For Honor
For Honor is an Ubisoft Montreal game released in February of 2017. The game was first seen back in 2015 but after a good wait it finally came out to positive reviews but soon after release a slump followed.
The game focuses on a multi-faction war in a seemingly fictional version of our own world. This war will contain Samurai, Knights, and Vikings. That is the entire premise of the game, see awesome historical warriors duking it out. It’s what a Deadliest Warrior game really should be but wasn’t. Constantly at war with one another after a terrible calamity the samurai, knights, and you guessed it vikings, all fight over territory and resources. This is seen both in campaign and in the very competitive online multiplayer for the game. The game features four classes for each faction reaching a total of 12 with 2 new classes added each major update. Currently there are 4 added classes, additional classes cost a lot of in game currency or real money to unlock while base game classes are cheap. In For Honor you are able to fully customize your characters for each class choosing their gender(Though some classes are gender specific), skin color, armor color, designs, and even some of the fashion with choices related to loot you unlock as you play the game. It is microtransaction heavy but if you play the game a lot this can be totally avoided.
The LP
Hi I’m Tolvo I’ll be the one recording, commenting over, and uploading for this LP. We will start off with an introduction to the game and then the majoriity of it will be spent on the story with additional updates for every class in the game that I can reasonably show off as well as every mode, training video(Basic and Advanced), and mutiplayer to give an impression of what the PvP is like. I plan on uploading two versions of each main video past the introduction, one with commentary and one without(For those who don’t like my voice, just want the game only, etc). I will be putting content warnings on each episode. Mainly this game is very gory and bloody. This is not a 100% playthrough nor is it a hard or realism playthrough. I want to show off the game not particularly my own skill.
