[PC] Chivalry: Medieval Warfare

[Len B]

Pretty refreshing idea. Along the lines of Counterstrike/Day of Defeat, you basically just go around using an axe/sword/bow and behead people and fight to the death. Anyone else try this yet?

I haven't tried it, but I'm not exactly sure I'd call it refreshing. This was proceeded by Mount & Blade (which I really liked) and War of the Roses (which I also haven't played). From what I've seen of all 3, they are very, very similar. This medieval combat thing is catching on quick with the indie-ish crowd, it seems.

I should say, the concept is refreshing, I agree with you there. Just this game itself is kind of iterative.

[Len B]

Yeah, overall just a different style that these games bring.

Just tried my first 12v12, so fucking awesome. Even after you die watching the battles is cool.

I might check it out, always wanted to see more map combat games without guns appear.

KG, if you've never been to GiantBomb, head over there. They do a very nice break down of both War of the Roses and Chivalry (I think they did Chivalry at least).

It's fucking cool, and brutal and hard. Right up your alley.

Is this a free-mium game along the lines of World of Tanks? I'm not a big fan of these types of games, especially where you die and that's it, and where you have to buy different stuff in-game to upgrade out of the entry level equipment.

[Len B]

No, it costs $25 to actually purchase. Think you level up as you go, haven't played it too much.


Last night was fun, entered an arena level where I hear 'GLADIATORS TO THE GATES', and then the gates proceed to open. It's me and 13 other players vs. the other 14, as we enter a gladiator battle arena and fight to the death as a crowd watches.

Chiv looks redonkulus. I'll be getting er real soon. War of the Roses didn't impress.

May check this out, I'be been looking for a good PC game to play with my friends on the PC to just skype and have a good time.

this game is cool. combat is violent and so, so satisfying. when you get your head mashed off it's fucking jokes.

like the control scheme, a bit hard at first because it's unique, but i do like it.

[killgod]

anyone besides Len and I playing?

We're crack addicted right meow.

len check this before we play again, definitely explains a few details that'll help (notably how you can drag your attack out wide to beat a parry, explains how some vanguards can rape)
