What players say

Used to be really fun with complex fighting mechanics, too bad they took the servers down

Chivalry was a great game and an absolute blast back when it was in its prime. Plenty of chaotic medieval fights, ridiculous moments, and good memories. It had its time and I'm glad I got to enjoy it while it was cool.
