Nope! It was just a Kickstarted passion project that was inspired by the aforementioned hack and slash. Either way, it’s got some great Chivalry vibes and at the same time does enough to differentiate itself and stand on its own merits. Medieval hand-to-hand combat is a genre that I think will continue to blossom. Between Chivalry, For Honor, and now Mordhau, there is proof that no one approach is king there is room for competition. Mordhau is a melee-focused combat game that focusing on killing and maiming each other with weapons like longswords, pikes, bardiches (bardichii?), and way more.Īlso, you can play a lute. It doesn’t do anything, but that hasn’t stopped me from playing it in every match I can! Since there is no story or singleplayer, Mordhau boils down to its mechanics and how they are used to full effect. This is a game primarily about hand-to-hand combat, it is super important to note that swinging weapons feels good. Weapons handle in their own unique ways, and the game rewards paying close attention to the other players and the surroundings. There are a lot of mechanics to keep track of. Players can swing their weapon, block, parry and riposte, kick, throw, and I’m sure I’m forgetting things even now. Knowing when to use what is the goal of practicing - do you thrust your sword now or wait and take a bigger swing? Is your spacing correct to make that maneuver you were planning? One chooses a class when entering battle which dictates the weapon and armor they bring to the fray. The default classes are varied and give the player a great selection of different roles to choose from. ![]() It’s also possible to create a brand new class, complete with weapons, armor, and perks. Doing all of this costs gold which can be earned at a respectable rate just from playing the game. It’s exciting to find efficient and unique combos that create different playstyles. For example, I have a class that uses a Lute as its primary weapon and a rock as its secondary. I just run around playing music and throwing rocks at people. And really, this is where Mordhau shines: making every match your own.
