For Honor

Fans of medieval tournaments will be interested in the game "For Honor" from Ubisoft. It is convenient in that it is focused on both multiplayer and single player, so you can enjoy the battles for a long time. Allowed to control different warriors, the choice is offered by Vikings, knights, samurai. And you will have to fight in different parts of the world.

Plot Story

Uncomplicated, but simple. All warriors - knights, samurai and Vikings - lived well for themselves, until suddenly problems with resources began in the country. For a whole thousand years the war went on, but when the shortage was finally sorted out, the desire to fight did not disappear. He is constantly heated by a mysterious essence in a helmet-skull, hinting that only warriors have the right to live. And how can you resist the temptation?

For Honor Principles

The main task of the gamer is to go through all the arenas for different characters and defeat all enemies. Simple videos enliven the game, funny jokes slip through in cut-scenes - in a word, interest in the action is constantly warmed up. The combat system should be noted separately. It turned out to be a kind of hybrid of an action and fighting game mechanic, but in fact it is quite a good option. You can attack and block blows from three sides at once: from the right, from above and from the left, moreover, you need to "catch" from the right side. It is also not worth breaking into an attack, the enemy is able to easily find open places. You can:

• learn different combinations of blows;
• learn to punch blocks;
• do grabs and pushes;
• hitting with acceleration and jumping;
• finish off;
• to roll - in short, the choice is very good.

Character stats

What are great fighters, so it is that each has its own combinations, sets of movements, attack range, speed. The Viking is slow, but he hits aimingly and can easily throw him into the abyss. But the samurai moves with lightning speed, waves his weapon so abruptly that it is difficult to get close. Warriors also have tricks big and small to learn.

Battlegrounds

The arenas are created very picturesque, fights take place either near the knight's castles, in the forest, or in the mountains. But the main thing is that in each location objects are thought out like bonfires, traps with thorns, geysers, cliffs and abysses. That gives an additional advantage in battle, the enemy can still be pushed down, this helps a lot when there are an order of magnitude more enemies.

A word about the For Honor mechanic

On the one hand, this approach guarantees good gameplay, because you need to think about how and when to defend, clearly track the blows and apply them correctly yourself. But if you constantly play a single game, then it will be possible to calculate the methods of fighting enemies over time, because they will fight according to the same scheme. This arrangement quickly becomes boring, but there is still a chance to revive the game if you go to real players.

Here, absolutely everything will appear in a different light: characters, arenas, and the ability to fight. Since real players have their own methods of combat, and the tricks have already been worked out, so it will not work out easily one against three. More precisely, it will work out, but not for long. And you will have to hurry up with attacks, because the enemy will take advantage of the moment of reflection faster than in the case of a single game. Not to mention the fact that a crowd can pile on, and push into a cliff, and hit in the back.

Pros and Cons

The developers have presented good mechanics, 5 modes and even major showdowns such as faction war. But not all of the proposed works, as noted by gamers. For example, the game sometimes freezes, and can be thrown in the midst of a major battle. It is also not always convenient with the alignment of forces for the characters, many networkers in the roles of Vikings prefer to take by force, luring them to cliffs and bridges.

A little about the modes:

• Duels. The battle goes on without additional rules and magic talents, only on skill.
• 2v2 battles You can fight alone, or you can help your partner, which gives a special excitement.
• Shootout or point bouts.
• A large-scale battle to capture control points. Here the fight is 4 on 4, the fighters fight in pairs, at different ends of the map, the beginning of the duel, then the general "mahach". And here, as luck would have it, partners can cope, or they can fall, leaving enemies in the ring.

Interesting additions to For Honor

Even in the game, you can take tasks for the day, when additional experience is given. For fun, it is allowed to change the colors of the armor or the parameters of the fighters. It's fun to get involved in a faction war. Many gamers like the "Territory Conquest" mode, where bots are also involved, and players need to hold control points.

Tips from experienced players:

• Game settings allow you to change details, up to new items. Many things give an increase to the characteristics, but one problem is that they accumulate slowly.
• In some modes, catapults are allowed.
• You can increase the characteristics of allies or restore their health both permanently and temporarily.

Summing up

The mechanics and features of the heroes can be studied for a long time, it is advisable to do it at least quickly before getting involved in a fight. Before playing online, you should be successful in single player.

The developers managed to restore the atmosphere of those times quite well, to form exciting campaigns. So it is very possible to take your soul away in the wheelhouse, the main thing is to accumulate at least a little experience. And never forget that not all players fight honestly, such moments are quite vividly manifested in For Honor.
