The story mode of the game offers an immersive experience set during the war between the Han Dynasty and the Huns, featuring a mix of unique quests and historical elements. While some players appreciate the depth and guidance of the narrative, others find it overly lengthy and occasionally tedious, with less linearity compared to similar titles like Viking Conquest. Overall, the game presents a rich world with diverse factions and missions, though it can feel grindy at times.
- “The mod has a great story and guides the player.”
- “I highly recommend playing the 'limited' campaign as it provides an actual story compared to the free roam campaign.”
- “The story of the game occurred in two hundred BC, telling the war between the Han Dynasty of China and the Huns on the Mongolia prairie.”
- “There's a story mode which immerses you in the historical setting reasonably well, but drags on for too long as others have mentioned.”
- “The game world seems huge, there are a lot of factions, unique artwork, character appearances, environments and towns, and a whole new sort of 'game mode' where you play as a part of a larger army, at least for a time, which is arguably a bit confusing, or even a bit of a grind, but it includes new missions and the story seems relatively interesting.”
- “It looks like there's a good game there, but with a long opening linear story, and with how often save games are broken (they last about an hour or two for me), you'll end up playing the same thing ad infinitum, which happens to not be open world, and may not even involve a single battle.”

The gameplay offers a mix of innovative mechanics and familiar elements from the Mount & Blade series, featuring a unique recruitment and siege system reflective of Chinese history. While the game introduces new features and a solid experience, inconsistencies in controls and some poorly balanced mechanics detract from the overall enjoyment. Despite these issues, it remains a worthy purchase for fans of the genre, especially those interested in an oriental setting.
- “Recruitment uses a system fitting of this period of Chinese history; sieges use different mechanics depending on whether the siege is against a fortified city or a nomadic people's settlement. Trade also depends on whether the people you are trading with have a currency or if they use a bartering system.”
- “A pretty good conversion of the Mount and Blade engine and certainly deserving of more praise. The developers worked hard to change vanilla assets, and the new assets are wonderful, with tons of new mechanics not seen in many mods either. It's certainly a worthy purchase if you like Chinese history.”
- “The gameplay is solid, and it seems a bit easier to have a solvent war party than in the normal Warband.”
- “The gameplay loop is mostly the same, but expanding your army is now more dependent on a promotion system in which troops are granted to you.”
- “Looks like Mount and Blade, but the mechanics are absolutely terrible.”
- “The designer failed to balance between gameplay and reality.”
