The rag doll physics are still present, adding in some humor to certain deaths. This helps it feel even more visceral in battles and makes the decapitations and maiming more satisfying.

Even horse mounted combat didn’t make it into the base game. Chivalry 2 tightens up its own combat nicely and adds some more map interactivity, but offers nothing deeper for returning warriors. It felt familiar, yet offered a layer of mastery that was rewarding. Mordhau took the combat from the first Chivalry and added additional depth to it.

However, Torn Banner is looking to take back the genre they started and provide an experience like no other. Chivalry’s popularity spawned some copycats that looked to enhance the genre, like Mordhau which I really enjoyed.
