Hey Poor Player's Francis DiPersio writes - "Torn Banner Studios’ Chivalry: Medieval Warfare aims to pull gamers from today’s steady stream of modern online military shooters into a darker time. A time when a keen archer’s eye was the closest thing you had to a 10x magnified scope, and the mighty trebuchet was the only artillery that rained down on the battlefield. Originally released as a free mod for Valve’s Half-Life 2 under the name of Age of Chivalry, this Middle Aged melee certainly has its appeal, but a wealth of technical problems and a lack of overall polish prove to be a crippling arrow to the knee of this multiplayer-only experience at every turn."
Enterprising modders have changed the face of video games forever. Some mods have even gone on to become fantastic fully-fledged titles.
Recently, a leak in the Steam API allowed everyone to see some of the most accurate player counts available to date. While the information presented does not fully represent hard sales data, it does count every player that has played a game with achievements more than once on Steam.
While looking through the list we thought it would be interesting to see exactly how well indie games were doing compared to major releases.[…]
A fairly terrible list overall. The only excuse is that most of them are free-to-play games.
It's always strange to see what translates to mass appeal compared to what is objectively "better". I was surprised TF2 was at the top of the list overall (Other than the, once again, free-to-play status).
Today we're taking a look at 10 of the most realistic medieval games out there. No magic, no dragons, no elves, dwarves or any other fantasy creatures.
Shame it doesn't have too much polish. Could've been really good otherwise.
I have to commend the use of the arrow to the knee in this review :D
I bought it after reading some good reviews... gotta say its not very good. Maybe my mind will change, but for now its sluggish and uninteresting.
Bummer... I was thinking about diving in.
I appreciate the review and everyone's comments here.
It was good when I played on Mac.
