Nidhogg 2 Review – Good Nidhoggy Fun, but with Caveats | GameCloud

Connor Weightman at GameCloud writes: "If you want to know whether Nidhogg 2 itself is a fun fighting game, the answer is yes, yes it is – although you will need friends, preferably local friends, to get much out of it. If you want to know whether it’s an improvement on the original, the answer seems less clear cut. Regarding feel, core gameplay and aesthetics, I’m more attached to the first Nidhogg. However, Nidhogg 2 has a heap more stages to fight on, which the original sorely lacked. In the end we’re stuck in the middle, not getting the best of either. I can’t help but wish, just a little, that Messhof had given the first Nidhogg a content upgrade and patching over instead – although neither can I honestly begrudge them going the cash cow route."
