Still, this is a battle that will be waged less on spamming attacks and more on timing, or at least you would think it would be at a high level of play. This game isn’t going for perfect 1 to 1 realism, there have been concessions made in order to facilitate gameplay. And in commitment to some level of realism, it’s sluggish and slow to convey the weight, but hey, at least everyone else is just as slow as you are. Sure there are bows and arrows to use a little, but make no mistake, the sword and shield are the primary weapons here. The big difference is that this is a game that is primarily focused on melee combat thanks in no small part to the medieval setting that we are placed in. Deathmatches, point defense, payload, the whole works. It’s your typical competitive online fare. It is a simple life and the best we can do is hope that we will not die easily at the hands of our enemies.Īll that being said, death is something that comes fairly easily in this game because you’re going to be pitted against other players in a variety of game modes that are going to require that you kill each other a lot to either accomplish a goal or defend something. Perhaps we should look at this as an experience to really roleplay what it’s like to be a peasant, ignorant of all the games of politics that the lords play and merely pledging ourselves to service in the hopes we will be kept housed and fed. That’s it and that’s about all you can expect besides little elements of worldbuilding thrown into some of the levels that you’ll be playing in. There’s an option to look at the story in text form in game and it’s just two very short paragraphs that establish the time period and tell you to be a very good soldier in service to the king. To Battle!

So when Chivalry II review was dropped in my lap, I wasn’t going to run away from it. Still, it doesn’t mean that I am not willing to at least give one of these games a shot when I get the chance to review it. Most of that comes down to PvP competition just not being one of the game types I am into, but there are other elements such as pay-to-win mechanics or toxic environments driving me away. I tend to stay away from online games a lot of the time, though there are a few exceptions.
