Check out this new feature that aims to convince you why you should give Torn Banner Studios' hack-and-slash title Chivalry: Medieval Warfare a shot.
Enterprising modders have changed the face of video games forever. Some mods have even gone on to become fantastic fully-fledged titles.
From RPS: "Going into my chat with Steve Piggott and Rasmus Löfström of Torn Banner Studios, I thought I had a reasonable grasp of the developer’s trajectory up to that point. After finding success in 2012 with their breakout hit Chivalry: Medieval Warfare, Torn Banner had gone on to compose the difficult second album Mirage: Arcane Warfare – an Arabian Nights-inspired take on Chivalry’s multiplayer melee combat. Mirage had not been as well-received as Chivalry, yet despite this stumbling block, the studio had found its feet again with Chivalry 2, a souped-up sequel to their earlier work with more nuanced combat, bigger maps, and support for 64-player battles.
It turns out that, while broadly correct, I wildly underestimated Torn Banner’s reversal of fortunes. In the five years between the launch of Mirage and Chivalry 2’s impending Steam release, Torn Banner has gone from a studio on the brink to being more successful than its leadership ever imagined."
Chivalry 2 is a goretastic medieval romp, with stellar combat and endless fun. Sam discusses Torn Banner Studios' hit follow-up.
