Die Straßen rund um Rattay are sind alles andere als sicher, also heuert Herr Radzig Kobyla einen alten Freund an – den verarmten, aber gerissenen Herrn Kuno von Reichwaldau und seinen berühmt-berüchtigten Söldnertrupp. Radzig schickt Heinrich aus, damit er den Männern die Gegend zeigt ... und um deren unstillbaren Hunger nach Ärger im Zaum zu halten. Gemeinsam patrouillieren sie durch die Provinz und finden bald heraus, dass Radzigs Erzfeinde aus vergangenen Zeiten zurückgekehrt sind, um alte Rechnungen zu begleichen. Die zwei Trupps schenken sich nichts in ihrem schonungslosen Gefecht, das schließlich in einem unvermeidlichen Showdown gipfelt.

Komplett unspielbar. Verbuggt wie Hölle. Gleich bei der ersten Mission musste ich Baumler töten, damit sich die anderen weiter bewegen. Es gibt keinerlei Aktualisierung der Questreihe und damit auch keine Questmarkierungen. Selbst wenn man es trotzdem schaffen sollte der Story zu folgen und die Bugs zu umgehen, sollte man bei einem Kampf nur in die Richtung eines Gruppenmitglieds schlagen, werden alle feindlich. Und sieben Euro nur um sechs oder sieben Personen zu töten, die man nicht einmal looten kann? Ganz große Verarsche.

An sich ordentliche (kampflastige) Erweiterung, die mit allenfalls 2-3h Spielzeit allerdings viel zu kurz ausfällt. Zudem wird aus den eigentlich interessanten neuen Charakteren leider zu wenig gemacht- nach Abschluss der kurzen neuen Questreihe wars das. Prinzipiell also nicht viel mehr als ein kleiner neuer Sidequeststrang und daher niemals die 8€ wert, die man dafür haben will. Schade, Warhorse, aber wieso nicht ein schön fettes Addon für 30€ draufpacken, das für jeden investierten Euro auch zumindest ein Stündchen Spielzeit mitliefert?

Ich kann mich an klein-partitionierte DLC-Politik gewöhnen, dann muss aber selbst für die 8€/DLC deutlich mehr Content kommen. So ist das Ganze aber entwürdigend für das hervorragende Hauptspiel, das ja immerhin mit 60-100h Spielzeit aufwarten kann.

Ich teile die Ansichten der meisten Vorrezensenten bezüglich der Qualität. Nette Story, gute Ingame-Videos und ein paar einzigartige Gegenstände. Aber..... wie immer zu kurz mit zwei bis drei Stunden Spielzeit. Es scheint ja mittlerweile Mode zu sein, Spiele erst hinterher zu vervollständigen. Gegen teuer Geld.
Daher empfehle ich selbst Fans des Hauptspiels diesen DLC erst, wenn er mit einem guten Rabatt (25% oder mehr) versehen ist. 8 € sind für zwei Stunden Spielzeit einfach zu teuer. Keine Empfehlung von mir (leider)

Das Spielerlebnis ist wie zu erwarten war Top und Warhorse schafft es, das man sich wieder in die Story reinversetzen kann. Allerdings nur 2 Stunden lang. Dies ist leider sehr störend, sodass grade wenn die Story interessant wird sie auch schon wieder vorbei ist. Die Charaktere sind interessant, aber so schnell man sie kennen lernt, so schnell sind sie auch schon wieder unwichtig. Für 8€ habe ich mehr erwartet als eine neue Rüstung und 2 Stunden Spielerlebnis. Deshalb kann ich diese DLC leider nicht empfehlen.

(English Version below)

Das Addon war - wie alle anderen - leider wieder viel zu kurz. Nach 2,5 Stunden ging's zum Finale und dann war wieder Ende. Für den Preis von 8 Euro ist das echt wieder viel zu wenig.

Dennoch habe ich mich gefreut endlich wieder was im Questlog zu haben, weil KCD einfach ein tolles Spiel war.

Hinweis an alle, die das Addon holen: das Vermögen der Händler setzt sich zurück. Verkauft also alles was ihr nicht braucht, bevor ihr das Addon installiert.

---

The addon was - like all the others - unfortunately much too short again. After 2,5 hours it went to the final and then it was over again. For the price of 8 Euro this is really too little.

