Mordhau has for sure really good fight mechanics and the medi eval theme is well created.
I really like the weapon variation, every weapon feels different and has his own unique skins. The maps are good designed but theres not as nearly as much as in chivalry. However my major point, which gave me the idea to give this game a negative review, was the fight in the high lvl/competitiv. The game has a duel mode where you can fight 1v1 and climb ranks from bronze to elite. The problem: Its totally broken and not fun. If you manage to climb up and fight against high rank player its all about gambling and feinting. The feinting system was already broken in chivalry, but i have the feeling that it has much more impact in mordhau. The thing is that feinting wouldnt even really work in real life, so why do they have to add this? I dont know. I could live with the feinting system but they shuld really add a penalty like more stamina loss after failed feint. Also the fights, especially in high ranks, dont even look good, like i mentioned the total use of feints look weird and unnatural. Its not a fantasy game:/ Another point is the bad matchmaking in rank mode. If you have bad luck you can see yourself fight against a player 3 ranks above yours, like me. Luckily you cant lose many points if you lose against someone fairly higher than you, but its still an absolute no go! If they wouldnt drag the game in the competitiv direction, without balancing and polishing it right, maybe I would give it a good review. And the game has its really good moments, the community is funny, the mods are cool and the whole weapon variation is just great. The game has big potential and I hope they add more maps, weapons etc. but at this point cosidering the "competitiv" I have to give it sadly a bad review.
Btw the game is really addictiv like chivalry was, thats why I have about 450 hrs of playtime.
I really looking for forward to change my opinion!
