Jaime Tugayev is the News Editor for DualShockers with over a decade of experience, and a much longer love for fantasy, shooters and strategy games.

When you hear the word medieval, what do you think about? Does it bring fuzzy feelings and holiday cheer or do you start wondering how long you have until the Plague catches up with you?

Regardless of your approach to the Old Continent's turbulent years, one thing is certain: you'll probably love Chivalry 2, and the good news is, you can try it out for free until tomorrow.

The Epic Games Store has announced Chivalry 2 as the last title in its annual holiday giveaway bonanza.

Developed by Torn Banner Studios, is a brutal multiplayer first-person game that drops you off in the middle of large cinematic medieval battles.

8 Best Medieval Fantasy Open World Games

Here are some of the best Medieval Fantasy Open World games currently on the market.

This is the time of swords, shields, arrows, and trebuchets, and Chivalry 2 does these weapons justice with an extremely satisfying combat system that pairs well with its visceral effects.

There are concerns about whether the game will get new content and fixes going forward, as Torn Banner works through its horror shooter No More Room in Hell 2, but these additional commitments do not get in the way of Chivalry 2 being a bloody good time.

The Epic Games Holidays Are Over

For all the joy about Chivalry 2, there is that lingering sadness about the holiday period ending, taking Epic's holiday giveaways with it for good.
