    Masterful combat, a heap of interactive elements, and delightfully indulging gore all interweave to create something close to a masterpiece.

    When it sinks its fangs into you, Mordhau has dozens of hours worth of head chopping, arrow shooting, character customizing, build testing, and lute playing to offer.

    High skill cap melee combat is equally rewarding and daunting, though the archery and support roles could use some work.

    Mordhau is a slap in the face and a pleasure at every moment. Much more than a spiritual sequel to Chivalry, it's an exciting game. Deep, easy to understand but difficult to master, it's a breath of fresh air for video games.

    Mordhau is like a spiritual successor of Chivalry. Its cleverly-designed combat system and its Frontline mode will give you many, many hours of fun.

    Mordhau in the best hack 'n slash online game on the market, with some limits.

    On paper, Mordhau could look like any medieval brawler as we have seen for years. But in reality, it knows how to stand out with a combat system that is halfway between the arcade game and the realistic one, and a rather advanced personalization. We only regret the low number of cards and game modes, hoping that it will be completed in the near future via a few updates. However, everything is counterbalanced by a chubby humour that hits the target and will give you (at least) a few dozen hours of fun, with or without friends.

Loads of gameplay, network,TL DR: Mordhau is a niche game, with a very specific target audience and criminally inhospitable to new players. Loads of gameplay, network, performance issues, each one individually is enough for me to decide it was a bad purchase.

    I was under the impression this was a casual friendly game. It's the exact opposite. Mordhau has to be the most beginner hostile game ever. That's because the majority of it's player base, are veterans with long experience on this genre, put against first timers. No matchmaking system whatsoever! So if a beginner makes it past that 0.3 k/d ratio streak for days, going from spawn to his death over and over, good for him. Most don't.
    They implemented those awful mechanics, known as dragging and accelerating which manipulate the swing animation making it impossible to read and counter. In addition, manipulated animations look absolutely ridiculous. High end players will twist their spines while facing the ground and somehow still put that blade between your eyes. They will spam the laugh emote while at it.
    In regards of performance, I had to turn everything off and lower every setting, in order to not sink under 60 fps (midrange PC). But I still get some awful stutters during combat. Network issues are present as well, which according to the community, are completely ignored. In my case things are even worse. Even though I live in EU, the closest server is far from close, keeping my ping way above 80ms most of the times.
    Don't get fooled by the no micro transactions, no paid dlcs bait. Most of the beginners/ casuals quit after 40 hours of gameplay.    … Expand
