MORDHAU review

MORDHAU is the stronger pick of the two online melee games for players who care about believable fights. Triternion describes a medieval first and third-person multiplayer slasher set in a fictional but realistic world, and says it strikes a balance between gameplay and realism. Battles run up to 64 players in modes such as Frontline and Invasion, with cavalry charges, ladder fights and siege engines such as the catapult and ballista. You can build weapons from parts and choose individual armor pieces, and gore can be turned off. Unlike Chivalry 2, it also offers a cooperative Horde mode and offline practice against AI. It costs $29.99, and 81% of 58,996 English Steam reviews are positive, though recent sentiment is weaker: 61% of 70 English reviews in the last 30 days were positive. It needs a broadband connection and 40 GB of storage, and Steam lists only partial controller support.
