Kind of a funny and fun game. Extremely intuitive and takes A LOT to be an expert at it.
(28 hours on Steam)
=================================================
Controls/Gameplay - The controls are basic but difficult to master combos and proper crit hits. The skill ceiling is high and it is unforgiving for 95% of new players so they'll have to endure the endless slaughter at the beginning.

However, it is a fun game even for its intuitive mechanics. Can be extremely funny as well as chaos erupts literally everywhere.

Graphics & Sound - Decent graphics which aren't too abusing for a standard PC. Sound design is well made.

Story - No story, just slaughter

Characters - Nothing to take note

Replayability - Not necessarily a story based game so play it whenever you want.

Overall - 3.5/5

Mordhau is a precise, strategic medieval combat game where at its core can be a fun if not challenging experience, only somewhat let down by high ranking players who exploit and abuse attack animations and mechanics that make it a total nightmare for new and experienced players. This is a problem the developers who were fans of Chivalry, a game that had the exact same issues wanted to address and fix have not bothered with over the span of 4 years since the initial release. This in turn has forced newcomers and long existing players to back out of the experience. To be clear I'm not bashing the combat system overall as when you're in confrontation with players who play skillfully and fairly, it really is engaging, testing and fun. Another primary reason for people abandoning the game is due to a lack of regular content updates and the reported toxicity of the community over the years (I kept my chat box off from the start for a reason.)


So apart from the odd frustrations, there are good aspects to Mordhau. You can customize your own "mercenaries" where you can create unique and stylized soldiers with different weapons, armour sets, utilities, traits and feature options. If you've been playing a long time, you'll know the most iconic character is a bald, naked man wielding a maul yelling "charge!" in a high pitched, Foppish voice. Maps are interesting, immersive and well designed, ranging from the narrow cities of Feitoria where close quarter battles are more fierce to the open land of the Crossroads.

In regards to player interactions (I've only played on official servers), people can be outright hilarious at times which is one of the reasons I kept playing. The exchange of apt emote responses, amusing interactions with enemies and allies, and the bards who play some banging tunes that we can dance to. So it's not all bad when you can hop into a server where everyone can make the experience a good time.

Vou repetir oq muitos já disseram: Este jogo tem uma comunidade incrível.

Não por causa da criação de mapas, os mods ou outras ideias de jogos multiplayer famosos. Este jogo brilha em como todos os jogadores reagem entre si durante a gameplay, criando regras, formas de insultar o oponente e formas novas de se aproveitar das mecânicas do jogo. Claro q pode ser complicado vc entender e se adaptar a gameplay, vc vai tomar muita porrada no início, mas com o tempo vc entende como ela funciona e vai melhorando a cada partida, além de ter momentos únicos em toda partida, desde jogadores usando a catapulta como pula-pula, até jogadores esquecendo totalmente da batalha e se juntando para ouvir a bela canção do bardo.

Já vi de tudo nesse jogo q não tinha nada de especial ao meu ver, mas q foi criado por todos os jogadores q quiseram fazer algo a mais doq só um jogo de guerra medieval, e oq o tornou tão memorável e único.

Mordhau is a very fun and sometimes frustrating game. The skill ceiling is high, and veteran players will rarely if ever hold back on you. However, if you hang in there you'll eventually be able to have loads of fun.

There's also Horde mode if you don't feel like fighting against Human opponents. In this game mode you fight off waves of AI enemies alone or with some strangers/friends.

The community ranges from trash heap (probably the majority) to pretty chill and sweet, so don't be afraid to use the mute function on toxic players.
