Mordhau

Several years ago, I was very intrigued by a game called Chivalry: Medieval Warfare. It was one of a handful of successful mods that arose from the Half-life series. One of my biggest complaints is that combat was very clunky and the learning curve was extremely high (think trying to master rocket science in a high school physics class). Regardless, it was one of the first first-person multiplayer medieval combat games out there. Its awkwardness and steep learning curve didn’t keep my attention for too long.

Enter Mordhau. I have never heard of Slovenian developer Triternion before, so my expectations were non-existent. Could you imagine if Electronic Arts or Activision made this game? Triternion utilizes the Unreal Engine 4 to its fullest. Melee combat games have always lagged behind their shooter counterparts, so the latest crack at a first-person multiplayer medieval combat game on an engine such as Unreal Engine 4 was overdue. You can primarily play online, but if you prefer playing against bots to practice, you can play offline as well. Want to learn to play better? You can even spectate matches and record gameplay.
