Playing on the PS4 version with my brother did highlight just how much work has gone into making Chivalry 2 work across all generations. However, not everyone has the convenience of installing two versions which is sure to cause frustration for a lot of squads. Digital purchases from PSN include both the PS4 / PS5 versions, which individually total at around 12gb each.

If you’re looking to join your friends on PS4 from your Xbox / PC / PS5, you’ll need to be playing on the same platform as them.
Unfortunately, cross-play is not yet functioning as intended. This same concept of conversation has been prevalent throughout the closed/open beta phase of release too.

It may be an obvious statement, but given the good willed nature of Torn Banner Studios and their plan to implement free post launch content, it is nice to have somewhat of a back-and-forth with the developers. It should be noted that when given the option to purchase this currency, it is indicated that this option is primarily available as a sign of support for the studio. Alternatively, “Crowns” can be purchased with real money through the PSN store to acquire specific items earlier. From engraved long-swords to valiant armor designs, the choices available can achieved naturally via leveling up and saving your in-game currency. Speaking of rewards, character customization is back with more depth.Īs there are no pay-to-win scenarios within Chivalry 2, customization is all about the aesthetic qualities of your chosen class. Had the Chivalry franchise taken a more serious approach, the results might not be as rewarding. The loose, essentially parody vision of medieval times ties this wonderful world together. Without fail, each spawn into the map will always see your teammates scream to the high heavens.
Double tap square to be greeted by the comically brilliant emote options. Adding an extra layer of fun filled immersion is the return of “battlecry”. This is how Chivalry 2 remains fun for hours on end with such a simple yet effective gameplay loop. This is how it really went down in medieval times.Įven in Free-For-All, there is never really a sense that dying is achieved by exploiting the games principals. Equally, losing these fights never feels like it was unfair and highlights just how balanced combat currently is. Managing multi-person fights in a bid to show your dexterity and might is incredible. The thrill of raiding the heir’s throne room (should your team get this far), adds to the feeling of wielding sheer strength. Most maps involve the overtaking of a castle or village area, with various sub-objectives delegated within. Depending on whether you’re an Agatha or Mason player, you’ll be cast into a defending or attacking position. Orchestrated with “team objectives” in mind, the massive scale modes drop players into gorgeous, richly detailed maps split into progressively accessible sectors. The bread and butter of multiplayer is fleshed out over large forty to sixty four player conquest orientated modes. It can be initially frustrating to finesse the correct dragging and positioning of your blade, but once this hurdle is overcome, a whole world of gore-tastic possibilities are available. Through the hilarious opening tutorial, players will immediately begin to see the easy-to-learn-hard-to-master approach presented. Defeating your enemies is comprised of three attack types, complimented by blocking and feinting. The how of making this possible, is where the complexity of combat comes into place. Thankfully, Chivalry 2 is an exceptional transition to consoles this time round.Ĭhivalry 2 is simple really: hack and slash your foes into a red mist of limbs. With questionable results yielded from their previous console foray, there is a sense of caution going into this next-gen iteration. Following up the 2012 hit Chivalry: Medieval Warfare, Torn Banner Studios have been hard at work for the last eight years to ensure the notion of a sequel was worthy. Or your head was squashed like a watermelon. From the respect of a fair maiden to the heat of battle, medieval warfare forged legends. Traits of a hero destined for greatness, claiming the spoils of victory. There was a time when honor and courage were something more. (Warning: this review contains images of a gory nature)
