Chivalry 2 for PC is, despite its honourable sounding name, a multi-player slash and hack game, filled with gore and satisfying vicarious violence.

This game is the sequel to Chivalry: Medieval Warfare which was released in 2012. Perspective is either first- or third- person (you choose), and weapons tend to be up close and personal melee weapons (which include sledgehammers, swords, battle axes) although there are distance weapons (like archers) too.

There are two sides to any battle and they will either be Agatha Knights in light blue and white uniforms or the Mason Order in vibrant red and black. The two are always at loggerheads and once you have picked a side, it is very easy to tell who is on your side and who is not!

During the game, make sure you look out for weapons’ caches on the map so you can restock your arms or upgrade them. Combat is quite simple, consisting of three basic moves: a horizontal slash, a vertical slash, and a stab, which can be combined to interesting effect. As well as this, enemy moves can be parried and if you get the timing right it can be a beautiful sight.
