This story is further strewn through the battlefields that you will partake in. The Agathian Order is a supposed just faction of honor while the Masons are a vengeful and barbaric group that split off from Agatha to see it annihilated. There is only a little bit of overt and in-your-face story in Chivalry 2. It also doesn't feel too arcadey, which is an issue I had with the first Chivalry.What can I say about Chivalry 2 that I have not expressed with giddy delight when I have been playing the game in previous livestreams of open and closed betas? Will you hear my story of magnificent conquests stretching from bloody beaches to hotly contested throne rooms? Shall I regale the uninitiated with the tale of when I chopped a knight’s arm off and dropped them to their knees before lining their head like a croquet ball and using a halberd’s business end as the mallet to deliver just ka-knockings to their dome? This is a vast PVP like no other and the experience you'll have with it can only be limited by the sheer depth of ragdoll physics hilarity, give-and-take melee, and hefty impact each swing entreats you to at nearly every turn. Even if you're the best blademaster in the realm, you need teammates to stand on the objective. Bad and okay players are always going to outnumber the truly exceptional ones, and they need to still be able to have fun or they'll abandon you. There's a high skill ceiling, but the difference between a pretty good player and a really good player is smaller than in a game like Mordhau, which I think is a smart decision. But executing those moves once you've committed to a decision doesn't require godlike reflexes or extremely precise mouse movements. There are just enough ways to attack, parry, riposte, dodge, and counter that it pays to be able to think on your feet and react to what your opponent is doing.

Read the full Chivalry: Medieval Warfare review
Like its competition, Chivalry hasn't quite perfected the formula for medieval warfare, but it's a violent, fun time nonetheless. Though the lack of complexity sometimes works both for and against it, getting caught up in the flow of battle yields many hours of man-stabbing amusement. Lopping off appendages in gory displays of warrior aggression makes Chivalry: Medieval Warfare's up-close and personal melee combat a gritty and fulfilling on a primal level. What We Said About Chivalry: Medieval Warfare Though don't think you can easily climb to the top of the leaderboards by wildly swinging a mace around. The overall flow of it and the ways in which it limits how much an extremely skilled player can absolutely dominate the battlefield hit a sweet spot for me. It's not the most realistic medieval brawler I've ever played, but this is power fantasy, not a documentary. And with more than 30 hours under my belt, I'm loving it. The combat system is, of course, the core of everything. And in another clever bit of design, you recharge these powers faster by doing things your class is good at and should be doing anyway, like getting kills with your charge attack as the furious raider or blocking attacks as the stalwart guardian. Even if you're not the best one-on-one fighter in the world, you can still make a world of difference in big encounters by blowing your war horn and giving a hefty area-of-effect heal to your side of the melee.
I also admired that, within each class, special abilities tend to focus on supporting your team rather than simply making you better as a single combatant.
