Anyone play this? Says released Oct 17, 2012...

Check it out here!

Looks the goods if you have friends to play with

I have it, but the truth is that I played very little. It´s entertaining game to play with friends, but a bit repetitive, and the movements are not very good

Also have it, but havent played for a while, had a grand time when it came out though, racked up about 60 hours. stopped because got all the unlocks and had other games to play, but was fun when i did play it!

I have it and play it almost daily. I'm rank 39, only a small handful of Aussie players are higher.

There is a content patch coming out in the next week or two that intorduces a few new maps, plus several types of weapons;

Flail
Polehammer
Quaterstaff
Sling

It also adds a much needed function of starting your swing from the opposite direction, useful for getting around shields.

The game is heavily skill based, in that if I play against a rank 0-10 player I will win 99% of the time and in general you could take on 3 or 4 of them at the same time. Those at rank 20 a far better though and it takes a bit more effort. There is very little randomness in the game, of which lag causes the most.


The game needs you to focus on your footwork more so then most other FPS'. A fight between two high level players can consist of a min or so staring each other down moving around a bit waiting for someone to make a mistake, then swinging starts, they are tense and fun.

At its core, Chivalry is essentially a fighting game. If you like fighting games like Tekken you will probably like this.

Also the melee system they use works exceedingly well in FPS, easily the best FPS melee system I've ever seen/played. So much so that using melee in other FPS games is laughable.

Since each kill is based mainly on skill, you get great satisfaction from defeating people. In the Objective style maps there are archers that many people complain about, it is mainly because they have little awareness of their surroundings and continually fight people while getting peppered by arrows. Instead of moving the fight out of sight from the archers.

Archery is fun ;)

i played it for about a week before realising that i had no where near the time available to get competitive at it. also it can be really unforgiving for newbies with everyone wiping the damn floor with your semi detached face.

@ work currently so dunno exact time played. Maybe 5hrs or so.

Wasnt a big fan of the TDM game modes where you wait til the next round when you die cause it can take a while. I think there are smaller battle arena style TDM maps that would be quicker.

TDM with respawn is good cause you fight til a team has a certain number of kills. Good fun flanking the enemy to pwn some archers or attack from the rear.

Objective based games are OK but often end up a big fight in the middle without much concern for achieving the objective.

Combat is the best part of this. Over attack, under attack, shield (that can only be brought up for a moment), fake attacks, kick? As well as 4 classes that have different strengths and weaknesses. You can also choose from a limited number of weapons for each class making people of the same class slightly different.

I DLed a torrent version to test the graphics and combat in offline training mode and was happy so i purchased it. I find the hit detection sometimes shitty but im guessing thats due to lag on both ends of the players. Also, i find connecting to games somewhat problematic.

Compared to WotR i think combat is better, more popular online, less buggy and more game modes. Also love the first person POV. Much more intense combat when your view is restricted. Also, decent graphic violence with limbs and heads flying around.

I want to add scopes and foregrips to my bows, and laser sights for my swords.
