Mordhau Reviews
Mordhau's deep melee combat system creates moments of gory multiplayer medieval magic.
High skill cap melee combat is equally rewarding and daunting, though the archery and support roles could use some work.
If you can push past the steep learning curve, Mordhau's brand of chaos is addictive and hilarious
Steel meets flesh in this violent but refined take on large-scale medieval combat.
In the end, Mordhau is a goofy yet realistic medieval combat game that caters to a ton of different players. Many will grind games in order to best perfect their skills with their favorite weapon. Then there's me, who literally runs around the battlefield playing a musical instrument that adds absolutely zero gameplay value to the team. That's the beauty of Mordhau -- the individual moments tend to outweigh any of the design flaws or technical glitches that are present.
Mordhau is mechanically deep, brutally fun, and encourages experimentation.
MORDHAU exhibits flashes of brilliance, but the console port of this four year-old medieval multiplayer game is marred by combat that feels inelegant and dull on a controller.
Even with the struggles over the last week, the launch of Mordhau has clearly been a success for Triternion and players alike. Even as horrible as I am at the combat it is impossible to deny the melee fighting is a welcome reprieve from the usual first-person shooter or Diablo-esque hack-n-slash combat. The dev team seems intent on keeping the community updated on issues as they arise, and they have already announced they will be adding more content to the game.Score: 9.0
Mordhau is a slap in the face and a pleasure at every moment. Much more than a spiritual sequel to Chivalry, it's an exciting game. Deep, easy to understand but hard to master, it's a breath of fresh air for video games.

A medieval combat simulator with a robust physics and combat system, Mordhau shows flourishes of brilliance but can't be crowned champion just yet.
While there are certain aspects that would love to see improved, I am confident that those who are even mildly interested in it will find plenty to keep them coming back.
Mordhau has to be your first choice if you're looking for a real challenge. With 3 addictive modes and realistic combat, paying for Mordhau is not going to make you regret

Mordhau's incredibly satisfying melee combat and slapstick ultra-violence make for a riotously good time on the medieval battlefield, though a lack of maps for the best mode and lingering technical issues are cracks in the armor of this otherwise thrilling multiplayer slasher.
Mordhau can be considered one of the best online titles in recent years, offering a deep and satisfying gameplay specially for the fans of one on one combat, and while issues can be seen here and there, nothing is serious enough to affect the the whole experience.

Though some enjoyment can get lost in the chaos of battle, it is easily one of the most immersive experiences of the year when players take the time to get familiar with the combat mechanics.
MORDHAU is brutal; it is frantic; it is blood and guts and severed limbs. Above all, MORDHAU is the medieval hack and slash combat game you’ve been waiting to lose your head over.
MORDHAU had such a huge launch that server issues were a problem for quite a lot of people, however in my hefty hours of gameplay I didn't experience a single issue and have been offered a ton of gold in compensation for issues I never even faced.
The fighting system is fun and the game gives the atmosphere of the middle age battlefield in a good way. Even though it loses its magic when playing for a long time. It has potential if future update able to keep players in the game and fix frustating bugs and Server issues.

Launch issues aside, Mordhau is a brutal, chaotic medieval first & third-person slasher with an engaging combat system, satisfying one-on-one duels and rich customization options.
Diving into Mordhau's rich combat system and wealth of customization options is endlessly entertaining. A must play for anyone with a mind for the medieval.
