    Поиграл не понравилось, как по мне она не стоит своих денег не понятно как нормально играть, когда тебе нужно много ударов чтобы убить врага то врагам часто достаточно всего 1 удара. выиграть за атакующих очень легко а за защищающихся практически не возможно времени слишком многоПоиграл не понравилось, как по мне она не стоит своих денег не понятно как нормально играть, когда тебе нужно много ударов чтобы убить врага то врагам часто достаточно всего 1 удара. выиграть за атакующих очень легко а за защищающихся практически не возможно времени слишком много

    I have almost 1k hours in this game so its quite sad to see that bad choices of devs drove this game to the ground, its literally dead now with 1 full server (at best), that is always dominated by the same people.

    Mordhau honestly has to be the best medieval fighting game I've ever played. Great weapon variety, lots of special perks you can choose, cool armor you can wear, and you can even use a pan to beat people to death. If that doesn't sound fun to you, I don't know what is.

    The game is great love the combat, gameplay and the game itself is beautiful.

    Game it´s dead now, don´t waste your time and money... there is only Viceous Tryhards left and the game it´s very indie, don´t flow like a AAA, and cause of that your K/D will be the worst ever... just like old COD games after 3 years...

    Amazing game. Best melee fighting physics that I have ever seen in a game yet. Great balancing of all classes and weapon types. A lot better than Chivalry 2 in my opinion. Check it out if you like medieval fighting games!

    After 700+ hr in game I can tell you that this game is fun... but it's not a competitive game. It's broken, unbalanced and it will never be fully fixed. I would recommend it for ocasional trolling and casual play tho. (Update: this game is almost dead, only veterans are playing it now, don't waste your money on this)

    An interesting take on the medieval FPS genre, although one that still failed to provide a gameplay that appeals to both casuals and pros and finally break the bubble of it's niche. Ultimately it's a game that's only fun for the die-hard players that put hundreds of hours into it, and even then it still has it's cheap, "this feels like an exploit" moments.

    Played for almost 800 hours, frustrating unfun 99% of the time, high level gameplay is extremely unfun. Do not recommend.

    Devs are also Sh** (basically a meme in the playerbase), I finally uninstalled on Chiv 2's release after being kicked by an official server admin/playtester for messing around. Game also has huge racist playerbase and no black/dark skin options.

    Que se puede decir de uno de los mejores juegos en su género por no decir el mejor por el momento, un juego difícil de dominar exigente y además divertido, unos gráficos más que cumplidores y con una comunidad muy activa, varios modos de juego... En fin que es un Juegazo de los que hoy en día no quedan.

    Have > 200 hours in the game. Over a year ago they "reworked" shield mechanics, and they have been pretty terrible ever since. In order to raise held shield block, the player must hold the 'change weapon mode' button (default R) for an extended period of time. Unfortunately, this is also the "throw your weapon button". There is no way to change this.

    Mordhau may not be an original game since almost all its ideas were borrowed from Chivalry: Medieval Warfare. But this is a case where the spiritual successor made the original completely redundant. Chivalry was fun for a while, until you discovered the glitches which you could exploit for unfair advantage against your enemies. Mordhau fixes all that. It can be summarized as Chivalry withMordhau may not be an original game since almost all its ideas were borrowed from Chivalry: Medieval Warfare. But this is a case where the spiritual successor made the original completely redundant. Chivalry was fun for a while, until you discovered the glitches which you could exploit for unfair advantage against your enemies. Mordhau fixes all that. It can be summarized as Chivalry with modern graphics and superior & fair gameplay. You can also customize your class and explore different armor / weapon / perk combinations. If you are casual, it is easy to pick up and play. If you are competitive, the skill ceiling is very high and you can dominate other players with your skill. Mordhau is great fun whether you take it seriously or treat it as a casual game to chop some heads off. It is great for stress relief, since some medieval melee combat can be exactly what you need when you are frustrated. At the same time, it can also be stressful due to its intense gameplay. Your mood will define your experience in Mordhau.

    The biggest flaw is the lack of map variety. For a game that came out in 2019 and that is still popular, it definitely deserves more maps. And that is the only part, where Mordhau is a step back from Chivalry.

    More visually stunning than most AAA games while also running smooth as butter with around 100-144 fps on a 2080 Super. The combat is out of this world and puts every melee focused one to shame out there, heck even archery is fun as hell while also adding some skill requirement. It's pretty much the Counter-Strike of Medieval games. If it had a Campaign it would be a solid 10/10.

