While over the years several historically accurate medieval games have been released, with Kingdom Come: Deliverance The series that lead the way some games do not try to realism or do not reach easy obstacles. Most remarkably, there are several tropics about the Middle Ages in movies, television and video games, and everything was drab and dirty when the era was extremely colorful, even grim.
At other times, the games mix and correspond to armor, clothing and architecture from different centuries, and these games often do not have any grounding environment, instead they take place in a general European location, although this is not always a problem. Eventually exist Historically inaccurate medieval games With a realistic and detailed world, but ahistoric gaming. Usually these games ignore the importance of armor, while protagonists avoid, roll and control their way to victory, although they can also rank among the funniest medieval games.
Medieval dynasty
No religion, stone tools and modern pigs
Medieval dynasty It is a simulation game with an open world, where after the first few days players can build their own medieval village and hire travelers to settle, work and raise families. The game does a lot of right, with craftsmanship, agriculture and business that have a lot of depth and besides a few wolves or bandits, the experience is quite relaxing.
However, Medieval dynasty It will fall into the trap of the presentation of the general image of the Middle Ages. Most remarkably, the game lacks any religion, despite its importance in the community center. While some explanations for this suggest that this could be determined in Eastern or Central Europe in the 11th century before Christianity was fully expanded, it is contrary to plate and brigandins of the 14th and 15th centuries, and if so, paganism will be present. In addition, the game has at the beginning of players who use stone and bronze tools, buildings are not accurate and finally pigs are pink and modern, rather than brown and hairy, closer to wild institutions. However, these shortcomings are more acceptable than other games that themselves “medieval”.
Assassin's Creed: Valhalla
In addition to the fantasy elements there are a lot of inaccuracies
Assassin's Creed Games are known to have a highly detailed and absorbing historical environment with real landmarks perfectly re -created. However, if it comes to fighting and gameplay, historical accuracy never focuses on better or worse. This is no different in Assassin's Creed Valhallawhich takes place at the end of the 9th century, after the Norwegian striker of the British island. Unfortunately, the fight is full of wild fluctuations, easy decapitations and dual axis.
In addition to the fight of the game and the Norwegian mythology somewhat presented through dreams, Valhalla As far as historical details are concerned, he also gets a few things. For example, most shields are completely turned off, with kite shields around the century too early, as well as some crazy patterns and unrealistic materials. Clothing and tingling are something else that this game and most Vikings are spoiled, with Vinland's saga be one of the few that succeeded. For example, instead of wearing simple tunics, mail and helmets, the characters are covered with skin and fur, and these are more on the outside rather than a lining on the inside.
Chivalry 2
Designed to evoke a sense of medieval action movies
Chivalry 2 There is an action game for more players where players walk together with swords, crossbows and even siege weapons. It is also a game that admits that it is inspired by medieval films and popular anachronisms rather than trying to exactly portray the Middle Ages. However, if players do not know about developers' intentions, they can get a bad idea of the time period that almost depicts.
For example, armor is everywhere with components from different centuries, incorrect proportions and unrealistic heraldry. Shields Chivalry 2 They are even worse, with some dubious shapes and materials used by the wood area covered with fabric. The worst of all about authenticity, but understandable to a fun game, is how tingling counts little with all the weapons that walk through it. Instead of having to find weak points or hitting opponents with blunt weapons, as in medieval games with the best fight, players can simply hack and knock.
A series of plague stories
Spread the myth that rats spread the plague
While Mor story: Innocence and Mor story: Requiem They are great adventure games Stealth on their own, with captivating stories and fun games, they are very wrong about the Middle Ages. For beginners, clothes are completely bad, and all look more like fantasy adventurers than residents of medieval France.
More serious, however, rays of rats, followed by amicia and Hugo around, help to strengthen the myth that rats spread the bubonic plague during the black death of the 14th century. While rodents, such as Gerbils, may have played their role in Asia, with their fleas and then infected merchant ships, the plague is usually assumed that they have spread through people. No matter the big swarms of rats would not take France, although of course it is an entertaining game element.
Honor
Neither almost realistic
Honor It is a fun game that will build fighters from different cultures and era against each other. While after the start of the game there were three main factions of the Knights, Vikings and Samurai, all of the general medieval period, players can now also take over the roles of the century and gladiators from ancient Roman history and Pirates.
Of course, the fact that these factions face the same world is, of course, a clear indicator that fans should not expect accuracy. One view of the allegedly medieval knight armor is enough for historians to cry, and the Viking warriors are potentially worse. All of this deteriorates in a game that, although entertaining, represents Spin attacks every second, ending with unrealistic finishers.
