For Honor - Everything you need to know!
The gates have opened to war, For Honor has arrived and it looks set to be a fight among the factions to prove who is the ultimate champion on the battlefield!
What is For Honor?
For Honor is best described as an action multiplayer hack and slash game set in Medieval times. Three factions do battle, you've got the Samurais, Vikings and the Knights all ready to do battle with one another. It's a fast paced game which requires skill, teamwork and communication to fight back the enemy team and prevail at all costs. Should you not wish to play multiplayer, the game does also offer a short campaign for each faction that will see you put to the test and take on all kinds of enemies as you fight for the kingdom.
You'll be able to select from a number of different classes, the game has 12 heroes (4 per faction) and each one has their own set of unique moves, weapons and feats to show off their talents. As you progress you can upgrade your class with various equipment upgrades as well as different feats from leveling a specific character.
The combat system will take a bit of getting used to at first, you'll need to practice blocking and getting the hang of dodging/parrying but once you've mastered that you'll become a force to be reckoned with on the battlefield that no one will want to mess with. Should your companions fall in battle, it may not be the end and you may be able to come to their aid by giving them a much needed res in the battlefield (as shown by a +, just hold "E" to res them).
