Nidhogg 2

Classic co-op game. Cool music too.

Nice game!

It's really not bad per se, and unlike most I quite like its art style, it's just... Why Nidhogg? Nidhogg's beauty was in its simplicity, this just feels lke a strange fanmade reskin with some new bells and whistles, yet it's licensed as THE official sequel to the beloved indie darling. I just don't get it. But hey, it's more Nidhogg, so I can't complain.

Belter of a game for couch pvp!

I hate this game, its great!

Just bought this game and played it with my brother for almost 3 hours. Had a single match last one whole hour we reached a point where he started questioning out friendship.
10/10

This game, to me, is almost the perfect 1v1 game. Completely level playing field. 4 balanced weapons that each have their very distinct advantages and disadvantages, and some quirks that you can only really learn by playing a bit (throwing heights, etc). Admittedly, I'd say the bulk of my playtime was with just rapier, greatsword and dagger, and bow disabled. But that's not to say the bow is lame, it's just different, and again, opens up a lot of options for you and your opponent.
Seriously, it's a crime that this didn't pick up more than the original, to me it is a sequel done to perfection - acknowledging and building upon the strengths of the original, yet adding things to open up and vary the gameplay, yet still honing down on the same core gameplay principles.

Maybe one day we'll see a random viral spike for this game, and i'm gonna be cheering when that does happen.

The perfect game to just jump into to play a few rounds with your mate. Along with Rounds, the best game for this.

it sword :3

ive been trying to get the hogglike achievement, the AI of this game literally makes no sense you cant try to understand it and theres no skill here its just a game of "what will the AI do?" theres too many factors to take into account when trying to get skilled at the game like throwing weapons,deflecting arrows,fly kicking,kicking,crouching,using the bow as a whole,the terrain theres just so many bullshit to take into account that the AI doesnt even know how to act also the whole basic combat system of the game is flawed weapons arent even tried to be balanced and theres like a million different things that can happen the main sword fighting aspect of the game is RNG too example of the terrible AI:when crawling the AI cant figure out it has to lower its sword for some reason 2 when the AI kills you and makes progress and you are at the opposite side to where the AI has to go the AI will try to fight you instead of just running away 3 when you jump close to a gap sometimes the AI just decides to jump into the gap and fall to its death 4 the AI has completely random moments of completely sucking at the game and being skillfull at the game and no im not talking about how it might be that in the later stages the AI is more skillfull no the same AI in the same stage of the game randomly performs terribly at the game and when you play that one stage again it randomly performs skillfully and actually puts up a good fight

it good,

It's enticing to argue that a good deal of the original Nidhogg's appeal lay in its utter simplicity - the objectives and mechanics were as basic as could be, the art style lent itself well to potato machines. So adding a roster of weapons and revamping the aesthetic to something more cartoon-like seems like it would be breaking that formula, yet Nidhogg 2 manages to retain its identity as a no-frills dueling game. It might seem like some weapons (the two-handed sword) have an obvious advantage while others (the bow) are largely useless, but it forces you to continually change the way you approach each fight without diluting the frenetic pace of each round. And while I can't say I'm the biggest fan of the new art (not least the way it's a significantly bigger drag on my CPU), there's nothing egregious or game-breaking about it - it feels almost like a console leap for the series rather than an overhaul. While I can't see myself coming back to it as often as the first game, it's still a decent time.

This game made me very angry, good job

great fun, laughed my ass off playing this with my friend. love the music and the art style. any game you can curb stomp someone to death is a yes from me.

The wonderfully monstrous character and setting designs blend together with the banging soundtrack to create one of my favorite games of all time. Worked flawlessly for me on the Steam Deck. Great single player mode and even better versus a friend or online. If you like the intentionally charming aesthetic, you'll love this game.
