Is Chivalry Medieval Warfare Any Good?

Class selection

Chivalry is a Medieval take on FPS. While there is a third person mode the game is primarily first person. Chivalry is a PVP hack and slash more than an FPS. The primarily melee combat works well with three different kinds of swings. The basic swing which is easy to hit and does alright damage, the slower harder to hit overhand swing that devastates opponents, especially with heavier weapons and the thrust which does damage similar to the basic swing however it has more distance and less width. All of these attacks can be blocked by weapons or shields  however the kick cannot be blocked. The kick is a powerful tool especially against those who rely too heavily on their shield. There are several different classes within chivalry all of which have their own strengths and weaknesses. My preferred class the knight has the most health and damage output but because of their heavy armour is also the slowest with the least stamina. Then comes the vanguard, while they do not possess the same tank like nature that a knight has they have a charge ability that no other class has and the most range by far. Then comes the Man at arms. While the man at arms has little to no armour whatsoever they may find them self being killed by single overhead swings however this is put off by the sheer speed of the man at arms compared to all other classes they also have a dash ability that all others lack.

The heat of battle

While the combat can be occasionally infuriating and the hit-boxes can be wonky I still enjoy it a ton. Overall I enjoy chivalry though it has serious problems at the higher levels I have mostly played with friends and had lot's of fun. It only takes one person taking the game too seriously and being a "ballerina" to ruin the fun so public matches can be increadibly frustrating, especially because they are the only way to level up and unlock new weapons.

Killing enemies results in brutal decapitations

Conclusion

Chivalry can be as much unpleasant as it is pleasant. With a good group of friends you would be hard pressed to find a much  better game, however if you are in a lobby with the wrong people you may end up fuming with little to show for being so. Overall I would recommend Chivalry to somebody that is either looking for a more casual experience or has friends that already play.
