Either way you’re guaranteed a good time. What I appreciate the most is that you can either casually pick up and play, swinging your blade mindlessly until you inevitably get a few kills under your belt, or you can build upon your craftsmanship and progressively advance your skill level over time to outwit anybody you come across on the battlefield. It fully commits to the medieval period with a surprising number of historical weapons and crafty instruments that you can use in battle. After gaining levels in the global rank and a certain fighting class, you can buy new customisations such as helmets, heraldry, and weapons skins.Ĭhivalry 2 is a great team-based multiplayer game. Within each class, there are four subclasses available that have their own distinctive weapons and gameplay features.
There are four classes to choose from: Archer, Vanguard, Footman, and Knight. If you’re attacking, you’ll have to charge through towns, castles and the countryside to either liberate prisoners or eliminate the opposing army’s heir to the throne, but if you’re defending, you’ll use the environments to your advantage, such as castle walls and catapults. Saying this, Team Objective was without a doubt my favourite mode as it captured the atmosphere of a full-on castle siege. Team Deathmatch and Free-For-All matches were a complete bloodbath but so much fun to play. The game features several game modes that support a maximum of 64 players in a match. You can also pick up objects around the map to kill soldiers in dozens of interesting and bizarre ways, like using a decapitated head as a weapon, or throwing a live chicken at the enemy. The fact four of the seven soldiers were on my team is something we should all overlook it’s the number of kills that matters, right? For instance, I used a catapult to fling projectiles, killing seven soldiers with one single blow. You can also use various long-ranged historical contraptions to attack soldiers from afar, too. If you prefer fighting from afar, you can opt for yourself to fight with long-ranged weapons such as a longbow or a crossbow. If you really end up in a pickle with too many soldiers bombarding you all at once, you can always dash to avoid incoming attacks along with performing a parry when needed. I rarely performed blocking moves as my philosophy on the battlefield is the best defence is a good offence, so the hacking and smashing like a medieval barbarian was my style of choice. However, the only drawback of this is it drains your stamina, so to embrace the tactful soldier in the art of war truly, you’ll have to block only when necessary. When attacking is not possible, you can perform a blocking action to stop incoming aggression. One time, I sliced through an enemy soldier and one of my own allies at the same time.
Although, if you swing too frantically, you’ll run the risk of cutting up your own guys – this happened to me far more often than I would like to admit. Timing is key and learning when to swing your weapon will definitely help you land more blows. You can execute three main moves, and these can be chained in a sequence to make a lethal combo. You’ll have to manoeuvre yourself across the battlefield and slaughter the opposing army to achieve certain desired goals.
