My current favorite mode is 1v1 Duel, where it's just you and another player facing off in a contest to see who can win the best out of five rounds. There are multiple modes to play, all of which are very different in their execution. The draw of For Honor is multiplayer, and this is where you get your money's worth. The story isn't award-winning, but it's well thought out, especially for a mode that could have been left out without much notice. The campaign takes you through missions playing as a member of each of the three factions and is an excellent primer for multiplayer. There's no real in-world explanation for why Vikings, Knights, and Samurai all live in areas directly next to each other, but there doesn't have to be. However, a warlord, Apollyon wants to start the wars again. The world is at peace after a thousand years of war. The single-player mode sets somewhat of a stage for For Honor. Feudal Combatįor Honor's campaign isn't a throwaway even though the meat of the title is focused on its multiplayer component. The hero customization process, in general, could have used a little streamlining, and I often found myself just worrying about equipment that raised stats rather than fooling with cosmetics because of how the interface was arranged. The coins you need to buy cosmetic items are also available for real cash in the in-game store, and it seems like their drop rates are a little low in the game.
These various in-game currency systems are somewhat of an annoyance in the game. To improve your equipment you have to break down items from your faction into steel and use as currency for upgrades. A suit of armor, for example, can add to your stamina regain, but it'll also take away from your revenge mode timer. Items that you win after matches can modify your equipment and add or subtract from your hero's stats. New colors, emblems, and outfits can be unlocked by leveling up, accomplishing tasks, or with in-game currency. You can also customize your hero classes with cosmetics and new equipment. That means there's a certain pride in being a great Warlord player or a stellar Peacekeeper. One of the best parts about For Honor is that the abilities and playstyles of the heroes are complex to the point where it would take a long time to become proficient at playing as all of them.
They all have their uses, and in the right hands, any of them can sweep the battlefield. The Peacekeeper is nimble and doesn't have the shield and armor of heavier heroes, but they can dance around their foes and inflict bleeding attacks that slowly drain their health.Įach hero class has strengths and weaknesses, but they're balanced to the point where no one class is greater than any other. A counter-balance to the Warlord would be the Knight Peacekeeper. The Warlord has the special ability to block attacks from any stance, and once the enemy's weapon has clanged off your shield, you can instantly turn your defensive into an offensive.
The Viking Warlord is slow and carries a shield and gladius and concentrates on defense and counterattack. While each hero class in For Honor can guard and attack from the same three positions, they also have move-sets and feats that are unique to them.
