Sometimes you can just go on a frenzy and attack anything. If you have a broadsword and you’re going against an opponent with a dagger, you may want to re-think your choice. Now bear in mind, this game doesn’t necessarily require skill. You can still run in swinging, it’s actually pretty funny given the new animations and art style.Ī little thinking before you strike though can make a difference. Instead of running in flailing swords, the game wants you to occasionally take your time. Nidhogg 2 sets itself apart from it’s former by being more of a thinking based game. Changing the moves allows for more sword-based combat instead of button mashing. It’s not as easy to spam moves anymore and this is accompanied by the alterations to the move-sets. The developers have solved the spamming problem of most players in the original. The controls are tight and responsive which makes a lot of difference when doing rolls or flips. The game comes with 10 levels and each is unique in it’s own way. Utilizing moves at the right time to kill your opponent is often satisfying as it was in the original. Nidhogg’s swordplay is an all-around great feature. Some fans have been forced to change up their routine for taking down an opponent. Which is a bit of a concern within the community of Nidhogg 1 fans, as their win strategies have now been altered. The moves of Nidhogg 2 have also undergone a transformation. The new weapons feel right for the game and well thought out. There is a feature to turn off weapons that you don’t want to use as to prevent any unlikable selections. There are also new weapons, some weapons are better than others and some require a bit of skill to truly master. At first I wasn’t a big fan of the style, mainly because I was a fan of the original Nidhogg but after awhile it grew on me. For one, the art style is more detailed and colorful. There’s been a few changes since the original Nidhogg. A hilariously fun game, Nidhogg 2 is only complimented by the art style. Simple, that’s the core belief of Nidhogg created by developer Messhof. Heck, buy both - the Nidhogg Complete Bundle is discounted too.Editor’s Note – This game was reviewed on the Playstation 4 Pro with a review copy being provided by Gaming Instincts. Its new updates are a little smaller than those granted its sequel, understandably, but I'm still glad to have a new battleground called "Fields", a new "Permanent Blood" mode, and those cats.īoth games are also currently 60% off, meaning Nidhogg is £2.79/€4 and Nidhogg 2 is £4.39/€6. I've played it for hours and hours and hours with friends and I never grew tired of it. It's a sword-duelling game that produces exceptionally tense standoffs and intense rivalries, with only a handful of moves or systems to get between you and raw competition. I'm also inclined to agree with Adam in his Nidhogg 2 review, who felt that the sequel's new weapons and larger scope only distracted "from the perfection of the central fencing mechanic."Īnd Nidhogg 1 is perfection. Because it had one minigame that took place on the roof of a train, see. I'm old enough to find the train level reminiscent of Cowboyana, Messhof's old, free western. The former is a "demonic meat locomotive," while the latter is supposedly based on "the real Messhof office." I question this. The two new levels for Nidhogg 2, as explained in a brief Steam post, are "Train" and "Office". Even better news: the original Nidhogg also received a free update, adding a new battleground and some new animated cats. Good news! Chaotic multiplayer brawler Nidhogg 2 just received a free update adding new costumes and two new levels, including one set upon a train.
