The gameplay is praised for its depth, realism, and variety, with well-designed maps that keep the experience fresh and engaging. Players appreciate the skill-based mechanics and innovative class system, although some find the complexity may deter new players. Overall, the gameplay is described as visceral, rewarding, and reminiscent of other successful melee games like Chivalry.
“Amazing indie game with so many little details, amazing gameplay, and it feels great overall.”
“It's a lot of fun; every round you will discover something new. There's depth in the gameplay and the same about the maps.”
“Each map offers a different type of gameplay, which is great for avoiding repetitiveness.”
“Just buy Mordhau; at least that has proper graphics and actual gameplay, not this thing.”
“I do not get how game developers think that implementing a mechanic to trick another person into parrying using unreadable animations will ever be viable!”
“I think the game is worth picking up on sale for like $19.99 or $29.99, with $60.00 being a little steep for a game of this caliber, often pushing away newer players with its overbearing in-depth mechanics.”
