FOR HONOR™

Play as a hero from one of five factions: Knights, Vikings, Samurai, Wu Lin, or Outlanders. The game offers a story campaign as well as multiplayer modes for fighting alone or with friends.

Combat centers on attacks from different directions and reading an opponent’s moves. Block, parry, dodge, and counter in close-quarters fights, from duels to team battles against other players.

Choose among more than 30 heroes with distinct combat roles: Assassin, Heavy, Vanguard, or Hybrid. Earn rewards to customize heroes with weapons, emblems, and other gear. The campaign includes castle and fortress battles and boss duels.

Players who enjoy the game often single out its directional melee combat, where anticipating an opponent and timing parries can make fights feel rewarding. Reviews also praise the variety of heroes, satisfying executions, and the fun of playing with friends. Many describe a steep learning curve and a frustrating multiplayer experience, so enthusiasm is often mixed with complaints about balance, matchmaking, teammates, and connectivity.
