Mordhau VS Chivalry 2 | Which Is Better? 2023

When it comes to medieval fps two games get brought up. Mordhau and Chivalry 2, and depending on who you ask one or the other is better, but the question I would like to ask today is which is better? Mordhau is famous for its community that is competitive, goofy, and really good at modding. Chivalry 2 is a newer game that does what you buy it to do, it has a really good combat loop that is satisfying to play. But when put together which one reigns supreme? Find out in todays video!

Yoo! Those of you who liked this video should watch my most recent video on The Outer worlds 👀

[@TheNorthlander]

I agree, Chiv is more polished, but in the end Mordhau keeps me around because of the immaculate vibes of it's customisation. We have Vikings and Landsknechts fighting side by side, tons of crazy weapons from across different eras, and there is definitely something here for all history fans.

[@TheTrueTato]

I didn’t even think about the history aspect, thanks for bringing it up to me!

I still remember watching "War of the Roses vs Chivalry" by John Bain/Cynnicalbrit.This video really reawakened some deep memories & I wasn't expecting that.

[@azureprophet]

I think that a lot of people confuse a skill floor with a skill ceiling. Morhau has a very high skill floor, but it remains to be seen how high the ceiling is in Chiv 2. Level 300-1000 players will win 95-100% of duels vs low level players in Chivalry.

[@marc7817]

that's true, but the difference, if you are low level with a spear on chiv 2, just following mates, you can rank amongst the greatest lol, for casual and beginners it's a lot more rewarding

[@ballpoint7887]

mordhau definitely has a higher skill ceiling, especially before they started implementing changes to make it easier for casuals. Mordhau was built to be competitive, chivalry 2 was not.

[@maboilaurence8227]

in Chiv2 low level players get destroyed, in Mordhau the moment a lvl 200 player looks at your direction your entire PC takes fire.

A level 30 cannot even compare to a level 100 what your saying is with all games not with chiv new players cannot beat experienced players in ANY game

lvl 200's in mordhau always do the weirdest shit to hit you like a triple-double-fakeout-morph until they catch you lacking and that's when they one shot you with a fucking maul while laughing maniacally, mordhau's combat is definitely more complex than chivalry, but the blocking in chiv 2 is actually much better than mordhaus

[@nocturnaljoe9543]

@@asphaltshingles8594 Some things have been named in the clip, but the main reason is really that Mordhau makes me laugh all the time. It is full of magic moments of that I can only find a very few in chiv. People in Mordhau value a good laugh over a k*ll. They will hit their own people if they see them attack a bard, who is playing the knight rider theme. All while an afro dwarf with a giant hammer is desperatley trying to hit a lev1 dude, who is actually a pro player with a new account and dodging every single attack and defeating 20 people in a row by throwing pans, pumpkinis and little stones at them.

[@jackyjack472]

across both genres I have at least 1000 hours, and your verdict makes sense, Mordhau can be pretty toxic because of it's playerbase, but some servers are pretty alright and goofy. Chivalry is far easier to get into because the combat is less demanding and forgiving compared to the timed parry gameplay that mordhau has (which was taken from chivalry 1). chivalry 2 made the changes to represent it's focus. which was not to be a competitive rebound from chivalry 1, but a casual slasher with character and charm which is why people became interested in chivalry 1 until they got out of the beginner 1-10 level servers and got bombarded by chiv veteran players.

[@TheTrueTato]

I agree with you 100%, they both have their quirks but chivalry 2 ultimately applies to more people than mordhau does.

[@Shortay1325]

I at least stood a chance in Chiv 1. I got pretty decent in Chiv 1 and had a lot of fun even when I got out of the beginner servers. I can hardly touch so many higher level players in Mordhau. Almost every match I play, I am not just getting dominated by 1 or a few people. It's always like 10+ people that are doing these crazy swing manipulations and I can't even touch them without my head rolling on the floor. I am absolutely buying Chiv 2 because I can't take the sweaty play in Mordhau. I'm just looking to have a mostly casual good time instead of getting frustrated most nights I play Mordhau.

