I think it's quite crazy how this studio went from pong-tier illustration (this isn't a dig at the previous game's art fyi It's an observation) work in the previous game to THIS. Super stylized pixel art(?) with stellar looking stages and player character's that don't just blend into each other. However on the gameplay front for me it was really nothing to write home about I do like the addition of new weapons (love how you can parry arrows) but I think this is definitely a title you only pick up if you're fortunate enough to have friends who'd be willing to drop some cash on a game you're likely to only play for a day and then never pick up again.
Sticks. Swordfighting. Go figures, do not let me down! Anybody who played this gets it, what makes it truly fun, and it's not microtransactions. Tug-of-war truly shines when it's not just blind button spamming, now it's just button mashing. See where them legs get you, if you're unable to catch up just give up and turn the other cheek. Nah but just trust me you sooner oughta give up and run away because you'll be back stronger than ever to cockblock your foe. Boi I need to make sure to write that down, here I am chasing someone's tail with matching speed like a gullible idiot trying to get the drippy shoes on the first hour of black friday. All this can be avoided with suicidal thoughts...
It's crazy how they called this Nidhogg because that mf just vores you. Immaculate thought process. Sure, if you consider that a win Mark go ahead, I won't question the elevated one. If I start talking too much shit and start seeing my opponent raising their sword above their head I know I done fucked up. No crazy combos but you can move kinda crazy and the ultimate disrespect is stomping on your opponent's head to make it explode, despite the clear absence of signs of life already. Death isn't enough I want that mf no head pause đź’€
So, that's about it. Did you know human cadavers could be used for composting? I've now proven without a shadow of a doubt that this game is woke. Shame on the devs whole family tree spanning the last and next 300 years. Hmm but also, characters are barely more than humanoid so who knows what we can compost outta them?

Very fun game to play with friends

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

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.
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.
undeniably great art and tunes and cool new levels. have mixed feelings about the added weapons but you can turn them off
Prefiro o 1
Nidhogg 2 is a blatant cash grab that tarnishes the legacy of the original game. The developers have completely missed the mark with this sequel, opting for a shovelware approach that prioritizes pandering to the audience over delivering a quality gaming experience. The new art style is a jarring departure from the original game's minimalist aesthetic, and the gameplay changes feel forced and unnecessary. It's clear that Messhof has lost touch with what made the original Nidhogg so special, and Nidhogg 2 is a disappointing reminder of that fact.
Score: 2/10

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

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.
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.
