The amateur origins of the project are immediately clear starting from the main menu, devoid of too many frills but still effective in setting the atmosphere.


So, as you may have guessed, B&G presents itself in a Spartan way. The typical look of the Caribbean cities of the game. The same formula essentially applies to Blood & Gold: Caribbean, formerly known simply as “Caribbean!”, Before being relaunched by the developers with the new prefix, indicating a series of rather substantial updates. There is no real goal, or main quest to follow: it will be up to you to find a way to survive, become rich and skilled in combat, writing your story. In Mount & Blade, players create their own character, both aesthetically and statically, and launch it into the game world. If, on the other hand, you have no experience with the Paradox series, then the explanation becomes complicated. The Snowbird Games guys have taken the game engine, leaving the anonymous expanses of the fictional world of Calradia, and transplanted it in the middle of our Caribbean, as can be guessed from the title. If this sounds familiar to you, you’ve probably played Mount & Blade before.īlood & Gold: Caribbean is, in fact, a total conversion of Mount & Blade: Warband, the well-known medieval sandbox of Paradox, released a few years ago. Do you come from a noble family, or was your father a simple merchant? Or did you have a hard life, and did you choose the path of crime from an early age? Are you a skilled swordsman, a charismatic leader or a shrewd trader? These are the questions that Blood & Gold: Caribbean places you starting a new game. Imagine going back a few centuries, to the years of the conquest of the Caribbean islands, and asking yourself who you really are.
