Well written, exhilarating story. Really puts you at the forefront of great battles, and the protagonist's narration delves into the struggle of man. There are a good many well designed characters on both sides of this war, and that fact serves to really punch home the experiences of soldiers in warfare, in a period of history, that mirrors a great many of ours. Now stop making us wait for the third installment dammit

This game is perhaps the perfect sequel. It not only kept the core mechanics which formed its predecessors, but also expanded upon previous concepts in only the best of ways. Not only is this game longer, but there are even more decisions you can make, and with them - far more repercussions. You can get some genuinely dreadful endings if you're not careful which is just amazing. I absolutely loved the new characters introduced and also seeing old (not-so-friendly) faces. This is really great.

This game and series is a breath of fresh air compared to many other text adventures I've played: with a good stat setup, a living and beathing world with incredible detail, and a creative magic system with only a few problems. Namely, imported characters (despite ideal performances) being inferior to pre-made ones. A thing likely to get worse as the series goes on for those continuing their Sabre characters beyond here but in the face of enaging gameplay and enthralling battles they are dwarfed Edited

Following in the same vein as the first installment, I cant help but feel like Guns is missing something. The stakes really dont seem as high in some parts (especially the final sequences). It's as if about halfway through the challenges become progressively easier. Also, certain relationships seem to be dead ends - little throwaway options placed there to create the illusion of choice. Overall, I found Guns to be satisfying in parts but it does not quite live up to Sabers for me.

A very well written novel that unfortunately has the frustrating save system of its predecessor, in that it is impossible to restart from the last chapter without dying, and it's generally not very clear what stats certain decisions draw on to roll for success. If you thought that was an intellect roll and it was charisma, you just took a catastrophic failure. It's also very much a min-max setup for stats which makes for one dimensional playthroughs. Very well written though.
