- A Mordhau review to start off 2021. Chivalry 2 has a chance to dethrone Mordhau as the best melee slasher out there, but I'm not holding my breath. Thanks for all the support last year, recommend me more games to review so I can stop losing in Mordhau.

Ahh my first copyright claim. Does this mean I've made it?
You know what they say
Everyone gets claimed
Welcome to the big league
Welcome to the big leagues Nick.
I got a strike on my account even though I'm not even making money off the videos. its crazy
The learning curve is steep but the satisfaction of winning a fight kept me coming back for 300 hours.
Bro I need help, I'm fucking addicted to the game right now
Only 300? Casual
Yeah, I don't get that satisfaction.
@@safesafari4806 Dude same. For me, it's just the combat mechanics that feel so good. I still get my ass kicked after 700 hours but I literally can't stop.
1050 hours here bruv
First rule of Mordhau: "Never talk about the battle royale mode."
It was good..
:)
😂😂😂😂😂
Never. NEVER TALK ABOUT THE BATTLE ROYALE MODE. EVER. IF YOU DO, I WILL HUNT YOU DOWN
actually there was a small surge in player recently. almost 20% more compared to mid 2020
its called corona in winter
@@floopi66 they're already gone lmao, back to like 4k per day now. it was like 6-7k a day for a time
thats just butthurt top level players buying smurf accounts so they dont look stoopid when they lose
@@elbowdeep the amount of ffa aand salty stuff in duel servers rn is palpable
They should release this on consoles and make it cross play so the game can thrive I don't have a pc but it seems this game is dying
0/10, not enough naked maul men.
Jokes aside, fantastic video my man!
Bald - ✔️ Bare foot - ✔️ Maul - ✔️
"Dodge this you bastard!" ✔️
Damn didn't realise you only had 200 subs till halfway through this video, because it is well made.
600 subs now!
yeah i assumed i was watching some well established mordhau youtuber.
"Theres a CoUpLe of servers to pick from"
Australia: one frontline, one invasion
Bro for us thats decent hahahaha
And sometimes one of those servers is infested with SPQR
The same in south america no servers in argentina and there is little modded servers like starwars mode or others :S
@@shinyhydreigon7257 SPQR lives matter
Theres also 1 modded server around 3-4 duel servers and a scrim server. WDYM.
it took me like 2 weeks of constant playing to get a consistent positive KD. after a while though the game just turns into a meme, you find it harder and harder to try and instead just meme constantly because its so fucking hilarious. once you start to win 50% of the fights you're in, this game is great.
This. Don’t be discouraged going in. You’ll be heading to dung covered peasant conventions in no time.
I can't relate too much because I've been playing since release, so I've never felt such a huge disparity in skill-gap.... However, as someone with 1850 hours on Mordhau I can wholeheartedly say that it's the funniest game I've ever played
@@big_narc It's the only game I've seen that is fucking ridiculous enough to have a shrek, pingu and michael jackson build fighting together in a 3v3. What in the actual fuck lol. Also saw someone with a chicken build pecking the ground...
Hey there! I'm a professional voice actor by trade, and one of the official voice actors for Mordhau (Cruel, Young, and the Tutorial) and I regularly play the game. Your review was spot on with how the game is, pros and cons.
My personal opinion:
I think that three major things are on my mind for this game's longevity and health.
1. The skill gap can be intimidating for new players, and the community is vibrant- but also there can be a good degree of toxicity at times. But there's also a lot of positivity in the community as well; and I think it boils down to this:
People get better as you said often on duel servers, it is where boys/girls become men/women. It is the community that sharpens the blade of itself.
So on the note of the tutorial I think something similar to what Age of Empires 2 Definitive Edition did can be done here- have a panel of highly skilled players in conjunction with the developers make an advanced, "Art of War" type tutorial. You got your basic tutorial, and then you have the more advanced series. This would need to be carefully thought upon and time and love would need to go into it, but it would greatly improve the health of the community I think. Because while Age of Empires 2 is not a melee game, its competitive mentality is similar.
2. Add in a new game mode, specifically COOP missions. People love horde mode, but sometimes you want more than just whacking a stick at bots trying to chase you. The maps were also made with objectives in mind, and on the notion of maps this also segways into another semi-point I have: this will allow modders to make their own storylines and campaign missions if they'd like.
Sort of like Warhammer Vermintide 1 and 2 or Left 4 Dead, coop styled missions with voiceovers (yes some self interest here but hey, can you blame me?) with each voice personality having their own quips, players go from different objectives on a map while the AI rushes out enemies at them with an AI director spawning different enemies. This could be a huge boost to gameplay because the modding community in Mordhau is quite talented. The devs could easily make their own missions with existing maps, and then modders could just expand on top of this and you'd have an insane amount of content that'd just continually be developed, and its a great way to have fun with friends by accomplishing missions together.
