The only issue I had with the new weapons is that it made matches carry on longer than what felt necessary. I really like how it forces players to quickly adapt to a new weapon on the fly as their enemy bearing down on their neck. Under the default rule set (you can customize the rules before each match in local mode), players will spawn with a new weapon after they die. There’s a lot of depth to be found in Nidhogg 2’s gameplay and it’s exciting to see all of it unfold in a single match. Thanks to the new weapons, Nidhogg 2 starts to feel more like a fighting game than its predecessor, probably the biggest and most welcoming change. Broad swords are easily out-maneuvered by the game’s smaller-more pointy fencing-like sword. Arrows can be bounced back towards its user. Each weapon can be easily countered however, which makes combat interesting. Daggers require players to get in close and the broadsword is slow but can easily knock a weapon out of your opponents’ hands. Each weapon behaves differently, for example the bow introduces ranged combat to Nidhogg 2. These weapons include a broad sword, a dagger and a bow and arrow. While fans of the original game may think all of that sounds the same, Nidhogg 2’s gameplay does evolve thanks to the addition of new weapons. Players can also kick their opponent to death in brutal fashion. You can throw your weapon at your opponent, perform a slide kick or a dive kick, or you can simply dodge your opponent when you already have control of the screen. Nidhogg 2’s controls are easy to grasp but come with a lot of depth. The back-and-forth gameplay is tense as the smallest slip-up can mean your opponent will get the best of you and get closer to your end of the arena. Each player must kill their opponent to gain control of the screen so that they can run to the next stage of the level. For new players, here’s the rundown of what to expect in Nidhogg 2’s gameplay: two players are pit in a tug-of-war style match where each player must run into the other’s end of the arena to win. Nidhogg 2 retains many of the same fundamentals of its predecessor, which means fans will adjust easily in this game.
NIDHOGG 2 CODE
MonsterVine was provided with a code for review. Now the studio behind Nidhogg, Messhof, is back with a sequel, and it achieves at delivering new changes without losing any of its quirky personality.
Nidhogg showed the game industry that indie developers could create highly competitive titles. These games led a sort of renaissance of local multiplayer focused games that strengthened the idea of eSports games being more than mainstream titles like Dota, Call of Duty or StarCraft. The first Nidhoggreleased in 2014, and was quickly followed-up by games like TowerFall and Samurai Gunn.
