2404.org has a preview of Burut's Hard to be a God. Unfortunately, the short article spends a lot of time on graphics and sound, leaving little in terms of digging into the actual gameplay:
More information.When you leave the walls of the first castle where the game begins, you soon realize that almost everything and everyone are out to get you in the forests and on the empty roads.

Having a horse really improves the situation because you can easily outrun opponents and then just swoop in on the attack.