3. With longevity animations and balance tweaks are going to be necessary, and part of that is reliant on feedback. I think that the Mordhau team has despite their size, done a great job at communicating with the community. I see lots of the devs actively speaking to people- and keep in mind this is with all the shitposting and other meme filled lunacy that is constant in the community. But also longevity is more importantly:
On the community's own initiative. And I think that right now that is being approached at a healthy level in the sense of engaging the creatives of Mordhau's aspiring film makers with the recent Mordhau Film Festival. With created content and possible user submission type stuff, Triternion can promote a healthy community for the game by encouraging and rewarding this, as it'll only grow the amount of folks playing the game and thus supporting them.
I figured to post my thoughts here, and if you want to get in touch at all I can be contacted via my website at www.kimckenzie.com/ and I'm also on the official Mordhau Discord and some affiliate servers.
You have a good voice for narrating a review. I think you could have talked more about how the modding community has greatly increased the longevity of Mordhau since it's release. From the release of the Star Wars mod to the awesome Horde maps like Mines of Moria. Otherwise good review.
It is worth noting that, once you have the skill, any sort of janky animation attempt is immediately perceivable once it happens to you a few times. Investing your time into learning jank animations is not worth it unless you want to increase your level of fucking around.
Beyblading never works on me, cuz at this point it is easy to predict.
im a level 40 and after only a few weeks of returning drags that looked like accels during windup did not become a problem. But yeah some animations need fixing and theres no point of reaading them(but they are rare).
i think something mordhau does well that alot of other games dont is that its just genuinely fun to play, I have 1k hours in and ive spent 500 of them just maul rdming and its such a fun, fluid game that nothing really beats it
wtf i just watched your latest vid and here you are commenting on a random mordhau review lol
I genuinely can't believe the quality and the passion behind these videos, this deserves a LOT more than 2.5k views!
You sound like MandaloreGaming. I've had the most amount of laughs with Mordhau, all the voice interactions and animations you can do are outstanding and virtually all of the voice actors are solid. The gore the combat the mods the feels of the game make it probably my number one in the genre, also customizing your character with both facial features and armor equipment are in depth and very satisfying.
Your videos are outstanding my man.
Thanks for sticking around!
This review needs to blow up, this review was really great even though I've been playing Mordhau for a long time now
The format and style of your video, and even your voice is reminiscent of MandaloreGaming. Very nice, thank you for covering Mordhau
That was an awesome review! Laughed my ass off at you climbing the ladder and killing the two archers yelling "SUP F#($ERS!".
Love the empire earth soundtrack in the beginning :P
true, it hit me right in the feels
would loved if you had mentioned the troll and rollplay aspects, & atleast 50% of the Players dont kill you instantly like in nearly each other game & mess around with you (with Emotes&Voice) . But anyway great Video bro!
Reminds me a lot of MandaloreGaming's Reviews. And that's a compliment!
If you continue making videos like these, People will probably give you some shit for that.
Honestly I'm just happy to see more similar quality content. Hope to see more from you!
Under rated review.
How does this not have more views?
Edit: Surprised the lute bots weren't mentioned. That shits amazing.
i mean nbnbnbnnnnnnnbn nmmmnm
None of my friends could get it to work properly.
Great review man! Keep up the great work!
yo happy 2021, new year new review keep it up
:)
Happy new year!
yes coming from one of the super sweaty players this is most thorough review you can find on youtube. Very well done!
Very nice video , I gotta say it's pretty underrated
Such a good vid man keep it up 👍🏻!!
Some tips to improve in duels. 1 block later(at LEAST wait for the swing phase to start dont block at the windup phase or earlier), but you can block during the middle of the swing phase). 2 run away from swings, this will give you time to read them and help you read drags that look like accels on windup(very common) much easier. For frontlines and invasion try 3rd person(im a 3rd person player for all modes helps with my defense). Hope this helps. Also target switch. Hope this helps.
Less than 500 subs but great quality video, hope I can see this channel grow! UA-cam algorithm picking out a jewel right here.
I've got 500+ hours in Mordhau and I still feel really bad at it. I only play for the funny aspects of Mordhau - the voice lines, the ragdolls, the dwarves and the lutes. I wouldn't be still playing if we didn't get to fuck around in matches or custom servers, but this isn't really a negative for me.
OMG!!!!
MUSIC FROM EMPIRE EARTH..........you got me right into heart!
Nice review dude
A really well done and accurate review, this is the video I’ll be sending anyone who wants to get into the game from now on
Great job and all the best for your channels growth
That means a lot, thanks for the support

only 356 subs???!!!
my man u deserve more than that
great review keep it up!
