Age of Chivalry is a mod for Half-Life 2 , which was developed by Rikard Lindgren and Scott Chipman. Age of Chivalry is set in the fictional medieval kingdom of Agathia and depicts the conflict between two rival parties for the crown. The name of the game is derived from the English word for chivalry, Chivalry .
Gameplay
Age of Chivalry is basically only played in multiplayer mode. Two teams, the evil Mason Order and the good Agathia Knights, compete against each other. Originally a single player campaign was also planned, but this has not yet been implemented. The multiplayer battles are loosely related, but there is no progressive story.
At the beginning of each game, the player joins one of the two sides. Then he can choose from a total of nine classes. This includes long archers , but also nimble weapon carriers and heavily armored knights . The classes differ in terms of armament, hit points and speed and thus have a direct influence on the gaming experience.
Then, depending on the scenario and the chosen card, different goals have to be fulfilled. This can be about conquering or defending a castle, but also simply defeating all opponents. Game modes such as everyone against everyone and deathmatch are also implemented.
A special feature of Age of Chivalry is the combat controls. So it is possible for the player to attack the enemy with different types of sword blows or to block enemy blows. He can also grab a bow or crossbow and attack the enemy from a distance. The game is played exclusively from the first person perspective.
Depiction of violence
Age of Chivalry includes various depictions of violence. So it is possible to cut off heads and limbs of enemies. There are also scenarios in which unarmed farmers have to be killed. It is also possible to set other players on fire. With catapult bullets it is also possible to "shred" other players.
successor
On October 16, 2012, Chivalry: Medieval Warfare was released as a standalone game based on Unreal Engine 3 by Tom Banner Studios. An official version approved by the USK was released on June 20, 2014.
