Torn Banner has done some wrong and they may not be the best developers in the world but they've truly made a one of a kind game that will always be in my heart, and it had a very long run so you know they know what they're doing(except for Mirage and DW we don't talk about those) I get on every night hoping some servers will be populated. I still enjoy Chivalry 1 WAY more than mordhau. Mordhau is still great – especially with its nuanced combat system and the learning curve that comes with it – though Chivalry 2 offers a better all-round package and a more welcoming player community.For all those who haven't personally played much Chivalry or Mordhau, I have a personal little perspective on this. Chivalry 2’s objective-based team modes, regular expansions, and fantasy trappings help edge out the competition. Taking a glance at our scorecard, there’s a clear winner, though both games have done wonders for the multiplayer melee subgenre. Combined, the scope of these updates easily outweigh the post-launch support Mordhau has received, though Chivalry 2 is a sequel after all and one that boasts a much larger development team. Not only has developer Tripwire Interactive continued to enhance the core experience since 2021, there have also been plenty of themed expansions introducing a wealth of new maps and modes, as well as weapons and gear to customise your loadouts. While free, notable updates are often flanked by the latest cosmetic DLC bundles, giving die hard Mordhau players more ways to dress up their in-game avatars.Ĭhivalry 2 has also seen its fair share of free updates – nowadays, adding free playable content to your live service game is pretty much mandatory. The biggest update arrived in 2021 with the release of Eastern Invasion, adding new desert-themed maps and the scimitar weapon class. Since it launched in 2019, Mordhau has enjoyed a steady stream of updates, introducing new playable content, character customisation options, and quality of life improvements. Even if the defenders get pushed all the way back into a last stand, there’s still a chance they can turn things around, imbuing the game with a level of tension you just can’t find in Mordhau. Instead of simply standing next to an objective and watching a progress bar fill, Chivalry 2’s environmental interactions ramp up the immersion as opposing teams throw everything they have at completing these objectives. These sweeping, multi-phase battles see attackers and defenders clash to complete tasks such as stealing treasure, torching houses, or pushing battering rams. Mordhau’s selection of modes is pretty conventional with your standard deathmatch and team deathmatch, as well as Frontline in which two teams clash over contested checkpoints to score points.Ĭhivalry 2 offers many of the same modes, though most players will find themselves drawn to its marquee Team Objective matches. When it comes to game modes, however, Chivalry 2 outshines its rival with ease. Each one is carefully designed to enable myriad strategic options for either team, stitching together tight indoor spaces with open stretches of battlefield. These maps offer more than a simple change in set dressing. Over time the number of maps available in Mordhau and Chivalry 2 has greatly expanded, whether battling in snowy peaks, dense forest, or arid desert shanties. Speaking of maps, both games offer a diverse atlas of locations. Boasting a brighter, more vibrant colour palette, Chivalry 2’s breaks from realism arguably work in its favour, conjuring creative, elaborate battlefields for its two fictional forces to wage war upon. There’s a honed attention to detail in the game’s gallery of weapons and armour, helping to dial up an immersive sense of realism though, admittedly, there are touches of goofiness, mainly engineers by Mordhau’s players and their comic use of emotes and voice barksĬhivalry 2, by comparison, isn’t what you’d call high fantasy in terms of its visual style there’s definitely some grit there, though it’s not quite as down and dirty as Mordhau. Mordhau’s love for its medieval setting goes way beyond its passion in replicating medieval fighting styles. That said, there is still plenty of depth for those who master its battle mechanics with skilled fighters able to flawlessly deflect and manoeuvre around enemies to deliver that killing blow. On the other hand, Chivalry 2 embraces a more accessible and fast-paced combat system that feels more suited to its sweeping team-based modes, where both sides throw bodies at the objective in a bloody tug of war.
