    The game is extremely funny and fun, playing with friends is pure fun, but the game needs more content, it can become repetitive if it continues the way it is, but it can improve

    Meh.
    The first game was cool for the concept and its semplicity.
    This is a enhanced version with very strange graphics and new weapons and stages (appreciated).
    But I really can't digest the way this game looks and feels

    Nidhogg 2 is an improvement on its predecessor in almost every way. While the core gameplay is still the same, there is an added depth that gives the sequel even great variety. The single-player is not as noteworthy as its multiplayer, but if you regularly host guests, Nidhogg 2 is a great time.

    I get the opportunity to test Nidhogg 2 in a free weekend and I must confess that I liked it quite a lot.

    The game is simple, get to the other side of the map by defeat the enemies that you find in your way. The mechanics are simple, easy to learn and master. Just move around, jump and attack but I must suggest if you are using a keyboard assign your own keys right from the start,    I get the opportunity to test Nidhogg 2 in a free weekend and I must confess that I liked it quite a lot.

    Visually the game is pretty OK. The graphics style is quite nice and the color pallet is awesome. You will see what I am talking about and how everything going to be painted when you slay your enemy for the first time.

    Overall a very nice game for a casual game season... I fully recommend it.    … Expand

    An epic couch multiplayer game. Good mindless fun, don't overthink it. Even non-gamers can pick this up and laugh!

    A tactically challenging duel-game for playing on the sofa. Every fight is full of surprises and can bring your emotions to the boiling point.

    The gameplay is simple and brilliant but the game itself shines as it should only in multiplayer. [10/2017, p.68]

    This is Nidhogg visually enhanced, more varied arenas and more weapons. The core mechanics remain untouched - in good and in bad.
