  The old king is finally able to take his last breath as his heir apparent is finally able to take up the throne. Bless this game, Mordhau time.

  Chivalry...where do I start? When I first heard about the game in late 2012, I knew I'd be hooked. Unfortunately, my computer couldn't run it at the time. Flash forward to when I had a new computer come May/June of 2013, and I was having the time of my life! Foolhardy, yet visceral combat, amazing voiceovers, and the most in-depth melee combat I had ever seen at the time...it was remarkable. The combat was very in-depth, yet nobody was quite above anyone else at the time. Timing and footing was everything. My goal as a player at the time was to reach level twenty, and unlock all veteran helmets for each of the four classes. (Keep in mind that there was zero customization at this point in time, apart from switching from default to veteran helmets, which didn't work half of the time) Come July, I had slaved a hundred hours or more to unlock the four helmets. I couldn't have felt more proud of myself. Then in the next two or so months, they added proper character customization, and snazzy shiny helmets as well. It was amazing to see different colors on the battlefield rather than the old red and blue. I can remember the first time seeing a level 50 player with a golden helmet. A vanguard walking ever so slowly towards me, as if to initiate a duel. I felt pumped, knowing that this battle would be drawn out as I see what endurance and good footing this foe has to- ...d-did....did he just kill me by landing an overhead while not even looking at me? That must be some glitch that people might've just discovered. I'm sure they'll patch it out soon. Besides, the Deadliest Warrior expansion is coming out soon! (Circa October 2013) So I played the expansion for a couple months, until I got bored and returned to the original game come 2014. I was sure that the glitch the gold-helmet vanguard used had been since patched, so I dove right in... ...only to see the reverse overheads, extreme dragging/acceleration, and spinning again, with it becoming more frequently used through the year. Keep in mind that despite me starting to play the game more than five years ago and having ~1,200 hours, I'm nowhere near a master at the game. A slightly below average novice at best. The way I learned how to play has rendered me too rigid to change. Newer players coming in either take up the new drag/spin tactics, or give up much sooner than they would have a year prior. You may just say that I'd need to "get gud" and such, and indeed I tried, time and time again. While I could use *some* forms of dragging/acceleration, everything else was and still is alien to me. But alas, I kept playing, increasingly less frequent due to finding more new games to occupy my attention. I'd find myself revisiting Chivalry time and time again. But every time, there was less drive for me. I could feel myself become more jaded with every gap between when I played. I began seeing many more level 50+ players. Then the first level 60's started popping up. The exploits become the way of the game, anyone trying to learn the old ways and play the game as they learned in the tutorial would be obliterated, and my skill continued to be stagnant. Weeks of not playing the game turned into months, only playing for about a week before uninstalling the game again. Come late 2016, I had had enough. The long bouts of radio silence from the developers regarding Chivalry ever since Mirage was announced made me lose faith in them doing anything to fix things on their own. The skill gap growing as large as the Grand Canyon made me lose faith in anyone new coming to the game staying any longer than it takes to level out of the low rank servers. The toxicity of the countless level 50+ & 60+ (and sometimes even higher) players shunning those who were a lot more vocal in their complaints than me, and were totally complicit with the current state of the broken combat made me lose faith in the community. By the end of the year, I would begin my longest gap in playing, around seven or eight months. Over the course of 2017 and 2018, I'd occasionally reinstall Chivalry to give it another try... But it was all the same. Same jaded experience, same good as mute developers, same unforgiving community. I no longer had the same strength to witstand it all. Singular weeks of having the game installed and playing it turned to days. Days turned to hours. Hours turned to minutes. And as I write this, I just finished my most recent bout of my lingering addiction for Medieval Carnage. My lowest amount of playtime yet. Barely even an hour. Now, I have truly given up. As I wait for Mordhau, which I have followed the developent of since it was simply called "Slasher" and considered a tech demo, I can't help but look back at Chivalry with a mixture of emotions. Maybe it's why I've been coming back for more for all these years. Yearning for a new first-person-slasher, and returning to this game since it is the only one that can scratch my itch for melee combat. I feel excited for Mordhau, being hit with waves of nostalgia from 2012 and 2013 during the golden age of Chivalry. I hate to see the game in the state that it's in, and having a spiritual successor inevitably seal its fate. But at the same time, I'm happy to see a new game in the niche first-person-slasher genre arise with features Chivalry players only could have dreampt of. I'm angry at the developers leaving their game in the shape it is in now, but at the same time I'm glad that they made it in the first place. I hope history does not repeat itself with Mordhau; Well... it's negative points in history, anyways. And now...with concurrent players barely reaching 500 on a good day, no sign of any developer feedback, and exploting charlatans having surpassed rank 80 in some cases... I believe it is time for the old, tired, and battered warrior known as Chivalry to die a quiet, peaceful death. It may be the way of the warrior to die in battle, amidst conflict and suffering; But this game's history has shown it has seen well enough of it already. A soft end is well deserved. After more than half a decade of fun, fighting, and folley... I bid thee farewell, old friend Chivalry: Medieval Warfare. Rest well. Rest proud.

  I loved this game back in it's heyday, and I still occasionally come back to it. That being said, the community these days abuses the mechanics to an absurd degree, the developers have stopped supporting this game, and now multiple graphical and gameplay glitches are present within the game. With Mordhau out and much better supported, just buy that.

