About this game
Show more Show less
Nidhogg is the epic award-winning fencing tug-of-war, full of graceful acrobatics and clumsy stabs. IRL yelling and excitement may occur, in this ultimate two-player showdown of fast-paced fencing and melee attacks.
Beware, advantages in Nidhogg are often fleeting, as new opponents continually spawn in your way. Use a variety of fencing maneuvers while armed -- lunges, parries, and even dirty tricks like throwing your sword. If swordless, press forward with punches, sweep kicks, dive kicks, rolls, and wall jumps.
The combat arena stretches in both directions, although besting an opponent only gains you ground. 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.
Each arena holds different strategic formations and chokepoints to use to your advantage. Until you reach your goal-zone, anything is possible. Only one thing is certain in Nidhogg… the only way to win is to outwit your opponent. En Garde!

Nidhogg is a very fun game. I really enjoy it, and... hell... I think YOU might too. Give it a whirl, a twirl, might be as valuable-as-a-pearl, call your buddy Earl and he'll give your tools...... a good knurl? Goo...
def not worth $10, insanely little content, but fun for a few hours, get on deep sale if you can
genuinely peak. 10/10 boii
One of the funniest coop vs games I have ever played. It's so perfect in it's simplicity. Nidhogg 2 is also recommended, but this first one is very special and "raw".
