Torn Banner Studios has been busy working on the massive zombie survival game No More Room in Hell 2 lately, but, before it shifted attention to that project, the team put out Chivalry 2. The sequel to a 2012 game that brings the intense medieval battles of RTS games like Crusader Kings 3, Total War: Medieval 2, or Mount and Blade 2: Bannerlords into a more intimate, action-heavy focus, it serves as one of the most unique multiplayer projects to date. It’s now cheaper than ever to dig into the game for yourself, as Chivalry 2 is currently available at a steep discount on Steam.
A kind of low technology take on the multiplayer FPS game, Chivalry 2 is a deep but immediately enjoyable game that pits players against each other as soldiers in a fictional medieval war. Our review gave it an 8/10, saying that Chivalry 2’s “unswerving dedication to fun and goofiness makes it a rare treat in modern multiplayer gaming.”
Its mix of impactful combat, whose highlight is facing down enemies with melee weapons like swords or axes, and ludicrous, over-the-top presentation is excellent. Whether charging across a field on the back of a horse or screaming a war cry as clumps of soldiers stand around hacking at one another, Chivalry 2 is a good time for dedicated and less invested players alike.
Now is also a good time to give it a try. Chivalry 2 is 80% off on Steam until Thursday June 26, which makes it $7.99 USD / £7.19. Grab a copy right here.
