Whilst the game has many subtleties until you can instinctively perform special moves, the fog of war degrades combat to the haphazard purity of dodge, block and attack. Players expecting the skillful swordsmanship of Ubisoft's For Honorwill likely be appalled by the haphazard carnage of Chivalry 2. In truth, what goes down on the battlefield is a lot scrappier. Initially, whilst doing the tutorials, the combat seemed similar to the likes of Mount and Bladeand Kingdom Come: Deliverance. There's also a tutorial session that goes through the intricacies of the game. The training mode allows players to experience the complete set of maps and match types, but without gaining any experience. There is an offline bot-filled training mode, though, if you want to get up to speed and not embarrass yourself. The game has no single-player campaign and is instead an online-only multiplayer affair. There's a whole section on the lore in the game detailing the characters and even a map of Chivalry 2's world. These two opposing doctrines provide the backdrop to the game's conflict. Whereas Agatha appreciates honour and justice, the Masons believe in strength and ferocity. Chivalry 2 continues from the civil war featured in the first game. The two factions engage in a variety of large-scale 40 or 64-player battles in free-for-all, team deathmatch, and team objective rounds.įor what is effectively a hack and slash game, there is a lot of lore surrounding the conflict between Agatha and the Masons.
The game is set around a conflict involving two factions, the Agatha Knights and the Mason Order, who wear red and blue, respectively. After checking the game out, the COD comparison is probably the best description you could give it. It was only when I heard Chivalry 2 described as medieval Call of Duty that my interest was properly piqued. Possibly why I gave the first game, Chivalry: Medieval Warfare a wide birth back in 2012. Chivalry 2sounds like the sequel to a turn-based medieval strategy game.
