About the Game

AS OF APRIL 8, 2024, OFFICIAL SERVERS FOR CHIVALRY: MEDIEVAL WARFARE WILL BE SHUT DOWN.
Unofficial / private servers can be created by community members and may be available for public players to use. Offline play with AI is also available.

Besiege castles and raid villages in Chivalry: Medieval Warfare, a fast-paced medieval first person slasher with a focus on multiplayer battles. Featuring competitive online combat that seeks to capture the experience of truly being on a medieval battlefield. Inspired from the intensity and epicness of swordfighting movies such as 300, Gladiator and Braveheart, Chivalry: Medieval Warfare aims to bring that experience to the hands of a gamer.

The game is skill-based and controls like an FPS, but instead of guns and grenades, players are given swords, shields, maces, battleaxes and longbows. Set in a fictional, yet gritty and realistic world, players will fight in fast paced online battles besieging castles, raiding medieval villages and fighting for glory in the arena with up to 32 players.

Key Features:

  • Deep melee combat system provides players with a huge range of responsive combat options
  • Adjust your attacks and blocks in real time with the mouse for precise and full control of the action
  • Wield an arsenal of up to 60 brutal weapons ranging from broad swords and battle axes to longbows and javelins
  • Dynamic objective system brings team tactics and strategy to the forefront as players batter down gates, raid villages and assassinate enemy royalty to achieve victory.
  • Use a variety of siege weapons ranging from catapults, boiling oil, ballista, battering rams and more
  • Vast, lush environments that transport the player to a gritty and immersive medieval world.
  • Offline play options that allow players to gain familiarity with the controls and gameplay before being thrust into the action.

7/10 It was a really fun game, sadly its dead now, I would have recommended getting the second game but it is not being monitored for cheaters at all. Devs stopped monitoring for cheaters and the game is full of them...

Very fun FPS multiplayer sword play at start, but after some time I started to notice that, in most servers, there're players that seem to take advantage of some movement glitch or are just using cheats, making them

I reckon that OG Chiv is slightly better than its sequel, Chiv 2. A bit less arcadey, a bit more janky but with a higher skill ceiling, and an absolutely hilarious community (with surprisingly little toxicity). The

I’ve put more hours into this game than I probably should admit, and even now, it’s one of those games I look back on with nothing but good memories. Yeah, people call it a “dead game” now… but honestly, Chivalry isn’t

Chivalry: Medieval Warfare is a first-person multiplayer medieval slasher where players fight using swords, axes, bows, and other weapons in chaotic battlefield matches. While the game was good when it released, it

Great fun and a really good way to blow off some steam. Much like the name suggests, if you want to take part in some medieval warfare you've come to the right place. Definitely something I had a really fun time with
