Tighter combat mechanics make hefting the vast unlockable arsenal a real treat, even if battles occasionally go off the rails with wonky bots thrown into the mix.
Plenty of diverse classes and tight combat makes up for a lack of game modes. If you already have Chivalry: Medieval Warfare, Deadliest Warrior is a fun expansion pack that offers a welcome change of pace from the main game if deathmatch-oriented matches are in your wheelhouse.
I really love this game because it's really skill based. At first when you start playing it it's hard but eventually you get the concepts of slashing and blocking and fighting becomes really rewarding. There are multiple game modes ranging from duel to team deathmatch. There are multiple classes and every class is unique and has its own fighting style. This game is a must for anyone who likes medieval games
This expansion provides something the base game does not have - variety! Like the show on Spike, this version of the game doesn't take itself too seriously. What it lacks in features (single player, co-op), it makes up for in unabashed battlefield mayhem which requires some semblance of skill. Each class feels vastly different and requires tactical changes in order to master. Every round feels unique and there is tons of potential for new content down the road. Torn Banner ,please add Apache and Highlanders!
The increase in class variety is welcome and each combatant has a certain novelty value, but Deadliest Warrior perhaps doesn't bring enough to the table to fully elevate itself above Medieval Warfare.
If you liked the description or screenshots from Chivalry: Deadliest Warrior, better buy the original game - Chivalry: Medieval Warfare. And if you already have it, then simply move along.
The gameplay is an 8.5, the biggest downside is that there is no Team Objective game mode, but there are not a lot of "pro players" that do crazy drags and rainbows. The game can be frustrating at times, but when you get the hang of it, it is quite fun. However, the technical bugs lower this game's value; expect alt-tabbing to always crash the game or even your computer, also expect video/control setting to reset most time the game updates. Still though, this game is great fun, especially with friends.
For a Chivalry DLC, this pretty much offers anything you could want from first person slash and dash game.
6 different character classes to play, each with unique weapons, pros and cons with them. Very enjoyable and fun. Only downside is the chat box, that is filled with 10 year old Call of Duty players.
Chivalry: Deadliest Warrior is like Call of Duty. But there are no modern guns or grenades. You will smash your enemies by swords, polearms, scimitars or crossbows.
There are several interesting factions (samurais, pirates, ninjas, spartans, knights, vikings) with different playstyles and weapons. You can try different modes like team deathmatch or last team standing, capture the flag and some more.
The game is unforgiving for new players. More experienced players will punish you for every mistake. But when you overcame your first mistakes and learn how to block, dodge, etc... Then you will be rewarded by enjoyment from defeating your opponent.
But thats almost all you can expect from this game.
PROS
- Its quite cheap
- Good 1v1 combat machanics
- Good factions variability and playstyles
- Unforgiving but rewarding
CONS
- Game is overally not polished enough
- Weak graphics
- Weird tutorial
This game lacks many basic mechanics (i.e I swing a giant 2 handed sword at someone, and they block it with a tiny little dagger....when I'm hitting them from their back.). For $15, it's not worth it. Wait until it goes on sale before even thinking of purchasing this DLC. Graphics are mediocre, and the community is filled with raging little kids. Much better ways to spend your money.
