You have to unlock many of these items by paying gold and as you can expect for this type of game, you can obviously spend real money to buy in-game currency. There’s also a whole range of cosmetic options for your gear, from helmets to armour sets, different heraldries and even skins for you weapons.
Here you can change your soldier’s heads, hair, voice and facial features. Once unlocked, you can start customizing your classes and weapons in the Armory. Dressed to ImpressĪside from the classes, you also have a whole range of weapons to unlock by leveling up. Being able to switch classes during matches gives you a certain leniency to apprach the battle how you desire at that moment, or depending on the needs of your team. The other main classes are Footman, Vanguard and Archer, so even if you want to stay at a distance and fight with a bow or a crossbow, you also have that option. The Knight for example, is divide dinto Officer (uses a trumpet that heals your team mates), Guardian (has a banner that heals allies over time) and Crusader (can throw an oil pot that ignites an area or a target in flames). Each class has it’s own advantages and weaknesses, while also having unique abilities. The game features four classes for you to play with, with each class having three sub-classes. Playing with 63 other players also feels impressive, especially on some of the more elaborate stages that feater a whole city or castle and things like ballista’s and siege towers. Especially if you manage to take down a more experience player or a small group of players. Each swing of stab feels impactful and each kill is satisfying. Luckily, the multiplayer mayhem is bloody and visceral.
#CHIVALRY 2 REVIEW OFFLINE#
Sure, you can play each map in the Offline Practice mode, but this isn’t exactly the same as a story mode. Given that there is so much lore present in the game, I do find it a bit of a missed opportunity that there isn’t a fully realized singleplayer mode. If you want a bit more background on the lore and the history, the game has a whole section where you can read up on the conflict and contextualize each battle. Each stage is basically a conflict in a greater war between the kingdom of Agatha and the Mason Order, which is the continuation from the first game taking place 20 years later. Here you will partake in multi-objective battles on grand stages that have their own little narrative.
Team Objective feels like it’s where the heart of the game is. The first two pretty much speak for themselves. The game modes that Chivalry 2 currently offers are Free-for-all, Team Deathmatch and Team Objective. It’s a pretty barebones experience at the time of writing. You cannot select which map or mode you want to play, there is no server list nor the possibility to create your own games or a private lobby. Considering the game’s main focus is multiplayer, I personally find the lack of options a but disappointing. The game is actually the definition of a pick-up-and-play game, as after booting up the game, you get the option to jump straight into 64-Player or 40-Player Mixed Modes or Free-for-all battles through a matchmaking system. It just wants you to have fun as you battle it out with up to 63 other players on a variety of beautifully designed stages and game modes.
But as we’ve grown accustomed to the control scheme, with R2 and R1 for attacks, L2 to block, X to dodge and so on, you’ll quickly learn the tricks of the trade.Ĭhivalry 2 also feels more accessible to casual players than For Honor for example, as there seems to be less focus on the competetive element. It might be a bit more complex than in say The Elder Scolls or Warhammer: End Times - Vermintide, due to the fact that you can also determine which was you swing your sword. While moves like counter, parry and riposte might require a bit more practice, swinging your sword or axe is very intuitive. After a short tutorial that teaches you the basics, you’ll quickly find yourself slaughtering your enemies during epic castle sieges, battles on big open fields or brawls in smaller arenas. Chivalry 2 is actually a pretty straigthfoward game. If the idea of going into large-scale melee battles sounds daunting to you, I have some good news. So after almost 10 years, we finally get to enter the battlefield once again in Chivalry 2. As the genre grew in popularity in recent years, with releases such as Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord, Mordhau and For Honor, it felt like the right time to finally follow up with a sequel. Back in 2012, Torn Banner Studios launched their multiplayer medieval combat game Chivalry: Medieval Warfare.
