Chivalry 2 review

Chivalry 2 is the most accessible online melee game here, but also the least concerned with realism. Torn Banner Studios calls it a multiplayer first-person slasher inspired by epic medieval movie battles, with 64-player battlefields, catapults, burning villages and castle sieges in Team Objective maps. Mounted combat lets you trample foes, kick with your horse and unhorse riders with a lance. Four base classes expand to more than 10 subclasses and over 30 weapons, and all-platform crossplay means PC players can fight alongside friends on consoles. The minimum spec is light at 8 GB of RAM and a GTX 660. It costs $39.99, more than MORDHAU, and Steam notes in-app purchases. 81% of 24,220 English Steam reviews are positive. It is multiplayer only, so there is no single-player campaign or co-op mode listed, and its film-inspired tone is a poor fit for players who want historical detail.