[@crumpetcommandos779]

i played a lot of chiv 1 and a bit of chiv 2 but for me it's gotta be mordhau. It's just way smoother and less restrictive but I love the visual design for chiv 2

Only Mordhau has the *"HAVE AT THEM BOOOOIS!"* feels.

[@Brahim0801]

The worst thing about Mordhau is actually the people who play it.

[@liao2211]

I’ve played both games, and for honor. I think mordhau’s base gameplay is a lot more like for honor when it comes down to the mindset. Barring for honor’s guard wheel, you kinda have to adopt a more for honor sense of playing with reads and usually aggressors being having the advantage. With Chiv you have a flow of combat where you move flows into the next more seamlessly into the next than in Mordhau. you kind of have to plan each move individually and think about it more. Chivalry tho is a lot more casual, and fun for me. I couldn’t choose tbh, it’s kind of an even split and I’d still play both games anyways. For honor tho is another beast entirely.

[@pardolagames8994]

That explains why Mordhau is so much ass tbh For Honor was even asser, so how could a game with similar mindset be any different? I fucking hate that "Reading" mindset in games. I don't want to Read, I want to React. Fuck gambling. If I wanted to Read, I'd play a strategy game, not an *ACTION* game (just to be bashed and dodge attacked 6 times in a row)

[@Joshrouss]

I'm torn with this one, I personally feel like when it's not being abused that mordhau has a vastly better combat system however it seems the devs just never want to listen to player feedback and have made the game so unapproachable to new players

[@rox3843]

i started playing a week and half ago, and I see what you mean. The start was an absolute nightmare, but I stuck with it. The game has become much easier since then, but I can imagine a lot of new players would probably just give up with how hard it is. Also, I didn't even know Chivalry 2 was a game lol.

[@jjames093]

I am fairly decent chiv 2 player, can easily do top 10 players in a game. Would I struggle at mordhau? Or would it be a fairly easy transition after I learn controls

@@jjames093 it definitely helps a lot with fundimentals, you will just have to get used to dodging with your mouse more if you don't already

[@Shortay1325]

@@jjames093 Yeah you probably would struggle. I’m a good Chiv 1 player and I still greatly struggle in Mordhau. Yes I only have 15 hours, but the main problem is that most/all servers have many very high level players that abuse morphs so you can’t even tell what they are doing. Then you are suddenly dead on the ground not knowing how the heck they even hit you. I can very rarely block hits from those people because parrys are already harder than Chiv games. I used to be near top of the leaderboards in Chiv 1 almost every match but that’s definitely not the case in Mordhau. I’m lucky to get any positive K/D. I’m buying Chiv 2 soon because I’m at the point I’m getting more frustrated in Mordhau than having fun.

[@XMysticHerox]

I played both and most stuff translates quite well (with both being based on Chiv 1). The inability to hold block and how hard counters (eg chambering) are will take a bit of time to get down though. @@jjames093

[@sathien9158]

I love medieval settings, I've played a lot of RTS in the past to find these vibes and lately I've spent more than 800 hours on For Honor side knights. And chivalry 2 guys.. It gives me those medieval vibes like no other game I have played so far (30+ gamer). I love and appreciate the passion that modders give to certain games, but often the mods I look for in games are to make them more "medieval". So I think I found my natural habitat in Chivalry 2 for all these reasons. Also for me the pve/horde mode is not something that interests .. I'd rather play a story-driven game for a while and then go back to doing PvP battles. I envy Mordhau only for customization, but this would also take away a bit of immersion because with a total customization obviously people play a bit (and if possible it is also right that it is so!) I would do everything in order to match the setting but I understand that they would not all do so ruining the immersion for me ^^ I WANT THOSE GAME IN VR!

