Each class has three subclasses that you can unlock by playing and levelling up that class. Players can choose to play as one of four classes in Chivalry 2 – knight, footman or vanguard for melee combat, and the fourth class is the archer. The developers do describe the combat as an extension of your body, and I did find myself moving in my chair as I swung at the enemy and dodged incoming blows. I could hear the Billy Maddison quote, “it’s all in the hips” in my ear as I tried. I say should because I got stuck on that tutorial section for a few minutes. If you click the left mouse button and then move the mouse in a direction, you character should swing in the direction you moved the mouse. The tutorial does a good job of teaching you the mechanics. It is quite difficult to accurately swing and drag your weapon when you are in the thick of it. There is also friendly team fire, and I reckon I have contributed to many a teammate’s death by swinging my weapon the wrong direction. It is a fully immersive experience, and I can only imagine how terrifying it would be as a VR game. The sound design is incredible with heavy weapons sounding different to the smaller one-handed variants, and the clang of steel against steel, or the thonk of an arrow as it lands in the wood beside you. At the same time, you need to be aware of what is behind you, and listen to the woosh of a heavy weapon or the zing of an arrow as it passes your ear. You are feverishly attacking the enemy faction using horizontal and vertical slashes and stabs with weapons ranging from swords, axes and maces to large two-handed spears and hammers. ![]() The developers took inspiration for Chivlary 2 from epic medieval movie battles, and I can see where they are coming from, especially when you are in first-person view. With OCE servers too, our pings are nice and low so playing with 40-50 ping is a whole lot better than the 200-300 we’re used to in other games to US servers. It is all out brawling warfare and honestly, it’s so much bloody fun, and boy is it bloody. ![]() ![]() There is plenty of variety in the game’s eight maps with three deathmatch maps taking about 8-10 minutes to complete, versus the five huge team objective maps that take 30-40 minutes or longer to battle it out in multiple map phases. After playing the beta at the end of May, I was super excited for launch and I am having a blast and two new maps were added for launch – Fighting Pit and Escape from Falmire.Ĭhivalry 2’s main game mode pits up to 64 players split into two teams, the blue and gold Agatha Knights and the red and black Mason Order, in multiple game modes as you try to survive against clashing swords, storms of flaming arrows and sprawling castle sieges. Whilst the developers describe the game as a first person slasher, given majority of the combat in the game is done with melee weapons, it can also be played in third person view. I am wishing I had played it now because I am really enjoying Chivalry 2, especially partied up with a mate. I never played the first game, though did pick it up in a previous Steam sale at some point. It released on Jon PC, PlayStation and Xbox, and is a sequel to 2012’s Chivalry: Medieval Warefare. Chivalry 2 is an action multiplayer FPS first person slasher game by Torn Banner Studios and published by Tripwire Studios.
