One map culminates with one player being designated the heir and the attackers having to cut him down. Unfortunately, a couple suffer some imbalanced tasks either in favour of the attacking or defensive side. The maps are generally well designed and structured, with particular highlights being castle sieges which include battles across bottle-necked bridges and multiple defensive barricades. The overarching task you’re given is merely an excuse to mash two opposing massive forces against each other and provide a backdrop to the carnage that ensues. The game is unapologetically simple in its approach, but its execution is very well handled.

Kill/defend this prisoner/heir/important whoever. Attack/hold this gatehouse/square/position. Push/prevent the siege towers/ramps/rams moving forward. The objectives themselves are nothing particularly special or revolutionary. The defenders simply have to outlast the timer and hold their assailants at bay long enough to survive. Each objective the attacking side completes will move the match to the next objective, culminating in an epic final stand. Akin to Battlefield’s conquest mode, one side will be allocated defensive roles, with the attackers tasked with overrunning their positions.

Both 64 and 40 player modes offer a mix of objective progression matches with team deathmatches. There are 3 main game modes – 64 or 40 player team modes, or free-for-all. Indeed, online is where Chivalry 2 shines and was designed to be played.

While it does offer an offline bot mode, the AI “challenge” presented is negligible and they can be slaughtered without any bother. It may have some rough edges and be relatively light on content at present, but I simply found it impossible not to enjoy myself and get lost in the hilarity of the moments I experienced while playing it.Ĭhivalry 2 is a multiplayer focused medieval combat game which can be played either in 1st or 3rd person. However, as my friend explained as we launched each other from the catapult onto our opponents castle walls – Chivalry 2 is the epitome of an epic video game LARP experience. If you’re looking for a pure realistic medieval sim, you may be disappointed. A celebration of medieval combat that endeavours to not only recreate olden age warfare, but to make it genuinely fun to play. Chivalry 2 is a game idea condensed into its purest form.
