This is where community comes into play, not to mention the future. I love that we can just pick up our controllers and go through hundreds of games that we have never heard of and those we have. We have so many options to choose from when it comes to indie games thanks to digital store technology and the ever-growing community of small studios and those companies will be the game changer for games that we can purchase online. Nidhogg 2 will be one of those games for me. Occasionally, you will find that indie game that brings you back to your childhood, and it will keep a special place in your vault of memories that bring you joy and sometimes anger. Platformers are coming back, and you will find some that you hate, those you enjoy and many in-between. Use slides, jumps and sometimes when it gets hard, just jump over your opponent and run for the next screen if they don’t kill you first, and always remember you can throw weapons. Be sure to use the different weapons given to you in different ways. It puts your skills to the test, and you will pick up little tricks and techniques along the way. Though it may be a platformer and have no 3D visuals this game is hard. Do not fret because you can roll onto another weapon laying on the ground and pick it up. After throwing your weapon you may find yourself unarmed. It usually works, but when they start to catch on they will jump in the air, completely evading your attack. For instance, when you have a weapon you can throw it or run at your opponent in a slide motion to hit him with a low attack.

When it comes to skills and learning how to control your character there is a lot to learn.
I have never played the first Nidhogg, so I had no clue that being eaten by the Nidhogg was actually the main goal. The reward is that you win, but also get eaten by the Nidhogg! The first time I won and was eaten I was blown away because I thought that I had made a mistake. Pass that and you will come to the end of the road. The goal is to push past your opponent to his side of the stages, and once you do make it all the way past your nemesis you will make it to the “Final Screen”. You have six different stages that are split between the two opposing sides. I believe that character customization is a must for me, even in this platformer that most might not even look twice at and has great features that are found in modern games. I played for about two hours in one go and enjoyed how when you get killed, whichever color you chose for your character that is the color of your blood when you die. You can create and customize your characters with various colors, clothes and hair styles to choose from. I will have great pleasure to pick up the controller and check out the online mode. You can finish a downed opponent with a sharp twist of their neck. Though I had to take a break, I kept thinking about the game. Nidhoggs unarmed combat is a scrappy thing of repeated flying kicks, but no less brutal for it. I was getting overwhelmed and frustrated. It was way too much to have to keep playing. It was really frustrating trying to get past the com in one spot for about ten minutes, and as a little bit of time passed I had an achievement pop up that said “Donkey Space” – the info on that achievement stated that I had played a match for 20 minutes! This was about the 7 th or 8 th level.Īfter I won I just went ahead and jumped off. will start reading your moves and counter your attacks. As you play through the levels you will start to see that the A.I.
The second would be that this game is hard.

I absolutely love it! It has been a while since I was able to laugh and be ready to throw my controller through my TV all in 30 mins. The first thing I would like to state is that this game is amazing. Only one thing is certain in Nidhogg… the only way to win is to outwit your opponent.As I was playing a round of Nidhogg 2 I was thinking about what I am going to write and how was I going to approach this review. Until you reach your goal-zone, anything is possible.

Matches aren’t won or lost with a single kill, but with a series of kills granting you right-of-way to run/fight/flee to your own goal-zone.Įach arena holds different strategic formations and chokepoints to use to your advantage. The combat arena stretches in both directions, although besting an opponent only gains you ground. If swordless, press forward with punches, sweep kicks, dive kicks, rolls, and wall jumps.
