MORDHAU
Overview: MORDHAU is a multiplayer medieval slasher game developed and published by Triternion in 2019 for PC (Windows). It focuses on intense, skill-based combat in large-scale battles, offering a blend of melee, ranged, and strategic gameplay elements.
Gameplay and Combat: MORDHAU features both third-person and first-person perspectives, emphasizing close combat with various medieval weapons like swords, axes, and polearms. Players can also utilize ranged weapons such as bows and crossbows, as well as operate siege weapons like catapults and ballistae. Combat mechanics are advanced, allowing players to pick up thrown weapons, kick down doors, or destroy catapult projectiles mid-air with well-aimed shots. The game also includes taunting gestures for players to express themselves on the battlefield.
Customization and Classes: Rather than traditional classes, MORDHAU offers a flexible loadout system. Players are allotted 16 points to spend on weapons, armor, and perks. This customization allows for a wide range of playstyles, from heavily armored knights to agile skirmishers. Perks such as Bloodlust, which restores health upon killing enemies, add strategic depth to character builds. Cosmetic customization is extensive, allowing players to modify armor appearances and even alter weapon components to create unique looks.
Game Modes: MORDHAU emphasizes multiplayer gameplay across several modes:
- Frontline: Large-scale battles where two teams of up to 32 players each compete to deplete the enemy’s respawn tickets.
- Deathmatch: Fast-paced combat with instant respawns where players aim to achieve the highest kill count.
- Battle Royale: A last-man-standing mode where players scavenge for equipment, eliminate opponents, and survive within a shrinking play area.
- Horde: Cooperative mode where players team up against waves of AI-controlled enemies, earning rewards for their performance.
Reception: MORDHAU received praise for its deep and satisfying melee combat mechanics, extensive customization options, and the variety of gameplay modes. Critics and players appreciated the fluidity of combat and the strategic depth offered by the loadout system. The game’s support for community-created content, including mods and custom maps, further enriched its appeal.