Nevertheless I was happy to finally have something in the Questlog again, because KCD was just a great game.

Note to all, who get the addon: the fortune of the dealers resets. So sell everything you don't need before you install the addon.

Combat. Lots of combat.
Also some running around and more combat.

I strongly recommend leaving this for late-game action (after the Monastery quest) when everything slows down to a crawl and you're actually good at combat.
it helps to have Speech skills at the end.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance’s (Kingdom Come) ‘Band of Bastards’ DLC is the third DLC released for Kingdom Come, and was published in February 2019.

Story and Content

In the DLC, Sir Radzig Kobyla requests Henry to assist Sir Kuno and his band of mercenaries in patrolling the province from bandits. In doing so, it introduces an intriguing backstory of Sir Radzig and Sir Kuno’s relationship and reveals an element of personal vulnerability in Sir Radzig, a new development in his character. Sir Kuno’s band has some really likeable members who thrive on value and honour, but there are some annoying characters who remind you that mercenary life is based on greed and blood, presenting a bit of juxtaposition in their motivations.

The DLC is focussed on combat and the plot is about figuring out who is causing continuous trouble in the province. Through this, it allows for some crime-like investigation by gathering clues. It also enables some really fun combat scenes that I found to be a highlight of the story. On the flipside, the DLC felt somewhat rushed and despite three hours of content, I thought there was room to expand and flesh out the story, but this nit-pick is probably because I really enjoyed the content.

Conclusion

Ultimately, Band of Bastards is a really good DLC, albeit one that was short. It provides a tight story and an intriguing backstory, whilst introduces Sir Kuno’s camp who most are likeable and honourable, while other members remind you why they are mercenaries first and foremost. For $8.50, I recommend this as a standalone purchase and in the Royal Edition.

A more in-depth review of this DLC can be found in my video review covering all the game's contents: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vxau31IPHgo

This DLC is more combat-focused, as Henry is tasked with assisting a band of mercenaries on their mission. The characters are pretty interesting, and the quests have their own twists to make them interesting, including some worthwhile choices from a narrative standpoint. Also, some of the game's biggest battles can be found here.

The only major downside is that the AI's deficiencies shine as bright as the sun on a clear sky during those battles. It's a fairly decent DLC overall, but you have been warned.

It's okay. The writing clashes with that of the rest of the game, but the DLC quests shine in the way that you have many many ways to approach them..

If Steam had a so-so option, I'd go with that, but if pressed, I'll give it a thumbs up. Only buy this is on a heavy discount.

Band of bastards is the most combat focused DLC and that is the reason I like it so much. Radzig has enlisted the help of a group of mercenaries to try and maintain order in the province, and Henry is tasked with keeping their rowdy antics in check. You get into a lot of fights and the story is pretty good. The members of the band are quite funny and memorable, each being unique in their own right, like the characters in Saving Private Ryan or other movies where each person is built around a clear archetype. The only complaint I have about this DLC is that it was too short! It took me only around 2-4 hours to complete, and I wish I could have gotten into more good fights with the merry band.

Cool quests, wish the main game had more of a dynamic that this quest has with a consistent band of soldiers. A bit annoying when there's a good chance any of them will get clowned on in combat randomly with little to influence their survival rate besides luck or cheese. I can cut down 5 men quickly before the skirmish even starts off and one guy will expertly kill kuno in a quick combo and I fail. Basically forces me to rambo the entire quest line if I want to not only enjoy the dialog but even play the dlc.

I wish I saw my own review before buying this.
As a massive KCD fan, I have to say, this DLC adds 0.3% of content to the game.
It's basically just several new quests, where you have to talk - go kill - come back - talk - go kill - come back - look around - go find - kill - come back - talk.
This was uninteresting and a waste of time for me. Women's lot (theresa's line) is 10 times more awesome

It's an interesting premise with well written characters that ends 2 hours in out of the complete blue, there is no dialogue afterwards to discuss what happened and all the characters just stand around doing absolutely nothing. It also has the problem of it making little sense in the context of the main story, these characters are off doing absolutely nothing while there is a ton of stuff going on where they'd be useful.

