The last in the group is the Archer and you know what they are good for – best at the back of the battle throwing arrows in and trying hard not to get noticed. Then you have the Footman, complete with long weapons like a pike to keep the enemies at a distance while they attack.

You can choose between four different classes of medieval warriors the Knight or a Vanguard who are basically the tank classes, with heavy armor and big bloody swords to swing about in the fight. It’s here where you get some training from a humorously gruff Sergeant of arms who takes you through the basics of what to expect. But before you chuck yourself into the affray, it’s highly recommended to spend some time with the tutorial first.

With Chivalry 2 though you choose a side – the Masons or the Agathians – who for some reason are locked into a permanent war against each other.

Chivalry 2 is the follow-up to the highly popular Chivalry: Medieval Warfare, a game that provided a multiplayer experience full of medieval madness.
