Link to the game: https://store.steampowered.com/app/629760/MORDHAU/
Available 4/29 for $30

From the steam page:

quote:

MORDHAU is a medieval first & third person multiplayer slasher. Enter a hectic battlefield of up to 64 players as a mercenary in a fictional, but realistic world, where you will get to experience the brutal and satisfying melee combat that will have you always coming back for more

Features:
Massive battles: From small-scale engagements to 64-player all-out war in modes such as Frontline and Battle Royale.
Cooperative & offline play: Fight waves of enemies alongside your friends in the cooperative Horde mode, or practice your skills offline against AI.
Free-form melee and ranged combat: Gain complete control over your character and attacks and develop your unique style.
In-depth character customization: Sculpt your face, create your weapon from parts, and pick out individual pieces of armor to create the perfect warrior.
Huge arsenal of weapons & equipment: Take on enemies with a greatsword, rain arrows from above, or even sit back and build fortifications.
Fight anywhere: Experience cavalry charges, fight on ladders, and operate siege engines such as the catapult and ballista.
Visceral and gory combat: Feel the impact of every blow, and send limbs flying as you wreak havoc upon your foes. (Blood & gore are optional)
Believable fights: A game where fights look believable, MORDHAU strikes a balance between gameplay and realism.

So why not play Chivalry?

Mordhau is basically Age of Chivalry / Chivalry except they took out dumb poo poo like reverse overheads here:

Mordhau also has cavalry, siege weapons, and a much deeper melee system. You can find out more about some of the features in their dev blog series. Here is the latest:

Also, this game is hard. You can block someone's attack by mirroring their attack and then morphing it into another attack which you delay by dragging the mouse away from yourself to avoid their parry, among a million other things. If you want to get better at this game you have to practice. A lot. Also read this guide: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1640297858

If we get a lot of people actually playing it, I can make a channel for it, but for now, you can just talk in the general games channel.

Man, I can't wait for this. Pretty much the only complaint I had against Chivalry was all the dumb spinny bullshit, and with that removed this looks like more or less the ideal iteration on that concept. The customization is aces as well.

Also, anybody remember that Deadliest Warrior DLC for Chivalry? That one actually also limited the spinning shenanigans by implementing tighter active frames, but unfortunately it also had a faster and more frantic pace, so it never was quite as satisfying as vanilla.

Any word on how the archery is in this? I remember it being a bit weak in Chivalry.

This game looks very good and I want it for the character customization alone, but the fact that there’s gonna be a bunch of people who have been playing this skill based game for two years running around seems like it’s gonna make things lovely for new players


e; this and the other mordhau thread should duel to the death

double e; op mentions this is first and third person, p much all the footage I’ve seen has been first person-is there a toggle or is it contextual?
