About Nidhogg

. . 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!. . . . . 5 Challenging Arenas. Castle, Wilds, Mines, Clouds and Fields… where will your skills excel? Each level has multiple rooms that test your skills as a player, and highlight

Hard to put down

I love sticking my sword in my friends chest and wiggling it up and down until they leave and never talk to me again and im sad and alone and this is actually a cry for help but im too prideful to tell anyone important about it so instead i continue my self destructive streak by confessing my feelings only in a steam review that nobody will read but the games pretty good

Step 1) Buy Nidhogg

Step 1) Buy Nidhogg. Step 2) Buy 2 controllers. Step 3) Find some friends. Step 4) Get your friends all riled up and competitive. Step 5) Play Nidhogg with friends using controllers. Step 6) Enjoy the most hilarious exchange of cowardly and un-man-ful screaming you will ever hear. This game is truly amazing as a local vs. experience. Plus, the sound track on some of those stages is amazing. Great game, increadibly precise, but accessible. Tons of fun!
