What to consider
Summarized by AIMORDHAU fans are usually after weighty medieval melee against other people, from small skirmishes to huge battles. These five keep the swords or the multiplayer and spread out from there: For Honor and Mage Arena stay competitive, Vermintide turns the fighting into co-op against monsters, and Goofy Gorillas and Knock'Em Out swap the grim battlefield for looser brawls.
1. FOR HONOR™
Best for players who want structured, team-based sword duels in place of sprawling battles.
91 votes
A MORDHAU fan will recognize the deliberate sword fighting here: you attack, parry and block from three directions. Matches are team-based 4v4 Dominion rather than a 64-player battlefield, and the camera is third-person, with a wide choice of weapons and fighting styles inspired by legendary warriors.
Standout features
- Three-direction blocking
- 4v4 Dominion matches
- Warrior-inspired fighting styles
2. Warhammer: End Times - Vermintide
Best for friends who want swordplay as a team against monsters, not rivals.
38 votes
The melee carries over, but your opponents are Skaven overrunning the city of Ubersreik instead of other players. It is a co-operative first-person adventure in the Warhammer Fantasy world, where you pick one of five heroes with their own abilities and gear and fight alongside teammates.
Standout features
- Five distinct heroes
- Co-op Skaven fighting
- Dark fantasy setting
If you like MORDHAU's first-person medieval fighting but wonder how a duel plays with spells, this one swaps blades for your voice. You speak the right words to cast fireballs and frostbolts in battles up to 4v4, or take a 1v1 in the Mage Colosseum. It is listed as early access.
Standout features
- Voice-cast spells
- Up to 4v4 battles
- 1v1 Mage Colosseum
The grim battlefield gives way to a nostalgic virtual jungle gym. You and friends play action gamemodes across a selection of venues, and you can edit the rules yourself, such as an all-out brawl using only dodgeballs. It is first-person and PvP like MORDHAU, with a much lighter mood.
Standout features
- Editable gamemodes
- Several different venues
- Dodgeball brawls
This is a sillier way to fight other people. You play a muscular BOXI in a physics-based brawl, tearing opponents apart while using stage traps to win the ring. Split-screen and online modes are both included, so it works on a couch as well as over the internet.
Standout features
- Physics-based brawling
- Ring-side stage traps
- Split-screen and online