[@TheTrueTato]

Fair enough, there’s something simple yet elegant about medieval esthetic

[@Shortay1325]

You really aren't missing out on the customization. I come from many hours and fun on Chivalry 1. I got decent at that game and had a lot of fun over the years. Because Chiv 1 has become quite dead, I bought Mordhau some months ago. I already can't do it anymore. I have given it many chances but I am about to buy Chiv 2. The amount of insane players doing all these crazy feinting into unblockable swing manipulations is... nearly all the time, every match, large scale objective battles, you name it. It's everywhere. Sure, I have some decent matches on Mordhau but I get frustrated way more often than truly having fun. I never got this feeling on Chiv 1. I would rather take a game that I have a chance of having fun and sacrifice some customizability. Chiv 2, here I come!

[@cougar9610]

Fun to actually play for the game is Chivalry. Mordhau is basically a medieval outfit creator, since the actual combat is BS

[@limemason]

I like how the fact that attack almost always steamrolls defense in Chivalry II is actually canon in the lore

[@TheTrueTato]

Which is awesome and makes fights feel so much better

[@Oliver_Saer]

I've sunk a fair amount of hours into both games (albeit significantly more on Chiv2 vs Mordhau), and I definitely prefer Chiv2. Reason being is that I'm more of a variety gamer and typically don't play a single game for more than a few days at a time - and sometimes not even for a single day. With Chiv2's combat system being more casual-friendly, I feel it only takes me a round or two to get back into form and making some good plays. But with Mordhau, I would typically rage-quit after being wiped off the map by some sweat who's so skilled that I don't even have a chance to defend myself. Also, as a side note, Chiv2's maps feel so much more epic than Mordhau - kind of like you're a small part of a huge battle, what with all the environmental effects. This really scratches the fantasy itch which keeps me coming back.

[@arianpoliti2807]

To be fair. I’d say that chivalry 2 cosmetic system functions the same as team fortress 2 cosmetics system since they use classes. The difference is that tf2 had been around for a 10+ years and have a larger array of cosmetics to choose from while chiv 2 had been out for less than a year. So over time I hope chiv gets more cosmetics over time if it does not dwindle prematurely. But that is my opinion and I would be interested of what other people have to say.

[@TheTrueTato]

100% although the cosmetic is less than mordhau I do like it a lot and hope some more cosmetics come out.

[@gerhardjanssen6822]

chiv 2's cosmetic system functions the same as chiv: medieval warfare, usually they add more overtime but chiv devs are less focused on cosmetics and more on maps and gamemodes

Just picked up Chivalry 2 after starting on Mordhau first. I'm really curious to see how it will feel transitioning into a different combat system.

i hope one day we can get a chiv 2/mordhau type of game combined with long persistent battles/maps , similar to a Realm vs Realm type mode you can see in planetside 2 or guild wars 2 World vs world, i can never play something like chiv2 for long periods, matchmaking and fairly short battles kinda feel empty after a while

If you want something closer in feeling and skill to a competitive fighting game you should get Mordhau (you will have to spend hours learning theory and practicing mechanics or suffer with being bad/mid) If this sounds daunting and you want guaranteed fun, get chiv 2.

[@TheTrueTato]

Couldn’t have said it better myself

[@nickv3085]

Mordhau is so rewarding once you’ve put in hundreds of hours. The combat is deep and the skill ceiling is high. Totally agree it isn’t a game your average joe will commit enough time to really enjoy.

[@XMysticHerox]

Chiv 2 gets plenty competetive in duel servers. You will still get absolutely trashed as a mid player. The difference is Mordhau has a pretty high skill floor and a severe lack of newer players. Chiv 2 is only more relaxed in TO because the there are so many newish players around. Mordhau used to be this way on release too.

[@TheBlankJoker]

I played Mordhau cause it was on steam. Didn't realize Chivalry 2 was out but was an exclusive on Epic. Just recently got my hands on Chivalry 2 though. I really liked the first one.

