Control response is such that I never felt like I had a chance when closing with the enemy. But the comradie that took place through some of the game sessions is what the real draw is here.įight wise and control wise… I constantly felt like it was a huge struggle just to get any kind of result in my attacks or even my defenses. At one time I was cut down by an opponent insult to injury… well insult to death… my severed head fell between body’s legs… how awkward that was. Many of the sessions had their moments and it was more along the lines of the players that made things that much more fun. While the combat feels more chaotic than strategic… a group of organized players can make the experience a lot more appetizing than the simple run of the mill death match and team death match. Another game… not so well and the enemy broke the doors down and we had to retreat to the throne chamber and defend the now designated King on the team. So on we went fighting our way back to the castle… then defending the castle was now the goal. Our goals where to beat back the attack, cut down the invaders and save the villagers and their village… we lost too many villagers, so the call to fall back to the castle went out. For instance, in one game I was on what could be considered the defending side… right off the bat, the other teams goal was to burn the peasant village and attack the villagers. One of the things I kind of liked actually was the progression of the battles. I know I was cut down more than once by players who had been on my team many times. Even with some of its oddities such as its less than last gen graphics where I myself had a heck of a time really telling one side from the other so I am sure I hit a few of my allies in my swinging of computer simulated steel. However, if you know what you are getting into ahead of time, you may actually tolerate and even enjoy some of the aspects of the game. While Chivalry: Medieval Warfare does not have any story to speak of either… it was nonetheless a nice change from the run and gun games. On that note, the game has the promise of a breath of fresh air in the game market which is saturated with shooters that have little to no real goals or story to them. Soon after this, it’s nothing but online multiplayer. The only single player offerings in Chivalry: Medieval Warfare is the tutorial. The tutorial while feeling painfully hap hazard has its shining moments long after learning about hacking, slashing, angled attacks and thrusts… wonderfully there is a moment after the initial tutorial where the player is soon attacked and must decide to either stay as a Knight of Agatha, or join the Mason Order. If you as a player enjoy a games single player aspects, then you may end up passing this one by. This is one epic battle that you would not want to miss.Chivalry: Medieval Warfare is played in first person mode that is set in a medieval world based more in fiction film where everything may not be as accurate as real history… but it does attempt to deliver intense combat with nothing but a fist full of steel and honor, or the not so honorable steel. Jumping into this multi-player realm, the player will end up joining either the Agathian Knights or The Mason Order, all fighting to control the lands of Agatha. This game plays out like a first-person-shooter but instead of using guns you will be using medieval weaponry. They are the heaviest of them all, they use two handed weapons and are the slowest of all the classes but has the best defense of them all. The vanguards are the ones that use midrange weapons like poles and great swords, to use them you have to gain quite a bit of distance from the enemy then make a sprinting attack towards your foe. They are quite nimble and have great defense because of their speed. Next in the classes are the Man-at-Arms, this class uses a melee weapon in one hand and a shield in the other. They do come equipped with a short sword or dagger but could only use it when necessary. They are barely equipped with armor and is not quite effective in close range fights. The archer specializes in long range attacks using bows and arrows. The four classes consists of first, the Archer. Each class will have a different set of skills and choices of weaponry. You have to pick which side you will be playing as well as the four character classes that are you will fight with. Both factions are trying their best to gain control of the whole nation. It has been divided into two factions: the Agathian Knighs and the Mason Order. A once beautiful nation destroyed by civil war.
