    This is definitely designed as a local two-player game. If you're not thinking about playing this sitting next to a friend, then I would definitely not recommend this game. However, we spent a solid hour and a half playing this game during the last Super Bowl, so it definitely can be fun in groups. The online play is pretty much a joke, so don't get it for that.

    Niddhog 2 improves on the original game's experience to deliver a fun effort that stands out the most when played on local multiplayer, while its single-player experience feels rather empty. Nevertheless, Niddhog 2's combat system and its fluid action and gameplay mean that any party or group of players that picks it up will feel satisfied for doing so.

    Nidhogg 2 is a madcap, tug-of-war fighter that shines in its simplicity. It improves on the original in almost every way, adding in new weapons, stages, and customisation options that bring what made the first special further into the forefront.

    Nidhogg 2 upgrades its predecessor's formula to a grotesque but charming, fast-paced stamina duels. If you have a friend interested in testing his gaming expertise against you, grab this game! If not... Well sadly, nothing to look for in here.