[@SolomonTheBard]

(console player) ive played alot of chivelry 2 and am pretty good, ive been playing mordhau for like 2 days and ive gotta say i prefer it in almost everyway. both are amazing and alot of fun but mordhau to me is more dynamic in the way you can play, the bows feel a l o t better and the climbing aspect is alot of fun. just feels like theres more options in gameplay. my only issues with mordhau is having to look up or down for the downward swing feels a lil off and inconsistent, sometimes it feels like a bit of a grind to get the gear you want and ige experienced alot of games that dont ever push past the first objective where ive had more intense matches in chiverly where it was a big give and take on both sides but im sure as i play more I'll have more experiences similar to that in mordhau

[@wave7949]

NGL, Mordhau gives a more CSGO feel, while Chivalry 2 gives more of a battlefield feel. One is more about fluid movement and combat, the other is more about the overall experience and 'immersion'.

[@venerablebrothergoriate5844]

I really like chivalry 2’s counter system, but I gotta be honest, I think Mordhau is superior. Customization, horde mode, mod support, and in some ways, combat. High speed back and forth chambering/clashing is something I live for in Mordhau, but Chivalry’s counters seem sluggish by comparison. I kinda like the held block in chivalry as it’s a bit more forgiving for defensive players, but it also somewhat allows people to turtle, and that defensive playstyle can easily be turned back upon them by a player who kicks or is content to simply drain your stamina until you drop your weapon. With the Horde mode, and different pvp match types, like swordgame Mordhau feels less repetitive. And with the customization you can do for your character, class and weapons, it gives players something to come back and grind for, and funny enough, it doesn’t feel as grindy as chiv 2, and yet chiv 2 has far fewer items to grind for. Plus, I think the Mordhau community has a much better sense of humor and sportsmanship than Chiv. Sure, Chivalry has its goofy sides, and you can meet players who will commend you every time you beat them, and generally just want to have a good time and get better through more experience, but can you fight a sentient carrot, or fuckin Shrek in Chivalry? Can you find people in standalone servers who are there with the expressed purpose of coaching less experienced players?

Mordhau was great at launch a few years ago. However, much like Chiv 1, it suffers from flawed game mechanics that veteran players have abused to the gills. Its made it such that new players did not stick around and its killed the game in the process. It doesnt help that Crush never addressed these issues and basically let the game die. It was fun while it lasted.

[@TheTrueTato]

It definitely was fun in it's prime, that's when I played it most. Coming back to it was a total tonal shift, it felt like if you didn't know what mechanic to abuse you wouldn't win a 1v1. The skill ceiling was definitely raised since then.

[@MaximusProxi]

what killed the game was the lack of initiative by the devs when mordhau had it's huge upswing around release, the sluggish support and the very few updates... the dev team also just barely managed to release everything announced to the early backers... so yeah entirely on them

[@albelnoxofaquios]

The only reason I don't play more mordhau over chiv is at the time I was playing, people were aiming their swings at basically incomprehensible angles and me being absolutely trash aside, it's not fun. Chiv 2 seemed to have a little less of it at a casual level so. I play that

[@XMysticHerox]

Chiv 2 has less of it at every level. Chiv 2 high level duels actually look great which is a huge plus. All about footwork where that is much less relevant due to combo feint to parry in Mordhau.

Chiv. 2 I was a little into when was announced, and its more casual combat does seem more appealing to me as I am not into competitive games- though I skipped it when it was a EGS exclusive initially- and I already had Mordhau, so it was a no brainer for me. Ofc its on Steam now and usually is cheap from the sales, but idk Mordhau just has the right vibe and silly factor for me- and fun as when I DO kick ass, it is satisfying as hell. Great video!

[@ryuhadouken2722]

I like mordhau combat system enabling you to actually utilize your weapon to the situation need fit, for example you can change grip, change your weapon usage like a long sword. Instead of just cutting and swinging you can switch the grip and use your hand guards as a bashing for armored opponents. Chivalry 2 block mechanic is better and it’s stamina is more realistic. Mordhau has a better counter system where if you counterattack the same attack you can reflect an attack. Mordhau has perks while chivalry is more just standard and separated by class while Mordhau not as much. Mordhau has actual weight involved so if your a heavy knight your not gonna sprint the same speed as a archer. Bows, spears, and just in general throwing objects chivalry wins hands down it’s just better and you have better options. So who wins I say chivalry 2 is overall better and the reason why is it’s a already an experienced game since chivalry 1. They took what could have been better and well just did that.

