Chivalry: Medieval Warfare

Betteh and abiscuit made me buy this. While I was initially hesitant I ended up buying it, unfortunately just before the autumn sale :( Having played it a few nights now I must say that it is rather fun. It is a nice break from all the shoot'em up games that have been around as of late and the hand to hand combat ( sans archers) is challenging but once you get the hang of it the realism of the combat stands out. Now when I say realism what I mean is how the timing and placement of shots matter. The range of your swing and where you are in the action all make a world of difference.

It is currenlt $25 but was as low as 12.50 that I saw during the autumn sale. With the christmas sale coming up it is a good time to check it out. possibly even get in on a discounted 4 pack. So far it has been mostly biscuit betteh shifty and myself playing but there are a few others that own it and at least a few with it on their wishlist.

I know biscuit made a thread about this before but it was a game that bears repeating. There are 2 trailers on the steam page and a ton of gameplay videos on youtube.

I didn't screen the whole video for language but just a heads up because it is possible.

This game has a dedicated button for a battle cry. It's really fun when the battle starts and all of your team shouts out just before we start chopping off heads. This is not a game where you can mash left click and win. You might get some success doing it, but against anybody who knows what the parry button is you'll get killed in a hurry. As Giz said timing your swings and blocks is a major part of this game. The game will likely go on sale during the winter sale so keep an eye out for it.

I can livestream games now so if anyone is possibly interested in the game you can watch us fail tonight on my Twitch Channel and see if the game is for you. [/shamelessplug]

If there ever was a new game that the ville should run a server for, it is this game. Lopping heads and limbs while saying cliche catch phrases of olde is perversely enjoyable. Also, copious death gurgling.

I've already got a pitch running. We are looking in to our options ill just say that. a lot of it comes down to player base and the number of people that pick it up on sale.

I enjoy throwing javelins and screaming.

This game is hilariously fun.

Thanks Stevo.

I've got a hour under my belt so far. I went back through and did the in game tutorial and remapped a few buttons. Did a bit more multilayer. I'm sure it will be fun with a large group of villuns in team speak.

On youtube, I saw the LAN party video of this on the NODE channel. It looked interesting. Anyone want to go in on a 4-pack? It would be about $9.40 per person.

I usually buy the 4-pack and get reimbursed via paypal. Let me know via steam chat or PM me on the site because I may overlook this thread by end of today's sales.

If not, I'll probably pick this game up for the $12.49.

All taken.
