Chivalry: Medieval Warfare Review (〖Rowan〗)
Despite me having over a thousand hours invested in Chivalry, personally I cannot recommend this game for new players for its current prize.
( The - )
Chivalry may have been an genre-defining title in the early 2010's but It has long lived past its prime. The game has been long forgotten by Torn Banner, who could have kept it going with further maintenance and content updates. The combat system, despite being incredibly dynamic and complicated, is also janky as all hell, thus easily abusable. This may scare off most of the newer players in an already dying player base. Chivalry also suffers from plenty of game breaking bugs, glitches, unbalance
(debate me) and clunky hitboxes in various maps.
( The + )
The sole reason I have spent all this time in chivalry over the past years is thanks to the single best dedicated community in any game. The biggest community (Sneaky Monkeys) are filled with enthusiastic, wonderful people, who arrange community-events regularly, and the ongoing modding- side of the game, are the only reason Chivalry hasn't been thrown to the burning pile of dead games. Second part I can appreciate are the visual- & audio work. Chivalry has one of the best graphics and sound-design I have encountered, which easily holdup with other current medieval warfare- titles.
