![]() ![]() Is this a fighting game? The really decent tutorial acknowledges the similarities, and some of the basic 101s of a fighting game carries over. Knowing that leads to some of the advanced techniques requiring finesse in camera control. And you’ll need to be aware that the hitbox is exactly on the weapon. You can block and punish blocks with a good kick. You can alter the direction of attack for some weapons with a direction input.

You are one of the soldiers in a 40-player or 64-player PvP match, fighting for the side you’re on. ![]() GameplayĬhivalry 2 is a never-ending war between the Kingdom of Agatha (the blue team) and the Mason Order (the red team). Not as much variety when compared to what’s offered for male characters, but they’re of the same quality. If you are not a fan of the sillyness, there are other more serious voices you can have for your character. And will scream out loud proud that he’s fighting “for that guy we like”. ![]() And he’s the only guy that’ll tell off why is everyone is screaming non-stop. He’s your average peasant Joe that’s also self-aware and sometimes break the fourth wall. You’ll either be sold (or turned off) by the default starting voice available for your character: Squire Boy. In a map where one side is raiding and destroying a village, one of the peasants remark how convenient that all the women and children are off to a picnic. The voice lines you hear, either spammed by players, yourself, or the occasional NPCs you’ll encounter in some maps, are just stupid fun. But I did not expect them try and pull a Monty Python as well. Outside of the one usual quirk of an Unreal Engine 4 game where textures are slightly slow to load, Chivarly 2 looks fantastic.Ĭhivalry 2 wants to capture the feel of a Game Of Thrones battle, which I reckon they did get close. When most of the time you’ll be charging forward and striking enemies, Chivalry 2 successfully sells that fantasy of being one little pawn on an enourmous battlefield.Īt it’s best, it’s utter chaos with blood, fire and screaming overwhelming the orchestral chorus that appears in the most crucial moments of a match. You can look at the right places to see just a bit of jank that reminds you that it’s still a video game. The clinging of swords and the slashing of flash sounds evokes the right emotions when heard.Īnd the ridiculous amount of voice lines for your character, that will for the most part just be boiled down to a choir of screaming men and women, charging to their eventual death, only to respawn again in the next wave.Ĭhivalry 2 looks spectacularly polished. The armours of soldiers look battered, grimy and used. The locale you are fighting in all look believable. And you would be surprised that it’s not priced as such. The look and sound of Chivalry 2 has the feel of a AAA game production. A well-realised vision of chaotic war in the Middle Ages is executed with strong mechanics, ridiculous blood and gore, with just the right amount of snark and humour to round it all off. But Chivalry 2 is the studio’s return to form. Their last game, Mirage: Arcane Warfare didn’t do too hot. Torn Banner has released Chivalry 2, the sequel to the mod-turned-full-game Chivalry: Medieval Warfare. Though they have low health, they have high damage and maneuverability, meaning they can bring terror when outflanking the enemy.There’s a strong genre niche for first-person medieval warfare that I have been sleeping on. Finally, Vanguards are akin to shock troopers. Its subclasses make it suitable for mid-range positions, like having the longest melee range or being able to build (and easily destroy) barricades. Archers are best in a support role at the rear of a battle, firing arrows at enemy units from afar to thin their numbers.įootmen are similar to knights, but though they have less armor and health, with increased speed to compensate. While they are fast and nimble, they also have the lowest amount of health, making them poorly-suited for any melee combat. Archers are, unsurprisingly, best at long-range play. However, their cooldown for dodging is twice as long. Their three subclasses make them surprisingly versatile, though it's best to use them as frontline infantrymen. As for the classes themselves, Knights have the most health and armor, and they can deal a lot of damage. ![]()