[@kbk239]

I was about to correct you for the speed' differences bcs in Chiv2 the knights and archers have not the same speed but actually the differences are not that crazy.

I'd say chiv 2's combat is super competitive, high level duels are kinda crazy. Lack of support for ranked gamemodes from TB is kind of sad, so the community made their own mmr system and regularly host comp events. Its really fun to play competitively, never tried mordhau though so maybe my comment is completely off topic haha

[@TheTrueTato]

Even though I made a video about it I still don’t know everything about Chivalry 2 so it’s cool to hear that chivalry has a good competitive scene. Although it is sad to hear TB isn’t supporting it. Mordhau was built to be competitive so you’ll find a good comp scene there too!

I wish there was a big medieval slasher game that's not neglected by their devs

[@thebearmon5140]

I wish both games were one. Chivs amazing maps and music paired with Mordhau's rock paper scissors' combat system.

[@mr.jackolantern7220]

Chivalry 2 is better by far. The graphics to are more beautiful, there’s more lore and some story, combat more satisfying, not as hard to master compared to Mordhau, the voice acting is awesome, weapons are cool, and the maps and objectives variation enough to keep playing. It’s more polished. The only thing that I would love to see Chiv 2 do is naval combat on ships in the ocean, or a jungle map would be epic in thick trees and waterfalls will make for some intense close quarters combat.

[@uh-ohspaghettio7826]

Mordhau is better in my opinion. I recently got Chivalry 2 and it's a great game, the maps are undoubtable better but Mordhau has better combat, customization, and great maps of their own even if they're not as good as Chiv 2's. Also, Mordhau has horses. The vibe of Mordhau is just fantastic too, most players are serious but you'll have your goofy players which are simply hilarious and bring me back to the game too. The ONLY issue I have with Mordhau is the drag system. An easy fix would be to lower the damage depending on swing time, yet Devs refuse to do this.

[@eoozy2617]

I agree, tried out Chivalry 2 for like 2-5 hours but it just made me want to play Mordhau more, always liked that you couldnt just hold block and had to actually time it or ur dead, feinting also works better because you cant just hold block unless you have a shield. Also the customization is one of the bigger parts why I like it more.

[@Cosmicglade]

I just feel like the overall directional combat and mechanics in mordhau are better in every way. The game is hard as fuck for new players, its true, but if you're willing to stick with it the game keeps getting better and better to the point where other games feel as though they pale in comparison. All that said, you are right about Chivalry being better for casual players.

[@septemtrionis.]

I just got Mordhau today and tried it, I like it a lot more than Chivalry, though the thing that makes me go back to Chivalry is how you need to have the reaction time of a fly in order to not die every -0.5 seconds, suppose it is more realistic though.

[@TheTrueTato]

Yea I do like chivalry more because of that. I believe (and it is my opinion) that chivalry’s combat is more fun because of the held block. Now if you ask me a couple years ago, mordhau would’ve reigned supreme because I was really into it. I thoroughly enjoy both games, so I’m glad your enjoying both!

[@GreenKnight343]

I’ve had more glitches playing chiv 2, from new maps crashing the game to cosmetic invisibility glitches and skins never actually loading in,granted I did get chiv on console compared to Mordhau on PC. Even without the glitches I still like Mordhau more that chiv because of the direction the devs are taking the games. For all my gripes about Mordhau’s devs, they don’t lock most of their new cosmetics behind scummy battle-passes, sure they add some dlc armors and voices, but it feels more justified with them being an indie company that is more heavily impacted by income, whereas tritineron just randomly implemented a battle-pass system that wasn’t really needed.

