Nidhogg 2 Reviews
Nidhogg 2 keeps the arcade element that make the first one so successful and includes some mechanics that improves the gameplay loop and makes it more strategic and a little more deep of what we thought.

Built very heavily upon the mechanics of its predecessor, Nidhogg 2 mostly aims to presenting a new flare and new options...but those options make the experience harder to get into, producing a game mostly for people who already played and loved the first entry.
Just like the original, Nidhogg 2 is at its best when played in multiplayer, with little else to recommend it.
Nidhogg 2 offers plenty of new content for fans of the original, and while its new art style isn’t for everyone, the game manages to build on the original’s level design and make for much more challenging melees that test your reflexes and friendships.
Messhof have taken the unique thrill of the first Nidhogg and channelled it into an excellent sequel that develops the experience and makes it essential. Pick it up on Steam and get ready to ruin your many friendships
The original Nidhogg was a huge surprise to me when it released. It turned out to be a game that I never even knew I wanted and I wound up sinking a ton of time into it. For better or for worse, after the success of the original title, Nidhogg 2 carries with it some expectations. The good news is, fans of the original will no doubt like what they find here, even if the sequel doesn't quite feel as fresh as the first game did.
The hungry Wurm is back with Nidhogg 2 and I am more than glad! With better visuals and add-ons like new stages and weapons, Nidhogg 2 brings honor to its predecessor. The game offers brilliant fast-paced combat with hilarious and gruesome moments and this is exactly what I was expecting from it. Nidhogg 2 is a must if you want to spend some quality time full of laughter with your friends! Feed the big bad worm!
Messhof has crafted a sequel that manages to surpass their 2014 masterpiece. Offering more weapons and gameplay options, a fully featured singleplayer campaign, a new art style and an incredible soundtrack, Nidhogg 2 proves that sometimes, more is better.
Nidhogg 2 is a gross fighting game. Like, really gross.
Unless you have a rabble of drunk friends on your couch, Nidhogg 2 is a pretty hard sell.
Nidhogg 2 is insane, but I say that in the best possible way. Simple controls with simple goals make Nidhogg 2 an easy one to recommend. There's a decent single-player challenge, though it's not all that long, and the multiplayer will keep you and your mates challenging each other to duels to the death for a long while to come.
Pure multiplayer carnage times 100
Nidhogg 2 feels like a fuller version of its fundamentals with expanded art and music.
In motion when two players are facing off against each other it’s brilliant. Playing the game is nonstop fun. Heck, even watching two players have at it is a cracking time.
New maps and enough weapon variety to warrant more depth makes Nidhogg 2 one of the best when it comes to local competitive games.

Still, Nidhogg 2 works as amazing as the first one, creating adrenaline loaded rounds full of hatred between friends, when one of you keeps killing the other. At the end, it’s a very safe played, unsurprising game, nonetheless, it´s a guarantee for fun at every gaming session, in a definitive version.
Nidhogg 2 is just a pure blast to play. If you have friends that live close by, the $15 buy in point is perfect for a game that offers this many laughs.
Despite the drastic visual changes, Nidhogg 2 does not distance itself from what made the gameplay of the first game be quite celebrated. The changes are not plentiful, but they improve the package of the basic Nidhogg experience by adding interesting variables in combat. The game does not offer so much for those who prefer to play alone, but like its predecessor, Nidhogg 2 is one of the best multiplayer options on the market.

[G]ames are my preferred method of avoiding people, and my view of games like this is generally that they exist as bait for the kind of Youtubers whose video thumbnails consist of them making a ridiculous face, so it’s saying something that I found myself holding my controller in a white knuckle grip and getting mad at little pixel art cartoon guys.
