    This is a great all round fun game to play with your friends. Forget about single player (it doesn't really exist). This is meant to be played dueling your buddies for a laugh. Its fast paced, simple, and tons of fun.

    Nidhog is a fun indie game at first, however it can get very repetitive.

    PROS
    -Graphics are good
    -Creative combat

    Cons
    -Can grow repetitive .

    Good game, very good bad graphic, and too much simplicity)

    Wish there were more automated modes in VS play, or something like test your luck from MK, because when you have everytime to manually set modificators it is not cool. And nonsense when you set "One death match" you play it once and then you go to the check stage screen - so lame.

    Interesting I never played a game like this. But as a single player its brutally short (1 hour) in single player mode. Played it via PS+ so it doesn’t hurt as much.

    If you like swordplay and action this game is a 1 hour time spent just killing like 16 AI opponents to 'beat the game'. I like this game however because it is so short (1.5 hour max if you are okay at action games) that    Interesting I never played a game like this.

    Nidhogg excels when tackled with a mate in local multiplayer. [Feb 2015, p.95]

    When a perfectly crafted game like this does come along, regardless of the era or art style, just enjoy it. It’s a truly magnificent creation.

    Nidhogg on PS4 is just as great as it was on PC. I’m still hoping for more content, though.
