Hollywood loves the spectacle of epic medieval warfare. William Wallce’s victorious battles against the English in “Braveheart” are as iconic as they are unforgettable. The legacy of that vision continued through other films and genres such as “The Lord of the Rings” with the Battle of Helm’s Deep and “Game of Thrones” with its grim and bloody wars.

The visceral hand-to-hand combat, the destruction caused by catapults and trebuchets and the arrows whizzing by the frontlines capture the imagination. Filmmakers have shown what these romanticized battles look like, but what would it be like to take part in them? Gaming answers that question by letting players be the boots on the ground, and perhaps, no game conveys that experience better than Torn Banner Studios’ “Chivalry 2.”
