Pirates Vikings and Knights II Steam Release
Pirates Vikings and Knights II was originally and mod for the source engine. But in the past couple of weeks valve has recognized it and made it available for download in steam. The game, like the title suggests, pits pirates, vikings, and knights up against each other. The gameplay is melee based but some classes do have ranged weapons like the pirate skirmisher. The direction you slice depends on which way your moving (Move left you slash left). The gameplay is very fast paced and all three factions are fighting at once which makes it very intense and this is definitely a twitch game. The three factions also have different play styles, pirates move fast knights have high health and vikings are a mix of both. There are some issues though mainly with balancing and the fact thats there is no TEAM DEATH MATCH. I could go on for hours about the game but all you really need to know is it's a fun free mod and that the PVKII team also plans to fix most of my gripes.
