11/2/2023 0 Comments Nidhogg 2 switch release![]() It’s just incredible fun.Īrcade mode is a good addition, but can’t capture attention for hours where as playing multiplayer you’ll not have believed how much time has passed. And when I say frustrating, it’s not a bad thing, the frustration is often shared between players as they see they’re progress of completing the level dwindle from a silly death and waiting on that re-spawn. The multiplayer and as I mentioned one step forwards, two steps backwards game-play is both parts hilarious and frustrating. The addition of new weapons is welcome for the most part, the new look is also awesome. The Verdictįun, just incredibly funny game. – Single player while fun, can become a tad repetitive. + It’s fun on single player, but shines so bright in multiplayer. + Lots of new weapons and levels gives it a real sequel feel There is so much shouting and screeching and the re-spawn wait in multiplayer feels so much longer than in arcade mode. It is so frustrating but in an absolutely incredible way. It continues to be a very fast and frantic paced battle game, which is a good thing. I have to admit, it took me a while to figure out picking up weapons after they are dropped, and even longer to work out how to throw weapons, but once you’ve got the button combos learned it’s really still very simple to play. Seeing the ghosts of your dead opponent too and the remaining blood splats where his body was as you go back and forth through the level are all really good little touches. Either way it looks great, and the added gore of a kill is a pretty neat touch. It still maintains it’s retro appeal but has improved to slightly newer retro… if that makes sense. The game as mentioned has had a really good visual overhaul. It’s this that spurs you on to continue playing. As it is dubbed as arcade, it plays very much like the old school arcade styles in where if you quit your game, your progress is gone and you start back from level one again. 10 levels of different styled locations such as an air fortress or dungeon or ice world. The single player arcade mode is entertaining for what it is. It was initially a difficult transition to make. Upon first play through I was surprised when playing the ice level to find I was equipped with a dagger. There are now daggers, bow an arrows as well as old faithful fencing sword. But with Nidhogg 2 Messhof have added additional maps, new weapons and of course as is apparent a lovely visual overhaul. That did not hamper the fun whatsoever mind. Two-button game-play with standard and somewhat basic visuals. The original Nidhogg was very simple all around. What’s changed in Nidhogg 2?Īctually quite a lot. But it is so addictive and down right funny. It’s exactly how it feels when trying to progress through the levels for victory. It’s rather hilarious and one of the best ways to summarise how the game plays is simply 1 step forwards, 2 steps backwards. This is your moment to dash as far through the level uncontested as you can. Each time you kill him or her they disappear for a few seconds before re-spawning. To progress to the end of the level you must battle your opponent. However your opponent will be looking to do exactly that, but his end of the level is where you would essentially be starting the level. Well you are trying to do exactly that, progress to the end of the level. Think back to the classic Mario or Sonic titles where your aim is to get to the end of the level and jump up the flag pole or spin the sign in Sonic’s case. When I say battle to the end of the level, you and your opponent are dropped smack bang in the middle of a side scrolling level. ![]() Shoot, stomp, slice or stab your opponent who will be doing the same in return to get to the other end of the level looking for a victory. It’s rather simple really, battle your way to the end of the level. Platforms: PlayStation 4, PC, MacOS, Nintendo Switchĭeveloped by Messhof, Nidhogg returns its duelling fighting madness with a very much improved visual overhaul and it’s finally arrived on Nintendo Switch. The sequel to the hilarious fencing battle game hit Nintendo Switch last month, we were a little late to the party to get a copy for review, but nonetheless we got to play it and it has to be said, we certainly enjoyed what we’ve played.
