MORDHAU — Steam Gift

Buy MORDHAU as a Steam Gift

MORDHAU is an online medieval melee brawler from the independent studio Triternion, released on Steam on April 29, 2019. The project got off the ground through a 2017 Kickstarter campaign, built by a small international team spread across several countries. If you've had your eye on a grounded, magic-free game about longswords, halberds and shield walls, here's what you actually get and how gifting works on our storefront.

What MORDHAU is actually about

The setting is late-medieval, no fantasy shortcuts: armor plates, greatswords, polearms, crossbows and siege weapons instead of fireballs. You build your own mercenary, tweak armor, weapons and looks, then fight it out on servers with other players. There's no single-player campaign here — MORDHAU is built entirely around multiplayer, worth knowing before you buy. The studio's own origin story is worth a mention too: it began as an amateur Unity prototype called Project Slasher, built solo by a Slovenian student and longtime Chivalry: Medieval Warfare fan. Enthusiasts from around the world gradually joined in, many with zero prior game-dev experience, and years of remote, mostly unpaid work turned that hobby prototype into a proper Triternion release.

Combat with no lock-on, no canned animations

The core selling point of MORDHAU is a combat system driven by your actual mouse movement rather than a scripted animation or an ability cooldown. Feints, drags (redirecting a swing mid-motion) and halfswording — gripping the blade for close-range thrusts — all live here. The weapon roster is varied too, from daggers and one-handed swords to halberds, war hammers and two-handed zweihanders, each with its own weight, reach and swing speed, so switching weapons genuinely changes how a fight plays out. It takes real practice to get good, but a clean duel win is exactly why people stick with MORDHAU for years.

Frontline, Skirmish and Demon Horde — a mode for every mood

Beyond straight duel servers, MORDHAU runs:

• Frontline — large-scale tug-of-war battles between two armies fighting over a sequence of capture points, dozens of players per side;
• Skirmish — a round-based mode with no mid-round respawns, won by whichever team hits the target round count first;
• Demon Horde — a co-op mode where you and your team hold off waves of enemies, the updated take on the original Horde mode.

In Frontline, teams take turns storming and defending specific points on the map — sometimes hauling a battering ram to the gate, sometimes torching an enemy catapult — so beyond personal swordplay, coordinating on map objectives matters just as much. So if ranked-style duels aren't your thing, Frontline or a few Demon Horde waves with friends work just fine.

Why a gift instead of a plain key

If you're already living in Steam and want MORDHAU to just show up in your existing library without punching in an activation code, a gift is the more direct route — it arrives through an invite rather than a separate code you'd type in yourself and then have to keep track of somewhere.

How to actually buy MORDHAU here

Pick the right MORDHAU lot on our storefront, pay with whatever method suits you, and wait for the gift — usually our bot adds you as a Steam friend and sends the game over, or you'll get an invite link to accept manually: in Steam go to Friends → Add Friend and accept the invite through that link. It lands shortly after payment; we're not going to promise you an exact minute.

Regions and lots: what to check before paying

Every MORDHAU lot is tied to a specific Steam account region, which you can spot from the currency shown on that lot's price. Match it to your own account's region — if they don't line up, Steam will decline the gift and the money goes straight back to your site balance, no chasing required.

Security: no Steam Guard hoops, no passwords

Accepting a MORDHAU gift doesn't require touching your Steam Guard settings, and we will never ask for your account password. It's a standard friend-invite gift; nobody on our end logs into your account.

Refunds: the honest version of our video policy

If a MORDHAU gift fails to activate for some reason, a refund is only possible with one unedited, single continuous screen recording — no cuts, no splicing, no pauses — covering everything from the payment moment through the accept attempt in Steam. That's the only format we can act on; anything else isn't eligible.

Why MORDHAU Players Choose Brawl Games

We've been at this since 2023 and try to take the usual friction out of the process: payment works with Russian bank cards, SBP transfers and crypto, promo codes apply right at checkout, and there's no extra sign-up anywhere else needed to receive MORDHAU.

Character customization: what's already in the box

Base mercenary customization — armor, weapons, hairstyles and voice sets — unlocks in-game for in-game gold and is part of the full MORDHAU game at no extra cost. The themed cosmetic armor sets Triternion sells as separate Steam DLC aren't bundled into the gift; those are their own purchase if you want a specific look.

What Sits Near MORDHAU on Our Shelves

If grounded, skill-based combat without magic is your thing, take a look at Men of War, a tactical military RTS with a similar realistic streak, or top up your wallet with a Steam gift card to pick up MORDHAU's armor DLC sets later on.