This review was great. As far as the things that players have said needed to happen in this game. Some people think lutes should be removed from the game. Bards are the most important person on the battlefield. I'm surprised that anyone who says that think the game would be more enjoyable without certain weapons and tools. This game needs more love and I'm glad you made this review. Its one of my favorite game in the world even though I have a little bit over 249 hours into it. I don't have friends who play it, but I have a good time without any friends because I've made so many new ones in this game.
The most honest review out there.
Great video, I was looking for a take on the game in 2021 and the first video I got a video basically talking about the chat... and I could care less
Don't know how I got here but I'm subscribed now, I was surprised at the low view count compared to the quality
I'm not sure how I got here either, honestly
A friend picked up mordhau for me a while back. I had no experience in any sort of melee style games, and I'm really bad at fighting games. Still, it looked fun. Now, every time I see gameplay I get reminded of the bitterness and utter hopelessness that is being new in this game is. Your comments on needing something for new players is completely justified. I don't think I'll ever return to this game, and if a lot of other newbies think like me, this game is gonna be on a diminishing population.
Great review!
Nice review man! Been playing this for ages and u were pretty spot on. Defs gonna sub after this one
That duck at 6:27 was perfect mate
You deserve a larger audience fr
Kudos for the Empire Earth soundtrack :D
Great video bro I love Mordhau and I definitely agree it the best melee combat game out rn
Great content, keep it up
That was great. Thank you! Mordhau Patchie is here lads!
If you're in OCE region expect to really play on the Friday/Saturday nights only unless you enjoy low pop servers or duels.
Been playing mordhau since release and haven't got bored of it yet, the trickster warzone server is some of the best fun I've had gaming
great review on this great game, you did a great job talking about it.
Legit one of my favorite PvP games of all time. Just plain fun
Love the ending
9:59 THAT SPIN OVERHEAD WESSEX TO THE SOULDER IS THE NASTIEST THING I HAVE EVER SEEN AND OH BOI I HAVE SEEN MUCH
wait, was that an overhead? It starts like an underhand but ends up like a horizontal. Great vid btw!
Great review.
You should have made a whole social section, cause I have never ever seen such a good and actual funny community as mordhau. Everyone is just letting out their inner autism in it.
Yes the public chats are toxic, but if you go on a private server the people are to 90% quite nice and even offer help and all that. They are really open and ready to help if needed.
Besides that you also got the emotes and voices which make the game so much funnier if well timed.
I also showed the game to a friend the last day and we had a whole public lobby sitting around a campfire doing emotes and interact each other (mostly friendly) and just dancing while a single bard was rocking.
Nice review tho. The worst is just to get into the game. My mentioned friend doesnt have too much fun with the game because he only plays bows and doesnt feel like learning the game. So its not friendly to casuals
I've never had so much fun getting absolutely destroyed! Great game and awesome voice emote things "Helloooo"
I think the only way to make mord better for new players would be to make actual matchmaking that takes level into account. That said, its always nice to talk to new players and give them advice on how to improve :)
That EE music, nostalgic.
That empire Earth music tho, uuh, so nostalgic
What was that movie clip you showed?
I use to do alot of Medieval reenactment(irl fighting with swords) and mordhau is basically the next best thing. even tho irl combat and in game is way different its still good fun
I've been playing this since it first came out & the combat is so good. I got Chivalry II & couldn't get past the tutorial because the combat controls were so different & didn't feel as intuitive
1300 hours.
202 lvl fully gotten on duel servers (100% of my playing time)
Often i end up rounds with 30-0 KD and feel like a King of Battles, but sometimes i met naked guy with a pan and he destroys me smthg about 5-25 spamming laughs on me...
Btw great quality of content, the info in review is 99% accurate. Good job man
Just playing some good old Empire Earth OSTs in intro. Noice
Great video
Just downloaded for 17€ a month ago, liking it a lot!
As a level 202 player I always though that new player experience was the worst in Mordhau. But i'm actually kind of surprised you enjoyed the game. Hope you enjoy Mordhau !
10/10 My favourite game by a long shot.
i loved it so i made a video on it, the player interactions are so great and hilarious, amazing gameplay aswell!
also i noticed when you get somewhere in horde where the ai can't, they'll keep throwing turds at you lmfao
lol the empire earth music was unexpected
Are you Anthony Jeselnik? Either way, awesome review bro
Ooo nice, my favourite game )
I think they should add a mechanism to balance matches, it's not uncommon one team be chosen by all the high lvl and more experienced players (usually defenders) and the other team (usually red/attackers in invasion mode) only by noobs. Total massacre, guys with 5k hours in chivalry and 2k in mordhau just dragging and fragging the whole enemy team. I'm sure those players wouldn't be so dominant if the teams were balanced.
