Mordhau is very similar to Chivalry: Medieval Warfare but it seems to be harder to control. This FPS has a sophisticated system of attacks and is very skill based. The reticle has a pointer which indicates the side of your attack strike. Aim to the left or right of your opponent to perform side swing, roll mouse to perform upper swing or stab. You can faint attack or fake the side, drag your weapon early or late to connect with the enemy. The bows, crossbows and siege weapons all have different techniques to control. Each weapon has different stats which you can see in advanced options of armory. Basic stats for melee are damage, speed and reach. There are few neat RPG elements that make your class unique. There are 3 major modes with few maps available for voting. 2 teams in open battle or invasion, battle royale - find a box and survive, hordes of AI enemies - straight out of Chivalry game. You gain coins per battle. Each class can be edited in your armory. Equipment and skills are limited while each item has different cost. Coins can be spent on new weapons or clothes. 2 teams mode is my favourite. You need to capture points, protect them, peasants and nobles need to survive when you defend. Team damage is valid but is decreased compared to enemies, so there is little chance of killing your ally while you regenerate your health once outside of combat. There are med pouches and ammo boxes, you can pick fallen weapons and ride few available horses until they get killed. Horse combat is fast and clunky, it allows you to use lance which is otherwise useless. AI mode is simple, gain coins by killing and surviving waves, there is equipment scattered around the map to purchase and three random value boxes. I have struggled in my first battles, the game requires quick reflexes, watching enemy positioning and recognizing their intentions. Watch their playstyle. Running away is not very effective, and defending makes you predictable. It is important to surprise, use useful weapons. There is even engineer class for buildings. Why do I like it? It has quite satisfying combat, reminds me of my favourite game of Chivalry, maps are well spaced out. It has a good tutorial for full combat explanation, in-game coins for unlocking more things, character customization is nice. Graphics are also fine. What bothers me? Few maps in rotation, AI is predictable, no level balancing, some weapons are simply bad. It is a fair game with decent combat mechanics. Chivalry or this, neither is superior. The core is the same. Well-done game, bring more customization and maps. 9/10
