    The pro's:

    - Finally a medieval fight game on the PS4! - Playing as a team can be very satisfying. - There is some freedom in how your strikes will be performed (drag) - You can cancel a strike or face the other way in order to avoid hitting team mates. - There are 4 types of warriors with their own weapons and fighting style. - There is a decent variation in area's to fight in. -    The pro's:

    - Finally a medieval fight game on the PS4!
    - Playing as a team can be very satisfying.
    - There is some freedom in how your strikes will be performed (drag)
    - You can cancel a strike or face the other way in order to avoid hitting team mates.
    - There are 4 types of warriors with their own weapons and fighting style.
    - There is a decent variation in area's to fight in.
    - You can make your character shout like a crazy barbarian!
    - Playing this game makes you feel like you are in a good old Ivanhoe movie.

    The con's:

    - The vote kick system is very annoying, since mostly the players that get voted to kick are not bad sport players.
    - In almost every match there is at least one player who starts attacking his own team mates.
    - Players with high ping make the game very laggy.
    - You need to look up on the internet how to do special moves in order to be able to compete with higher ranked players, otherwise you wont stand a chance.
    - There are a lot of glitches in the game where you can get stuck in a wall or dead players are spinning around, for instance.    … Expand

    I love this game! Been waiting for it to come out on PS4 for a long time. Easily one of the most unique and satisfying mutiplayer games this year. Don't waste your money on CoD or Battlefront, this here is a multiplayer game actually worth playing in 2015!

    This game is 20 dollars and have offered me more fun than most triple A games this year i have played! The combat system is pretty deep and tactical when you get a hang of how it works. There are some bugs and glitches though. Team killing is also a problem. Other than that it is amazing!

    Really great game for short term fun!
    Its becomes apparent this port wasn't really optimized on consoles, especially in regards of outdated graphics, framerate issues and lacking introduction to new players.
    However after getting familiar with the solid variation of game modes, console players will quickly adapt and overlook most of these problems. A single player mode is playable as    Really great game for short term fun!

    However after getting familiar with the solid variation of game modes, console players will quickly adapt and overlook most of these problems. A single player mode is playable as well, but my experience is generally based on the extensive multiplayer.
    Classic modes like Free for All or Team Deathmatch as well as Objective Based gameplay or Duell Mode might require a few matches to find ones personal playstyle under the great variety of class and weapon options that are all unlocked without leveling up. A few microtransactions for weapons and character customization exists, though so far I could only make out a cosmetic difference and no pay-to-win advantages.
    The game series had been around on PC for a couple of years with a ton of extra content possibly still in development on consoles, so if you love the gameplay you'll look forward to additional stuff in the future.
    Considering the 20$ pricetag, gamers new to the franchise get a great value of short term online fun for their money, with similar more content on the way. 8/10    … Expand

    It won't be dislodging your go-to online game from the play queue any time soon. [Feb 2016, p.90]

    Despite his age, Chivalry Medieval Warfare is still bugged and raw.

    Chivalry: Medieval Warfare's concept is intriguing, but technical problems, clunky controls and a mediocre presentation make for a pretty terrible experience. Shame.
