Chivalry: Medieval Warfare

Think of Chivalry as a medieval Call of Duty. For many, that alone is enough to justify the purchase. All of the familiar FPS multiplayer options are included. If you want full-on warfare, join a team deathmatch. If you're tired of getting stabbed in the back, switch to singles duels. The combat is intense albeit clunky. If you want serious competition and an untarnished loss column, look elsewhere. Chivalry is for those who don't mind regularly getting their heads lopped off.
Nidhogg

Nidhogg is akin to a 2D Bushido Blade. Quick and slick fencing controls support a tug-of-war system in which fatal thrusts yield a player more time to push back their opponent's respawn location. It's almost too basic, but this one is all about quality over quantity, from the brilliant graphics and soundtrack to the precision in the combat.