It's not very much content, but it's quality content. I really like the characters that this DLC brings, and it has some of the best voice acting in the game. It was honestly quite fun to play through; don't let the bad reviews fool you. You can finish it very quickly, but if you're playing on hardcore, you will most likely drag it out in between other quests, which makes it feel more immersive and embedded into the game's progression. Totally worth the time, and definitely lives up to the quality set by the main storyline.

Wonderful cheap short DLC.
The walkthrough may take from about 2 hours if you rush it all the way to five if you're playing on hardcore without fast travel.

Being a fan of Battle Brothers, I was pleased to see the dirty bloody mercenary routine that game simulates through management, tactics and flavor text depicted in detail here. The wild geese chat, joke, discuss their craft - and all the little details and phrases are very appropriate: I particulalry liked how storming a bandit camp, one of the mercs starts having hiccups which greatly distresses him as he intended to bedazzle the foes with a roar. Naturally, it causes an avalanche of witticisms from his comrades. So mundane, not intended to be comedic, just another everyday situation.

What I like about Band of Bastards a lot is how everything about it is so banale. The actions that set events into motion are banale and are basically a cruel misunderstanding, all the plot movements are banale, all the motives are banale. And when characters die, their death is banale too. It's so believable and so refreshing after flashy personalities and complex motives of other games. As opposed to this banality, the characters themselves look anything but banale. Having unique faces drawn for them (except one for some reason), they create the kind of feeling you get when you arrive to a new working place. At first they are just strangers, rough and rude and unpleasant, but as you grow to know them, you learn what strange paths have brought them here together - and also that all of them are specialists in a certain way, and none of them are idiots.

Very well done. Haven't finished the other DLCs yet, but I think I will like this one the most of them.

This is a very short and linear DLC. It is more of a glorified mini game to obtain the Zoul Armor. I would not recommend this unless you get it for free. I loved the base game but this DLC really made me rethink my opinion of Warhorse Studio.

I would like to sugest it, but I won't.

The story of the DLC could've been much more interesting than it was. It's driven by conflict between Radzig and an old enemy of his, but Radzig hardly has any role in the DLC, and his old enemy only appears at the very end of the DLC. Instead the story mainly focuses on this merry band of mercenaries. The mercenaries are fine as characters, but they are so unrelated to the game that you just don't really care. The leader of the band is interesting enough, and Radzig basically abusing his debt of gratitude that results in his betrayal in the end was an unexpected. I also respect how the betrayal was handled. Radzig certainly hadn't been very generous to him, and his betrayal wasn't really personal with Henry. He wasn't made an antagonist, he just took a bribe and left.

The missions are also nothing to really get amazed by. It brings nothing new to the table. You get an investigation, a wild goose chase, a simple battle and the climax consists only of some dialogue and a duel. The missions almost felt like they recycled parts of the Neuhoff raid and the aftermath, with you having to investigate a crime scene, and later track down a man, and other than that, they are just battles. In short, the missions are pretty lame.

To capsulize, the DLC has uninventive and uninteresting missions. The story had potential that wasn't really used. The reason I got this DLC is because I knew that you can get a sweet looking armour set, especially a sweet looking hounskull bascinet after the final mission. I got this discounted for 2€, and it was worth it for just the armour set. I enjoyd the DLC more than I didn't, but most of my enjoyment came from the dialogue at the very start and the very end of the DLC, and also the new armour set it adds.

Not worth 6€, but if you can get it cheap, you might aswell. It's not repulsive, it's a fun enough rump and you get a sweet armour set from it.

Yeah, the bad reviews are more true than the good ones. It's quite honestly 5 different quests you fast travel for. Theres a few faults, because if Kuno dies (and he dies REALLY fast), you gotta restart the mission, so you're playing babysitter for 3/5 of the quests. It'll take you 30-45 minutes if you're avoiding the achievements. Otherwise, can be a good 2 hours trying to nab the 7 very easy to obtain achievements in this DLC. (Which I would recommend looking at a guide, otherwise you'll miss 5 of them)

Had this been for 1/2 the price it's listed, great buy; However, its going to piss off the casual player more than please him.

A short but otherwise very enjoyable DLC. This band of mercenaries consists of a bunch of ridiculous people and you grow to love them the more time you spend with them. I wish the DLC is longer because it's really fun while it lasted. Condering that it is only CDN $8 I think the content is worth it.

