This is where I spend all of my time playing Chivalry and where the most fun can be had. They normally go on for about 20-25 minutes or so and are pure carnage from the get-go.
There are a number of objectives to fight over ranging from storming castle walls to burning villages and killing Dukes. The Team Objective game mode sees you fighting across large maps usually moving between different settings such as city outskirts, then fighting through castle walls into the keep itself. This is where the game is at its most enjoyable. With 32 players on each side, one team attacking, the other one defending across multiple objectives. The large-scale battles are where Chivalry 2 shines brightest. But no one likes Archers, so don’t be that person… Big Battles Mixing it up and finding what works for you is part of the fun.
Finally, you have the Knight who can use sword and shield combos or one-handed weapons.Įach class has their own health, stamina, and utilities to learn. The Footman also uses two-handed weapons like the Polearm, so is a little less brute force and a bit more finesse. The Vanguard uses big two-handed weapons such as the Dane Axe. Each class sort of specialises in a particular weapon type. With four main classes to choose from, each with their own subclasses. From there you’re free to jump in and start fighting. There is a quick tutorial to get you started which will introduce you to the main mechanics of the game. Getting to grips with things in Chivalry 2 doens’t take long.
With more maps, more customisation, and some variations on game modes to come in the full game, there wasn’t really any doubt I’d enjoy it. I played just under 20 hours of the beta a month or so back and was completely sold on getting the full game. Genres: Melee, hack and slash, multiplayer Players: Up to 64 players (Max 4 player party)
Platforms: PC Epic Games Store, Xbox One, Series S/X, PS4, PS5 Chivalry has its frustrating moments for sure, but 99% of the time it’s just pure hack and slash fun. Being able to mess around with your friends in video games with limited consequences will never ever, not be a great time. Enjoyable combat, great weapons to unlock that offer a decent amount of variety, some excellent maps. I was a big fan of the Chivalry 2 beta, it had exactly what I look for in multiplayer games I can play with my friends.
