![]() Invasion was very simplistic with the task of one team attacking and the other defending. This was like a mini conquest/domination style mode where you fight to capture certain areas of each map. When it comes to modes, there seem to be plenty, Frontline was one of my personal favourites. However, the server browser takes that work away and you can flick through whatever games are running at the time. If you’re a night owl, like me, then you may be pushed towards the American side of the pond to find players. There are region-based servers which you can filter through. While I didn’t test this feature it is cool that it’s there. If you’re fed up with playing against real enemies online, there is the option to set up local matches. Levelling is very straightforward and is experience-based but the fact that there are 200 levels to work through will give the most dedicated players plenty to work through. I was delighted to see that there is a section on the menus solely dedicated to all of this information. I like to know how many kills, deaths, captures and my entire history on a game. I am a statistics junkie when it comes to gaming, especially with online multiplayer games. Run out of energy and you’re going to succumb to death pretty quickly, so learning when to back off a bit was also fun. You do have to be mindful of your personal health and stamina. It was a struggle to grasp at first against more experienced players but by god, the combat was super satisfying when it landed right. You can feign horizontal and vertical slashes and go for a stab or the conventional parry and attack. Attacking is all about timing and striking with purpose. You don’t have 64 players all in one cluster waving swords about in an attempt to get a lucky strike. What I really liked about MORDHAU is that players are far more cautious in their approach and mindset. ![]() If you prefer going at it from a distance, of course, you can blend into the background with a bow and arrow. There are of course different classes to choose from, all with their own unique weaponry such as single-handed and two-handed swords, maces, axes and more. Doing this here though will result in instant death if you’re not careful. I will mention Chivalry 2 one more time in this instance because in that game you can get by running head first into battle swinging whichever weapon you choose and still get results. You’ll quickly realise that MORDHAU is easily the most serious game in the genre and requires patience, precision and planning to get right. You’ll also learn how to use a bow and arrow, engage in horse combat, how to destroy and build along with firing catapults at enemy lines. This will take approximately 20 minutes of your time But here you’ll learn how to attack, parry, and kick along with combination attacks and different ways of slaying your enemies. I fully recommend that you force yourself to play MORDHAU‘s tutorial first. That isn’t to say casual players won’t have fun here, I actually prefer the experience here and as I lead into the gameplay elements you’ll see why. I don’t want to keep drawing direct comparisons to Chivalry 2 during this review but what I will say is that this game caters to the more serious player whereas Chivalry 2 is far more suited to the more casual out there. ![]() With over 88,000 reviews averaging a very positive rating on Steam I was very keen to check this one out as I love anything with medieval vibes, especially when it comes to competitive multiplayer action. However, as someone who doesn’t really play games on PC, I was totally unaware of the existence of the game until it landed on Xbox this week. MORDHAU has been on PC for over four years now. It isn’t until you get the game in your hands though that you’ll find a vast difference between the two. ![]() Many will draw direct comparisons to the Chivalry games and after the success of Chivalry 2 on consoles, it is extremely difficult not to stack the two side by side since they bear so many similarities. Other users have reported low player counts across the game and while servers don’t seem rammed to the brim, during the day in the UK I have had no trouble finding populated matches. However, I am happy to report these have been fixed very quickly and during my review, I experienced very little issue-wise. #first-person, #Medieval, #Mordhau, #Multiplayer, #Review, #Swordplay, #Triternion, #Xbox Series X|SĪfter surveying some of the user reviews on the Xbox store for MORDHAU it was a little bit of a mixed bag as some players reported issues with freezing and lag. ![]()