Band of Bastards makes no effort to subvert the tropes it heavily leans into. A crew of misfits brought together by happenstance, each with their own peculiar tale of how they joined and no more depth than their quirky appearances. And that’s fine. The tale told is just okay, amusing, but simply okay. The strength of the writing instead comes from the banter between these unlikely comrades.

Where the DLC falters is the scripting of its quests and the lack of options. At a few stages I was confounded and detached from the illusion the game otherwise establishes, such as the entire band suddenly disappearing from an outing and no dialogue taking place to acknowledge the players actions, giving the feeling that a whole segment of events had been skipped as the quest then progresses normally.

This DLC came out over 1.5 years ago and they still haven't bothered fixing any of the egregious, game-breaking bugs. I ran into many bugs throughout the DLC, but the final battle sent me way over the edge to give this one a firm thumbs down. I have 20 str, 20 defense, 14 agility, and 17 main level. Yet my side loses an 'even fight' 99% of the time. Several of my fellow soldiers are bugged and start out unarmed. The only way I've been able to beat it once was by rushing the enemy line to 'tank' the entire enemy side. I was happy I finally won (with the main quest person was intact). So of course, I tried to loot the corpses... To add insult to injury all my teammates immediately turned on me, killing me, because I looted the wrong side's corpse that was wearing similar armor to the other (all mercenaries). I just looted the first corpse I found wearing black armor since the entire enemy side looked like that. Also, because this studio is incompetent, there was no auto-save after I won the battle, so I'm stuck reloading this 100 more times until the fates finally smile on me. All Warhorse had to do was go back and remove like 2 enemies, not have 2 - 3 people start disarmed, and not have my team fight like unarmored peasants, yet they're too busy making steam promotional videos and not giving a F to do that. What a second rate game studio.

This DLC was quite a fun story to play. There's some interesting new characters who you work with, and it's neat to be part of a band of mercenaries, even if it's short lived. The helmet from the final boss is so far the strongest helmet I've found, and it looks pretty sick. The small bit of added lore is pretty neat and just adds more depth to Sir Radzig's past.

The only drawback of this was that I finished the whole DLC story in just a little over 3 hours. Pretty short, but still fun.
Maybe wait for a sale, if there are sales for this game's DLC? I'm not sure if it's worth $7 exactly, but definitely would be worth $3-5.

Overall Score: 7/10

It is a bit annoying when you have these characters, meaning to be the best mercenary band around and they all die in the second mission within 30secs leaving me to fend against 8 people by myself and ultimately stopping the storyline altogether. I do not see why i should be playing bodyguard or nursemaid to a reputable fighter when he gets downed in two seconds.

Well, I really want to recommend this DLC wholeheartedly, but I can't. The problem is it's one half brilliant and one half atrocious. When I started the DLC I was overwhelmed by the amount of backstory and lore that they put in it. This wasn't just some randomly generated quest about a spoiled heir apparent, some left over assets, or fellow war survivors. Instead the game builds up with a whole range of new NPC's with their own backstory's that are situated in the historical game world. The first hour or so I was thrilled with the possibilities of character development of this motley crew and as a result I spend quite some time walking around camp and mingling with the companions.

That feeling of depth, however, quickly dissipated once I started doing the missions proper. The first mission was enjoyable—even though your control over the band is non-existent—and completing it seemed to develop your relation with the company further. During your second mission you seem to make some meaningful choices for your relation with the company... However, as soon as you get back to camp it turns out your did nothing that matters at all. From this point forward no meaningful development with the Band of Bastards occurs. Your choices simply do not matter—at all!

That is a shame, because the backstory (short as it is), provides ample opportunity to make your choices matter. Certain developments later in the DLC could easily be made contingent upon your choices in earlier missions and in camp. It doesn't help either that every speech or charisma check is laughably simple. As a result you never feel like you're in control and you simply follow the inevitable path laid out by the programmers. A path that is pretty short, mind you, and leads to (almost) the same ending regardless how you acted.

And that's another criticism. The DLC proper is short. Very short. Once you've extinguished the dialogue options and the side-activities (which takes about an hour or an hour-and-a-half), all you can do is go on missions. And back-to-back they take you about 2 hours to complete. Most of them consist of cutscenes, which—although generally beautifully orchestrated—deprive you as a player of any meaningful agency. At most you get to make a speech check after the cutscene to determine one out of two possible ways to progress the quest.

