fun game! doesn't charm me as much as the original but is still satisfying to get good at

In the end, it kind of adds nothing to Nidhogg one, more weapons is cool but some of them are so terrible they take away from the enjoyment

MEINE FANTA DU FINDEST DAS SICHER LUSTIG

I really dig the look. The new weapons make it a slightly different game, and hence the original is not made redundant. This is how to do a sequel. Love it.


I AM THE UNBEATEN CHAMPION OF THIS WITHIN MY FRIENDGROUP

I think I liked the art style of Nidhogg 1 more than the second, but I guess they needed more of their own identity. The gameplay is still excellent and can get quite sweaty and competitive with friends. It does lag quite a bit online on PS4 which is a bit disappointing to see.

pick up the bow and watch all your friends get incredibly mad at you

Ugly as sin. Pretty fun, but hard to bring up during the "What should we play" discussion because it is so ugly. I like the simplicity and charming looks of the first game better.

This was a fun, short, and compelling experience. I only played the arcade section, but this would be a blast with other people. I can see myself screaming at my friends because they stabbed me in the balls for the 70th time. Unfortunately, there wasn't anyone in the matchmaking, and it's only two players.

Nidhogg PERO AUN MAS FEO

Sigue teniendo los mismos problemas que su predecesora pero es aun mas... FEO

Entiendo que quisieran dar una estetica mas asquerosa pero por dios, no hay quien le pueda gustar esto, osea estaria bien si mejorara el online.... Pero no lo mejora

Lo unico bueno que puedo agregar es que agrega mas variacion en las armas poniendo Arco y algunas variaciones de Cuchillos, espadas y etc... pero que es feo igual e incluso el online anda peor en este juego que en el 1 como puedes hacer eso mal?

Entiendo si fuera porque mi internet no es bueno... Pero el Nidhogg 1 lo jugamos unos minutos antes que este y DIOS QUE MAL ANDABA

No me lo vuelvan a acercar

Very fun game to play with friends

More of the same fun, and the change in graphics/style adds cartoonish humour to the crude violence. Great stuff!

Great fun to play with friends (specially those friends you usually play fighting games with)

Bon p'tit jeu de 1v1 en couch coop.

It's Nidhogg but uglier and with more weapons and stages. I like the simplicity of the original, but I think this is the more interesting game overall.

Swordfighting for people who prefer Banjo-Tooie

What I mean by that is this: The first Nidhogg was incredibly simple. Very basic, bare-bones fighting and chasing. It worked because it was so simple. Nidhogg 2 expounds greatly on the first game's foundation with more weapons, levels, and an absolutely bonkers aesthetic.

If you're the kind of person who thinks Banjo-Kazooie is better because of its simplicity, I'd wager you'll prefer Nidhogg 1. But if you, like me, loved the complexity and mildly-convoluted wackiness of Tooie, then this sequel will similarly be right up your alley.

Really long fights and really grotesque art style is the sequel to square dudes fencing

incredibly fun with friends, especially when no one can get the upper hand for a while

Rushed through it. Didn't particularly enjoy myself.

Nidhogg 2 é uma mudança brusca de visual em relação ao visual minimalista de jogo de atari do primeiro. Eu demorei pra acostumar, mas depois acabei gostando, mesmo achando que o visual do primeiro é mais charmoso. Contudo, a jogabilidade se manteve basicamente a mesma, ou seja, ainda é divertidíssimo. A adição de novas armas faz com que você tenha de mudar as estratégias as vezes e isso deixa o jogo mais dinâmico. Apesar de a espada clássica continuar sendo a melhor arma.

Por ser quase igual o primeiro, da pra dizer que é um dos meus jogos de luta (?)/combate (?) preferidos junto ao antecessor, porque é simples e divertido, mas tem um brilhantismo na falta de complexidade dele que eu aprecio demais. Ao despir o jogo de milhões de comandos, deixando basicamente só 2, você precisa fazer com o que o pouco que reste seja impecável. E eu acho que eles conseguem.

Infelizmente é o tipo de jogo que praticamente não faz sentido jogar só. Tem combate contra o computador e eu me diverti jogando, mas a graça mesmo está em jogar com outras pessoas. Jogar online com um amigo foi sem problemas, não tem jogadores no lobby mas o online funciona no pvp. Mas a melhor forma ainda é jogar Nidhogg presencialmente dando risada e queria poder fazer isso assim que possível de novo.

As local multiplayer goes, this has become a classic in my house. Simple to learn, and hard to master. The change in art style is controversial but I think it works really well. However, I would say that you shouldn't get this if you have no-one to play against locally.


Wow. This game improved upon its predecessor a lot. It basically has all the thing I complained about in my review of “Nidhogg”. Really good.

We all know that graphics don't make or break a game.
That said, when I first saw the imagery of Nidhogg 2, I was disgusted. It looked grotesque to an extreme degree and something about it really disinterested me. Perhaps because the minimalistic style of the first one was so flavorful, and seeing the opposite in the sequel didn't sit right.
With THAT said, once I played it, my complaint was out the window. It's a ton of fun. Not too dissimilar from the first, but now you have new weapon types and new maps. It's great.

legitimately never felt more alive than when I fought my friend in this game

I played the first one at a friend's house, and liked it. This game is that, but better and more diverse. Exceedingly fast-paced PvP game that's a blast to play. Simple, straight-to-the-point combat where an individual scuffle can end in seconds. Full matches are a roller coaster of emotions. Art style is gross, but it kinda works.