10/10 game, would reccomend
On Russia there are one lobby at evening and 5-6 lobbies at evening. But at the end of the day, most of the players are the same. I have around 350 hours and fight guys every day, but its not a bad thing. We are saying "hello" and "good morning" to each other, discussing patch notes in chat and just having a good time
can't wait for chivalry 2
Haven't played in about a year but that star wars mod made me want to reinstall
Drags should only stun, drain some stam and leave initiative for the attacker, that would be pretty much perfect system, as a veteran I am still bothered because drags causing damage just do not make any sense...
Now I need to watch star wars again.
Why the Chivalry gameplay on the lowest graphics settings though :-).
Hey man I think you should check out For Honor as well, love to hear your thoughts on it
@Nickyeah what was that movie with the knights and the zweihanders?
Does anyone know what film is it on 5:19?
Howdy! Do we have a Morning Star B)?!
game is really good and all but its just the devs and the poor weapon balancing
but its also addicting
honestly though excellent video
clean review
0:25 hehe I am on your video :>
I bought the game last night and played it today and i sucked so much ass but it was still so fun people just mess around you see people chilling in the river and just random things all around
my only issue with mordhau is that their isnt enough content or communication between devs and the community, its mostly small content updates that people either dont care for, or just arent interested in, like releasing an arena map that most people didnt want or even play since a majority of players play frontline and invasion, the cosmetic additions are alright but I would prefer larger updates in longer intivals, than small ones that no one cares for, like an update that soley contains new maps / updated versions of old ones. Or a full on cosmetic update with lots of new armour and variations, maybe even body paint or themed stuff from different regions, idk just spitballing i guess.
The early days where the best
I've been playing it since launch, I played alot sorta seriously, with good builds etc, but then I just started having more fun dicking around. Now I have most of my fun in mordhau running around like an idiot having a good time. Dying in some stupid situation but managing to distract half their team as a naked guy with a tree branch is just as fun, if not more, as popping off, tbh my kd is horrible most games but I don't care lmao. The sound and feel with smacking your enemies or getting smacked is what makes this game replayable enough for me to open it up now and then and playing a few matches, sometimes much more.
yo what movie is this clip from at 5:19
Truth be told I clicked on your video while in search of a review of this game, and after watching it from beginning to end in its entirety, I walked away with the impression that it was from an established youtuber with no less than 100K subs. I was utterly shocked when I scrolled down and saw that you had only 915 as of the time of this writing. This isn't to take away anything from your channel. It's to add to it and say that it's highly underrated because this video is top tier-youtuber quality, so that's why I'm shocked. As someone that has spent a lot of time on youtube, trust me when I say that you have what it takes to make this channel big if you really want to. Maybe you don't, but if you do, you just need to upload way more. At least once per week minimum. Graham Stephan went over how he committed to uploading a few times per week no matter what while growing his channel, and now he's at 3M. To put it in perspective, he was at 300K when I subbed to his channel just under 2 years ago. If you do have an interest in growing this channel, I would seriously pursue it. P.S. - Should be 916 now. I like to help out ☺️
I appreciate it, truthfully I'm not 100% sure what my plans are for the channel either. It's very hard to commit to a hard schedule because of the other work I do, but the hope is to get things out as quickly as possible
as a csgo player with 1k hours mordhau is a masterpiece
Great review for me the janky animations wouldnt be a problem since that is atleast some kind of tech in game f.e if you look at game like Overwatch where they removed any unintentional tech it made a game completely boring since your skill was in developer hands because they controlled the numbers. Yea shitty servers are one thing in this game even though I dont see packet loss sings I see something worse like disconnects which are annoying and when devs fuck with servers they usually spawn a maintenance window. But for me the biggest gripe is not the maps or gamemodes are not fitting in my problem is spawn exploits and bizzare siege equipment placements on maps f.e on Camp enemies can waltz on behind blue spawn and shoot balista in spawns and if player is decent he will never die since 1vx is quite easy with passthrough and team hitstop. Other problem I found is the unbalance of game mode objectives some objectives are completely ridicoulous like push the payload cart and at the same time burn the books in library. All in all even with all these shortcomings for such small dev team they manage to do wonders and the game is awesome and even though it may not be a big hit like it used to I think population will not fizzle out completely due to great skill ceiling and game being unique.
5:20 what’s the movie he uses as a clip talking about the weapons?
It's Maximilian, should be on Hulu I think
My brain instantly recognized Empire Earth music. :D
good ping is vital to fun gameplay, so heres a website that shows where each server is located, since for example there are some US Central servers that are in texas, and some in chicago, yet theyre all listed as the same "US Central"
www.battlemetrics.com/servers/mordhau
As an in game admin on the biggest EU Star Wars server I approve of this video
I'm suck at this game but can't stop playing it tho
I always love to cosplay as sherk or some wacky stuff
Best way to learn?
Ranked 1v1 for s few days will catapult you towards the skill required required to hold your own in frontline.
I just got back in again after quitting on 3 separate occasions after getting my shit kicked in. And oh boy did the 1v1 mode make a difference in my ability.
