MORDHAU

MORDHAU cleaved through StreamerHouse in 2019, hitting 481 peak viewers for medieval combat that became indie royalty. Slovenian studio Triternion's Kickstarter darling launched April 29th after raising nearly $300,000 in 2017, then exploded—selling 200,000 copies in under a week and crossing one million by June. StreamerHouse viewers witnessed skill-based swordfighting refined beyond Chivalry: Medieval Warfare's foundation, with 64-player servers turning battlefields into absolute carnage. The physics-based combat emphasized timing and technique over button-mashing, rewarding players who mastered the intricate attack/parry system. At just $30, the game earned 'Strong' ratings (82% average) from critics who praised the intense, rewarding mechanics despite some AI quirks and bugs at launch. StreamerHouse sessions captured the learning curve—early deaths turning into competent skirmishes as muscle memory developed. By 2023, MORDHAU had expanded to consoles, cementing its legacy as one of the most intense multiplayer melee experiences available.
