In short, this is one of the greatest games I've ever played.

Mordhau caught my attention several years ago when slimecicle uploaded his first Mordhau video. It looked ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hilarious and chaotic, so I bought it. I was sucked in immediately. Using the stock loadouts just figuring things out. This was my first first person sword game, I have never played chivalry at this point. I remember finding out the rapier stab was very quick and easy to get hits with, and difficult to punish for newer players (which we all were at that point). The rapier was my first "main" weapon that I got kinda good with. This didn't last all that long though because everyone was getting good so fast and I was no exception.

Eventually I got to the point where I simply was so much better than the average player (at around 150 hours mind you.) that I would join a server, and immediately be one of the best players. Here's the most amazing and worst thing about this game. I was in the same server as players who had NEVER played before. They could not touch me, they would never hit me, and I would demolish them in mere moments as I run through them and then the man behind them. The feeling of being a one man army against REAL PEOPLE was something else that I don't think I will ever feel again in gaming. But for the reasons you could probably think of, the game died because new players didn't have a place to play where they would just immediately be pub stomped by better players. This led to the player base dying, and now it's where it is today. Barren, toxic, and unfun. The only people who still play are far better than I ever was, and I was really good. It's such a shame that the greedy feeling of players like me, desiring to be unstoppable in public servers, killed the game.

Do I recommend this game? No. But, not because it's a bad game, but because there's simply no way to enjoy it currently.

I am extremely grateful to have experienced this game when it first came out. There will never be another game like Mordhau, (no. Not even chivalry.) The feelings this game gave was almost drug like. However, that game no longer exists. All that exists now is a sword fighting game where you have to play thousands of hours in dead servers/ private servers with ♥♥♥♥♥♥ people to what, get better? You'll never feel what I felt back then.
