Parrying, feinting, missing attacks, and successfully blocking drains stamina from a bar. Players can kick or shield-bash unless they are using a projectile weapon to do a very small amount of damage that breaks blocks and leaves the hit target open for a follow-up. Weapons can be raised for a short amount of time to parry after which they will be lowered - only when you have a shield can you block for an extended amount of time. Attacks can be feinted with another button while the swing is being wound-up to throw off enemies. Different attacks can be combined together by performing them quickly before your swing is finished striking. Melee combat consists of a medium-speed side-to-side slash, a slower and more damaging overhead strike, and the fastest and farthest-reaching stab which is also the weakest. Archers use either javelins, crossbows, or longbows Men at Arms use swords, maces, axes, and shields Vanguards use polearms and greatswords, and Knights use battleaxes, war hammers, and other heavy weapons potentially along with heavier shields. The players have a choice of one of four classes, an Archer, a Man-at-Arms, a Vanguard, or a Knight, with each having a differing amount of equipment available. That's about the extent of it before we get into its competitive multiplayer. The game is set in the fictional kingdom of Agatha, where a civil war has begun between the Mason Order and the Agatha Knights. Chivalry: Medieval Warfare is a medieval warfare game developed by Torn Banner Studios, and is a spiritual successor to the Age of Chivalry game mod for Half-Life 2.
