Multiplayer Medieval Melee Slasher ‘MORDHAU’ Is Launching On Steam On April 29th
MORDHAU is a first and third person multiplayer melee slasher set in medieval times where you can take part in 64-player brawls, castle sieges and small-scale battles. The game was successfully crowd-funded over two years ago on Kickstarter with nearly $300,000 in pledges toward the original $80,000 goal. It will be available for purchase on Steam on April 29th.
MORDHAU offers a strong emphasis on skill-based melee combat where you can “chain your attacks into combos, punish your opponents with quick counters, push them away with kicks, trick them with feints, grip your polearm closer to the head, use real halfswording techniques — and much, much more.”
