Chivalry

Chivalry: Medieval Warfare is a multiplayer action title built around close-quarters brutality rather than ranged gunplay. You pick from four core classes, choose from a large armory of medieval weapons, and jump into chaotic matches where up to thirty-two players clash in objective sieges, arena brawls, and village raids. It is equal parts skill-based dueling and messy frontline mayhem, with plenty of blood to match its darkly comedic tone.
