, the graphics,bots,  movement of the characters and AI bots should be updated.
also there is some problem with reading books which doesn’t actually give bonus, but overall this is great and thanks for developers for making my day better with this game.

### 5/5 — This game is amazing

### 5/5 — My favourite game

*2026-07-29, version 2.1*

Truly a joy to play! Found this gem a month ago and can hardly stop playing. Been a player of Mount & Blade for a very long time, and have always wanted to scratch that itch on iPhone. This fits that bill perfectly!! Only gripe is that I think it could serve with a couple graphics updates but at the end of the day it’s essentially perfect as is, and that would be the only improvement that I think could be made. Bravo developers 👏👏👏

### 5/5 — Controllers

*2026-07-28, version 2.1*

It needs to be able to cooperate with controllers on iOS and android systems
