TaleWorlds Entertainment has delivered its role-playing game Mount & Blade: Warband to Android devices based on NVIDIA's Tegra 4 chipset - namely, the NVIDIA Shield. Contrary to what the thumbnail picture tells you, this game isn't a medieval horse simulator, but an action RPG that takes place in an open world. Needless to say, there's a lot of horse riding and sword-fighting to be done across these lands, as well as money to made, dames to be courted, and weapons to be upgraded, among other staples of the medieval warrior's lifestyle.

Of course, you won't be alone in your heroic pursuits. The game is played online and features a faction system that lets you become part of an army, as well as different interactions with other players. As many as 64 gamers can join bloody multi-player battles in Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Capture the flag, Conquest, Battle, and Siege modes. You can also become the ruler of villages, castles, towns, and other settlements. And did we mention you can marry polygonal ladies?

Mount & Blade looks average for a PC title, but for a mobile game, it's pretty sharp. The Tegra 4 allows for sweet visual effects and detailed textures that are rarely seen outside of Gameloft titles. They also explain why it weights in at 802MB.

For a limited time, the game is available for $6.99 from Google Play. If you have the necessary hardware and want to get some high-def sword action, Mount & Blade: Warband might be the right medieval RPG for you.