[@marcosensi730]

Hey there! I played tons of both. While I agree that Chivarly 2 combat system has a few (significant) more options: you can both 🦶🏼 kick to counter a block or 🤜🏼 jab to block an incoming attack, I don't agree with you completely. It's for sure easier to play Chivalry 2 if you are new to the genre, but I have some criticism. As you mentioned, the customization system of Mordhau is extremely fine, and quite unique for the genre. While I think chiv2 is fun, I find the animations quite clunky, and even though I realise the meaning of the "revive" mechanism, I think it looks funny and a bit nonsensical. Guys crawling on the ground needing a full hit to stop fighting... Kinda weird, imo. Holding the block button is for sure easier than timing the blocks, but I think that once you meet a pro player, you're dead. I like the maps of both, but I prefer the way Mordhau looks.

[@karelcruzporto1672]

Mordhau have a loot of friendlis but that arent the fact of made it better than chilvarry,the truick is that mordhau is focused in a balanced combat and chilvarry is it too but no to the level example,the most of mechanichs are the same in both epcepts fast hits that are just in chilvarry and the glide habiliti is an skills and you have to equip it+ makes you spend the value maker points...but all normal to that point,the things is:the tutorial of chilvarry 2 teach you to defend against 2 players(low realist for all kill of recruits that you kill in tutorial and are here in your side)some thing that the mordhau tutorial don't teach because they won't but is just the realism point(is hard beat 2 opponents in real life)doesn't care so much in the taste of two games,but in chilvarry(I don't know I don't play it I just was searching for information cause you know,hypocrisy)but mordhau let you personalize every thing in you warrior even the tall of the butt(ignores the DLC's and the before example that dont happen not now at less)but now stop of all,The principal is in chilvarry is no to hard beat an enemy,in mordhau depends of you entire skill of player because is 100% know play and the only thing that I recomend chilvarry in realy more than mordhau is that mordhau kick your ass if u are new and makes your start a hell,chilvarry don't go to that point

Chiv has eyecancer inducing animations, and plays really clunky. Does have the slightly better maps and the maps are more dynamic. Nobody cares about lore in these kinda games. Mordhau on the other hand has the way better combat (once you get the hang of it) and soley for that reason + the crazy meme potential its my absolute favourite of them both. I uninstalled chiv real quick after playing it for some hours and went back to Mordhau.

I played only mordhau. Must say i disliked how by default your team is not highlighted and it's actually a button you need to find. Because at any point a blue team mate can become a red one and then your own team kills him because of it. Not to mention that you can customize your character to not even show any color flags which is insane. Add to that a combat that looks like you are getting a spasm and the ability to turn almost as fast as you swing having your weapon basically stay still right in front of your opponent face just waiting for him to use his parry...

[@TheTrueTato]

Yeah I agree, there was many times where I found myself attacking my own teammates because they had little to no team color. And the combat is fine until you start getting into dedicated servers, then you better know what the hell your looking at 😂

[@archangel8172]

@@TheTrueTato imo the combat could be better. I mentioned the ability to slow swing which in real combat would do no damage while an acel would do more damage but only on the end of the swing cuz basic physics. I think that the damage you do should be proportional to the speed of your swing in which case attacks with a charge would do more damage, acels and stepping in with a swing also would do more damage than normal and delayed ones

[@TheTrueTato]

I honestly think that’s a really good point, and a point I’ve never seen before. Thinking more about it, it makes since that you would do little damage if your sword wasn’t moving fast. So I think a game that focuses on technique rather than tricks. That would honestly be cool if a game would focused more on technique. Good point!

I have, around 1k in mordhau, I started my long journey of medieval slasher games with mordhau, stayed true to it, was a bit sceptical towards Chiv 2, eventually played Chiv 2, about 30 hours in, almost got no explanation to a lot of stuff, so I tried to use Mordhau logic and massive ammount of mechanical skill I had, all I learned about Chiv 2... Spam M2 hold, attack with M1, kick when they hold too much, being ganged up always gets you killed no matter how hard you try.