    It'd be a dis-service for you to not pick up this title. I personally hate medieval type games but this one? One of the best games of 2019. That sleep Chivalry started it and are trying to make a second one but Mordhau? Took everything from it, and transformed it into a beautiful game. I'm not even interested in Chivalry 2 anymore, then again, they did ruin it with EGS. Hope they fail.It'd be a dis-service for you to not pick up this title.

    Mordhau I hope goes cross-platform too as well. Although might want to work on some optimizations first.

    "It's fun. Great melee combat system, plain and simple yet hard to master."

    The Good: Malee combat system, funny community, only 20 bucks
    The Okay: offline with AI (not meant to be played), graphic
    The Bad: Lagging issue, damage from some weapons are questionable

    I've got around 300 hours in mordau and literally just got banned for an hour blocking a door for 20-30 secs, with multiple routes around me and we were 300 tickets up about to win with no warning by some admin. There's no system to contest this ban, or report the abuse that I know of, next best thing? write a **** review complaining about it.
    What sort of rampant admin abuse is that    I've got around 300 hours in mordau and literally just got banned for an hour blocking a door for 20-30 secs, with multiple routes around me and we were 300 tickets up about to win with no warning by some admin. There's no system to contest this ban, or report the abuse that I know of, next best thing? write a **** review complaining about it.
    What sort of rampant admin abuse is that where you can just have one salty dude ban you from ALL Official matches at whim, how does that help the player base grow? Gross admin abuse is real. If you don't like the fact people can camp and block doors why did you make that a thing in an update? You couldn't do that until the developers made it possible in the updates.

    Fun game honestly incredibly high skill ceiling combat system, but the fact it's so toxic and admin abuse is this strong kinda ruins any potential to have fun. You can have dudes literally being completely racist in every lobby with not a SINGLE kick happening from users or admins, yet I hadn't typed for over for over 10 mins, or team killed ) got banned for an hour, for blocking a door for 30 seconds when there was multiple routes around me and we were 300 tickets up and about to win. 10/10 system. (Team damage is on at all times pretty much which usually means if u dont know how to control your sword swings properly you're probably gonna swipe a few team mates here and there, and that is usually what gets people kicked, but this wasn't even that.) I wish I knew about all this **** before I got into the game, cus at core the gameplay is fun as hell, but a complete waste of time when this sorta stuff happens, regretting getting into it.

    As a new player I wouldn't waste your time, the people in control of this game aren't good at their jobs. There's YouTube vids out there from the mordhau community literally putting the owner of the game on blast for very questionable balancing and refusal to listen to community feedback for most things.

    They have an interesting weight system some weapons cost a huge 20+ weight and still take 2/3 hits to kill, yet they have weps like the cleaver for 3 weight and it can 1 shot anyone with lower then medium armour helmets, 2 shot with high armour. Use you will most likely have shorter range but in the middle of a giant 40 v 40 battle that barely means anything when you get 3v1'd and insta killed by someone coming at u from the side with a cleaver, and who needs range when you can have a stupid build like having full armour, cleaver and "bloodlust" perk which gives you full hp on every kill you get, so just swing wildly and run at people and occasionally you'll just get a 10 player killstreak out of nothing but pure wild swinging and running up close to the enemies while they're mid fight so they cant keep distance away from you. Yeah it's kinda fun at first but any long term playability in this game comes down to a skill based system, which with the way they've balanced weapons is non existent for the most part.

    But honestly just the fact I've been banned for an hour no warning, and I did nothing actually wrong is just the icing on the cake, nothing kills motivation for a game like being kicked off the game by admins when you're tryna get into it.

    It's a solid 9/10 or 10/10 game if you like sword combat and giant war game modes, but the fact it's run in such a way brings the whole game down to a 3.    … Expand

    Mordhau is basically two games in one: on one hand, it has a complex fighting system with feints, ripostes and so on. On the other – you can forget about all that fancy dueling stuff and just charge in with your halberd, hoping to chop off a few heads before losing your own. [Issue#239, p.62]

    Mordhau is not for those who want a multiplayer experience that’s easy to drop into and utterly destroy foes. However, the joy of mastering its challenging system as well as memorable moments of violent ballet make these engrossing battles unique.

    Mordhau is tough, violent, beautiful, and doesn't pull its punches. Despite an intense learning curve that could be better alleviated with more tutorials or better practice tools, its supreme swordplay and combat mechanics eventually outshine any initial frustration. The scale of battle is overwhelming and chaotic, but there's a definite sense to all the nonsense that, once you uncover it, gives you an incredible rush every time you go toe-to-toe with the enemy--even if you don't come out the other side intact.