In other ways the DLC fails to deliver similarly. It would've been nice to give the player at least some control on how to use the company. Perhaps by hiring some of them as a henchman to take on a mission. Or perhaps by providing a radiant quest in which you can take the company on patrol yourself. While this might be hard to implement, and possible break several things in-game, it would've given the player so much more sense of purpose.

Instead, as it stands, we get possibly one of the best thought-out DLC's for Kingdom Come lore-wise, but gameplay-wise the DLC falls short. It's not bad, and during replays I will definitely return to Sir Kuno and his band of slightly-elevated footpads. However, it is a shame to see so much potential wasted. With some different design choices (and possibly more time in development) this DLC could've truly been great.

I have to say I loved this DLC .
It mainly focuses on truth and honesty. Loyalty in a team.
This group is a bunch of really nice guys. Good fighting scenes and well written.
Has normal male type joke telling and humour round the camp fire.
I kind of bonded with them so it was sad it ended. I want more. :)
Really good atmosphere.
Recomended definately.
Tip dont do it in a hurry.

It's a nice addition to the base game, adding around 5 missions which will take you around 2-3 hours to complete. This DLC is mainly focused on combat, so if you don't like that part you might want to skip this one.

If you love the base game, you'll definitely love this DLC. The only con I can give basically is that 2-3 hours of KCD for me feels like 10 minutes.

I'd recommend you getting this DLC. Not only are you getting more KCD content but you're also supporting the developers!

if you're going to make a DLC and make us pay for it, at least make sure its not the most broken thing I've ever seen.

Firstly on one of the missions Jakey is invisible tied to a tree, took me a good 20 minutes to figure out, secondly the leader of the company only fights with his fists and lastly at the battle with the Zoul guy, at the end of the battle the company always keeps turning on me for some reason and tries to kill me.

I can't recommend this, though it's only 7 bucks so maybe buy it just to add for the hell of it or buy it at half price. There's just very little content here. It's just a few patrol missions (5 if I remember correctly) which are basically 8 guys raiding bandit camps, plus one mission to look for someone. One ended in a big outnumbered fight which was cool. All the content is finished in 3 hours or less. The new NPC's don't have a lot of voice acting, basically the first time you talk to them is the extent of the conversations except for the leader. The end fight was anti climatic and the new armor didn't have as much AC as the armor I got from the vanilla game. Ironically I bought the expansion to get the armor thinking it would be an upgrade. The one good thing is the merc camp persists after you finish the expansion, so you get another bed, but there's no fast travel spot which is dumb.

A nice story, but unfortunately not very long. The focus is especially on fights, there are not many or even heavy puzzles with different solutions. Unfortunately, the characters stay very flat. The characters remain very flat. There would have been much more possible, too bad.

Would I recommend the DLC? It's probably not worth individually. In a bundle with the Royale Edition it is an interesting side story that, unlike the rest of the game, puts the focus more on fights then on puzzles.

Pros:
+ Interesting side story
+ New Characters
+ No bugs noticed

Cons:
- Playing time short
- Characters superficial

I'm really enjoying this DLC. That said, I enjoyed the others, too, and many players correctly pointed out the Hans Capon and From the Ashes DLCs were extremely short and didn't contribute that much content.
Band of Bastards, however, functions as a long side mission which is very close to the main storyline, similar to the Dark Brotherhood questline from Elder Scrolls, or pretty much any side mission from Witcher. Your liege Sir Radzig has enlisted an old friend, an expat noble and his band of hired mercenaries, to help rid Bohemia of the many highwaymen plaguing the roadways and countrysides. There is also another, older nemesis...
You function as their guide, which introduces an interesting game mechanic that I highly recommend you explore for yourself.
The new armor set is a fine addition, the characters are interesting, and there are brand new battles/showdowns with around twenty combatants (it feels like a lot more when you're in it). I love the way battles are handled in this game.
Of course, there are a few quest bugs, but this time you'll have to genuinely go out of your way to attempt triggering them.
If you're avoiding this DLC because you felt like the others were too expensive and didn't give you very much, this is entirely a different situation.
