Warhaven Is a 16v16 Multiplayer Warfare Game that Looks to Redefine the Sword Action Genre

ign.com:

Warhaven isn’t trying to create another epic medieval war game, instead, it wants to take what fans love about that period and fuse it with modern elements to redefine the sword action genre. While the battles may seem chaotic, Warhaven puts you in control of one of six warriors and back-to-back with 15 others to take down your enemies to secure an incredible victory with style and power. This third-person combat experience is meant to be visceral and weighty. You will feel every swing and hit, plus taking down your foes will feel as rewarding as ever.

Warhaven is an upcoming free-to-play game, and so to help you with the wait we are breaking down five reasons why you and your friends should give it a shot this summer.

When players step onto the battlefield in Warhaven, they will choose from six powerful warriors with unique strengths and weaknesses that need to be mastered or exploited to succeed. For those who are into a classical swordsman, you’ll feel right at home with Blade, a warrior who stands in the frontline to confront enemies with his mighty sword. If you prefer accuracy and precision, Spike utilizes a long spear to take down all who stand in her way. She specializes in penetrating enemy armor and parrying incoming attacks. Truly the Meister of combat.

For those who are fans of bulky tanks, Guardian and Warhammer are the grab-and-go. Guardian, as his name proclaims, uses a hefty shield that devastates others by bashing them backward or as a battering ram of sorts.

Warhammer, on the other hand, is a much more offensive tank. He swings his two-handed bludgeon that takes out multiple enemies at once and busts that frontline wide open.