  There was a time where I could really recommend this game 100%. But not anymore. As time has passed more people got good at the game resulting in a lot of higher ranked players. Now you might think that that's a good thing. Well no, in this community it isn't. Instead of good players playing against each other you have 90% of highranks (45+) playing in team objective servers and rank stacking on the same team (usually attack side). So basically instead of having balanced fun matches most high ranked players purposefully join the team with more highranks which ends up in very unbalanced teams and an almost guaranteed win for the stacked team. You really only need to look at the rank distribution at the start of a match and you can predict which team wins with 99% certainty. Not only is it unfair for the players on the other team but it makes matches just overall very boring. As someone who reached rank 50 I either join the stack and will not be challenged at all (imagine a pro soccer player playing against a 5 year old) or I join the other team and stand no chance at all. It has been like this for quite a while but it's reached it's peak lately where you really have to search hard for a server where this doesn't happen every match. Sometimes I don't find such a server and end up not playing at all because of it. The game has a lot of little flaws but in my opinion it's the community who in the end really ruins it. They call it a skill-based game but there is no skill involved in unbalancing teams as much as possible and winning without effort. In fact a lot of people who think that they are particularly good only think so because they simply stack all the time. The only way to enjoy this game nowadays is if you like to play in a clan. If you are into that I can recommend it even though I'm not a huge fan of clans. Otherwise you can only join the stacking or lose nearly every match if you don't. I dont enjoy either of it and therefor this review.

  I don't think I've ever had so much fun being dismembered before. Focusing far more on action and fun than on realism, Chivalry is quite possibly my favorite multiplayer game of the last year. Easy to pick up, harder to master, and with an actual reward system in place for honing your skills, Chivalry is perfect for both the casual and hardcore gamer alike. Feel like having some crazy arene combat for 15 minutes before you leave for work? This game is right for you. Want to be up all night, storming the castle in a way that requires teamwork? This game is right for you. Want to prove you're the best to ever wield a sword, pike, axe, or bow and have all bow before you? This game is right for you. It isn't without its flaws, but there really is no other game that can provide you with an experience like this. Pick it up....you won't regret it.

  [h1]This Review[/h1] (TL;DR at bottom) So, I'm beginning this review to help potential buyers decide whether they want this game. This review will track my progress as I log more and more hours into the game as it stands (as per this edit) I'm at [b]23 hours[/b], that's just under one full day of gaming. At the end of this review, I'll try to break down pro's and con's of the game and look a little more in-depth at what the game has to offer. [b]Level 1[/b] Starting the game, you'll notice the lack of single-player options - and right you are. This game is based around purely multiplayer midieval combat. So lets start our first game. Picking a server is easy at a lower level, those highlighted in green are [i]low-rank[/i] servers, that means players level 0 to 15. These servers generally have a high population, and cycle through the game modes. When you (or I, in this case) pick a server, you'll be able to see the current gamemode as well as current/limit players. I started with a low-pop Team Deathmatch game with 16 total players. When I hopped into the game, it was about halfway through, and as the teams were even, I got to pick a side (Agatha Knights or Mason Order). Now, these teams don't really matter all that much later on, no one will shun you for picking one over the other, but in my case I chose the Mason Order (Favorite color is Red). From there, there are four different classes. [b]Classes[/b] [list] [*]Archer - Light, ranged troops. Beginner weapons are Longbow, Dagger, Crossbow, and Javelin (with optional sheild) [*]Man at Arms - Light, fast troops with low armor. Beginner weapons are Sword, Axe, Mace, and Quarter Staff. (Can also dodge) [*]Vanguard - Heavy armored troops with increadable damage and reach, beginner weapons are Greatsword, Poleaxe, Spear, and Hammer. (Can perform a charge attack) [*]Knight - Tank character with increadable armor, but slow moving. Beginner weapons are Bastard sword, Greataxe, Hammer, and Flail. [/list] So I hopped in as an archer, and immediately regretted my decision. Team deathmatch is almost squadbased, with groups of 3 or 4 charging at once, and everyone seems to have a general hatred towards archers. So, I died. A lot. Eventually I switched to a Man at Arms with the beginner shortsword. The speed was amazing, and I managed my first kill before dying. The game appeared ruthless to me, with wave after wave of enemies ready to stab me in the back - or throw something into my lower-dick area. But it was fun, decapitating the few I could. By the end game, I had 5 kills and 13 deaths - but the five I killed were well worth it. [b]Levels 1-15[/b] Game after game, I was killed. Repetitavely. But, I got better. Learned how to be more aware of my situation. Learned the different swings, and when to block/kick. By the time I was level ten, I could hold my own - and had even won a few 1v4 fights. My friends then got the game on sale - and let me tell you, when your friends are playing, the fun increases exponentially. Between level ten and fifteen I had my best games, including my very best being 43 kills and 3 deaths (Holy Shit). And the best part, I was progressing. I unlocked equipment, weapons. I learned when to use specific classes. I memorized the maps and knew my strategy. I went from absolutely terrible to a force to be reckoned with. [b]Levels 15 and on[/b] I just reached level 16. But it's far from over. I have many more weapons I want to unlock, and many more kills I wish to obtain. I do like this game, a lot. Even the deadliest warrior portion - though it is significantly more buggy. [h1]Pros and Cons[/h1] [b]Cons[/b] [list] [*] Price - At $21.99 CAD, the price is a little steep. I'm glad my buddies got it on sale for $8.00 [*] Hit boxes - They are getting better, but they're not great. Sometimes you get clipped for seemingly no reason at all. [*] Game stuttering - even surpassing the recommended requirements by a mile, I still get stuttering. [/list] [b]Pros[/b] [list] [*] Hours of Fun - The game is awesome. A great community and many different playstyles [*] Visuals - It's very pretty to look at, and ALMOST feels like real battle [*] Gamemodes - Versitile game modes, including TDM, FFA, Team objective, and Duel [/list] [h1]General Ratings[/h1] Visuals - 8/10 Combat - 6/10 Control Response - 8/10 Community - 8/10 Gameplay - 9/10

  Hella dope. Only wish there were more players, and that the 2nd would be on Steam instead of "epic" games. That was a big mistake.
