About Nidhogg 2
✦ AI summary
Duel your way across side-scrolling arenas with swords, bows, and your bare feet in a frantic race to reach the other side and feed the ancient wurm. Nidhogg 2 refines the indie classic with new weapons, grotesque pixel art, and a killer soundtrack while offering both solo and competitive multiplayer mayhem.
The wurm has returned and it must feed! Shed your garments and paint the walls with the flesh of your enemies, for only one can be worthy of sacrifice.
The rules are simple. Reach the other side and kill anyone that stands in your way. Deftly parry and rend their throats, riddle their bowels with arrows, or squish their brains between your toes. The wurm cares not for chivalry.
Sequel to the indie hit of 2014, Nidhogg 2 builds upon the award-winning gameplay of its predecessor with new weapons to wield and levels to master, head-to-toe character customization, and the captivatingly grotesque art of Toby Dixon.
And, with music from artists including Mux Mool, Geotic, Doseone, Osborne, and Daedelus, Nidhogg 2 has a soundtrack so good that even the menu screens are awesome.

completly misses the point of the original3 found this helpful
Strips away the fun combat of the original to cram in new pointless weapons that strip away the importance of playing well. the artstyle for the characters is also really rough. overall its a pointless sequel that fails to understand what made the original so enjoyable and suffers as a result1 found this helpful
A very cool concept executed exceptionally well. Nidhogg 2 feels like a mash-up of the playground game *Red Rover* and the original *Mortal Kombat* trilogy (oh yes, i'm old enough to be familiar with both sets of experiences). The objective has the frantic tug-of-war energy of the former, while the latter is reflected in its fast-paced combat, chunky sprite work, and satisfyingly responsive controls. I mean both comparisons as high praise. My biggest criticism is that the solo campaign can be brutally difficult, and there's no way to save your progress. You're expected to finish an entire run in one sitting or start over from the beginning—a true arcade philosophy. Unfortunately, I don't have the time or skill to see a full run through, though making it halfway was challenging in the best kind of way. Despite that, I had a great time. The mechanics are simple to learn but surprisingly deep, and the controls are tight enough that every victory feels earned. If you enjoy strange, demanding games that reward perseverance, Nidhogg 2 is well worth your time.1 found this helpful
It was okay, as a single player experience. I didn't play the first Nidhogg, but I hear this one lacks that same charm. I'd say avg review would be best.1 found this helpful
Jogo muito foda principalmente multiplayer, só acho q o single-player poderia ser melhor
very fun
