What players say
Played this game for quite some time. Cheaters exist but they're kinda rare. I always played on the official servers to avoid cheaters as much as possible but occasionally I'd run into one here and there. While playing on an official server, I reported a guy who was making impossible melee attacks WHILE blocking. Dude was murdering player after player after player after player using nothing but a flag all while...

its a very fun game if you like repetetive battles; also i played this game like 4 years ago and it changed so much where you literally cant hit anything with guns anymore
Really hope they fix melee to at least Warband level, currently it's very clanky. Otherwise, great game.
