HavenĀ“t tried M&B but it looks ok.
The combat system in M&B is cool, although not as good as Lugaru. The ranged combat works great, and the bows feel very different from the guns you usually see in games. Horses were also handled very well, IMO. A good horse will cost a ridiculous amount of money, but will also devastate many opponents.
It's also much better than the screenshots imply. Those looked to be from some weird mods, probably something Star Wars-ish and then a cave man survival mod or something.

Regarding Lugaru, you do know about the sequel that's currently in early alpha? Small team, big plans.
