Alongside Second Extinction
From now until April 20th, you can add Mordhau to your Epic account viaits store page. Once added, it’s yours to keep forever.
Mordhau has both spectacle and finesse and it works well when you’re charging across the mud against players on horseback in the midst of a hectic, 64-player castle siege, and when you’re fighting just one other person in tense, hard-scrabble duels. The swordplay is particularly sweet, rewarding those who learn to use momentum and directional attacks to break defences and skewer their enemies. Plus, there are pretty good bows and arrows, too. Ollie has aMordhau guidefor how to learn it yourself.
Matt Cox (RPS in peace) fell pretty hard for these sword fights and wrote a lot abouthis own exploits. He also wrote a lot about the exploits of its community, whether they werecontrolling it with a real frying panorplaying cricketormaking fan films.
If medieval warfare isn’t your thing, you can also pick upSecond Extinction for freeright now, too. It’s a first-person shooter about mincing dinosaurs with chain guns and space lasers.
