Sometimes I killed a teammate or two as I swung my sword at an enemy. As a Man-at-Arms I once chucked an oil pot at a group of enemies and accidentally burned a few of my teammates. However, due to the close quarters combat, team killing is prevalent and usually accidental. Doing so rightfully penalizes you with more seconds added to your respawn timer. The game has a friendly fire mechanic that allows you to damage and kill your own teammates. Dismemberment, battle cries, and death rattles accentuate Chivalry’s gory combat. Archers taken by surprise equip their daggers out of desperation and stab relentlessly. One-on-one duels are interrupted by nearby players eager to join the fray. With that many players wildly swinging at each other, the combat becomes fast-paced and hectic. The max amount of players allowed in a match is 24, 12 on both teams. Due to the game’s focus on melee combat, fighting is done at close quarters.

You can block and parry, shove back your enemies, and perform three different types of attacks that can be used in feints and combos: stab, overhead, and slash. Chivalry’s melee combat consists of various moves that can be performed from a first-person or third-person perspective. The last class is the powerful and heavily armored, but slow-moving Knight. Despite his fragility, the Archer focuses on ranged weapons to deal damage from a distance. The Vanguard’s ridiculously long weapons give him a significant reach advantage. The Man-at-Arms is light, agile, and can use his speed to dodge attacks. Players choose between the blue-and-gold Agatha Knights and the red-and-black Mason Order and choose from one of four classes before spawning into battle. However, these aspects inexplicably make Chivalry one of the funniest experiences I’ve had in an online multiplayer game. The ability to vote players out of a match is abused constantly and the game’s frame rate is far from perfect. Players recklessly swing their weapons while potentially decapitating a teammate’s head in the process. There is a feeling of chaos that permeates an online match of Chivalry: Medieval Warfare.
