Mount & Blade: With Fire and Sword demo now available (without having to pillage a castle)

There’s a high likelihood that, if you’re into the Mount & Blade franchise, you haven’t just already bought the just released entry — Mount & Blade: With Fire and Sword — but you’ve been playing it since the second it released. If that’s the case, well, frankly we’re shocked and humbled that you’d stop playing long enough to check out our site.

But if you’re new to the action/RPG/simulation genre, you’ll be happy to hear that the just released With Fire and Sword has a totally free demo for you to check out, also available today. Crazier? You can get it right here, on Joystiq! Perhaps you’d like to check out a trailer for the game first? We’ve got that covered as well, just past the break.
