June 2024

I was all ready to give this game zero stars as soon as I saw the character creation. Absolutely hideous game, disgusting to look at, and that’s especially offensive as Nidhogg 1 was one of the most BEAUTIFUL games I had ever played. ……and then I started playing. This game added to and perfected the original Nidhogg gameplay. It’s smoother, faster, cleaner, smarter, more challenging, simply better in everyway. Is the game still a hideous abomination in terms of the art? Yes. Is it mechanically the best Nidhogg game and one of the best games I’ve ever played? Absolutely. Only other complaint I have is the arcade was a bit too easy or maybe it’s just short. There may be a difficulty setting to extend the arcade, but it’s so minor I don’t care.

It reminds me of the MAD magazine artstyle.

The game is dead, but if you have friends to play it with it is very fun.

It's quite nice game, especially if you have pack of friends with you, and all that Mortal Kombats are either too expensive for you, or too brutal for them. Personally, I found myself liking the first Nidhogg better, mainly because of its greater simplicity both in gameplay and graphics, that leaves more field to imagination and made it surprisingly more bloody... but the sequel isn't that bad. Sure, change with art style made it more tongue-in-cheek in reception, but some new mechanics, skins and weapons made it a really nice expansion of original (maybe except those frigging bows - I'd replace them with javelins that you can both throw and parry with). The only real complaint from my side would be it's greater divorce with semi-fantasy semi-Viking swordmasters' Nidhogg's death cult lore and vibe of the original game, that could be easily continued even with more colourful - trippy - goofy aestetics of Nidhogg 2 - but, for some reason, it wasn't. 7/10

It's really fun. But if you aren't planning to play it with a friend i wouldn't buy it
