    A really pretty knight fighter with solid audio design that is buried by poor design choices and shallow gameplay.

    Much like the medieval weapons in use, Griefhelm’s lack of polish is easily recognizable. If this were an early access lower-priced title, the wild ragdoll effects and clumsiest moments would be quickly excused by consumers. Griefhelm’s developer does seem to be improving aspects of the AI and gameplay with recent and consistent updates, but the unsophisticated final product on offer amounts to a risky recommendation at best.

    A realistic take on the Nidhogg formula does sound intriguing. However, after spending some time with Griefhelm, I would much rather go back to the outlandishly gross-out world of Nidhogg 2 than hang around this bland, grim-dark setting.

    It really is nothing special, but its not bad either. I wish they had given the different weapons a way different feeling

    Game with great feeling combat, brilliant looking visuals and that scratches that Nidhogg itch .
