Nidhogg 2 Download PC

Nidhogg 2 is a fighting game and sequel to Nidhogg by indie developer Messhof. It was released for Microsoft Windows, macOS and PlayStation 4 in 2017. A Nintendo Switch version was released in November 2018. The game received generally positive reviews from critics upon release.

Gameplay

Nidhogg 2 is a fighting game in which two player duel against each other. The player has to reach the end of their opponent's side first wins. Players have a variety of moves, including sliding and leaping. They can deflect their opponents' attacks. Weapons, such as daggers, throwing knives and bows, as well as a character creator, are introduced.

Development

The title was announced in September 2016 and demonstrated at the 2016 TwitchCon and 2017 Electronic Entertainment Expo Indie Megabooth. It was released on August 15, 2017, on macOS, PlayStation 4, and Microsoft Windows platforms. A Nintendo Switch version is scheduled for release on November 22, 2018. Unlike the original game, which features a minimalistic artstyle, the game's creator Mark Essen and artist Toby Dixon decided to use a more detailed graphical style with a higher resolution so as to reflect the game's increased depth. Another reason for the change is that Essen considered Nidhogg 2 a "spectator game". The artstyle allowed spectators to have more things to look at when they were watching the gameplay.
