55) Gloria Victis

The early access trailer announces the medieval MMO’s initial Steam launch.

Man, there’s nothing like medieval realism. This gritty new early access MMO promises such features as territory control and open pvp, an immensely comprehensive crafting system, and, to quote the website, “non-target combat in Mount n Blade style”. Any Mount and Blade players out there will recognize this as a good thing. 

This game has active combat in a realistic style, which in this case means stamina management. After all, it would be ridiculous to have someone swinging a greatsword around all day without tiring himself out. Equipment, as well, in that there is no class system. Whatever you want your character to do, go for it. Nobleman or farmer, anything is open to you.

Gloria Victis, though again, still in early access, promises some amazing new improvements in the form of sieges in towns, cities, and castles. Whether they follow through remains to be seen, but it’s still definitely worth checking out.

Knock the gate down! Take the castle!

Medieval warfare at its best, here.
