Mount & Blade
The multiplayer scene openly sells aimbots and autoblock, which tells you the directional melee is a genuine skill: blocking in the right direction, timing a thrust from horseback. The campaign wrapped around it, raising armies and running an economy, is looser and more forgiving. It plays as real fighting over light strategy.

MediumStrategy plays a role in Mount & Blade, since there is a system to optimize, but it is not the whole story.
