For a lot of people the original Nidhogg was something difficult to improve upon. It was sleek, with a minimalist moveset and aesthetic that belied its frantic pace and hype making duels.
Nidhogg 2 is a different game. You probably noticed thanks to its new art. It’s both gorgeous and grotesque, with gorgeous environmental art, contrasted against slapstick brutality that would feel right at home in an Itchy and Scratchy cartoon. It might be tempting to see this game as a simple expansion of the original, albeit with a big visual makeover, but Nidhogg 2 makes some subtle changes that make it a more fluid and dynamic game.The core of Nidhogg’s fencing tug of war is still here, but you’ll have to play a little bit smarter to get past your opponents.
