There are only 4 weapons, excluding hand-to-hand, to figure out and each one has their advantages and disadvantages. Killing your opponent with a Rapier to the face is both skillfully and visually satisfying. Once you learn all your moves, it comes down to outmaneuvering your opponent. Throwing your weapon is just pressing up and the attack button at the same time. Roll/slide is just pressing down as you’re running forward to roll and then press attack to slide tackle. Besides the basic attack, jump, and changing your stance level there is also a roll/slide and the ability to throw your weapon.
NIDHOGG 2 HOW TO
Since they also don’t tell you how to play there is a decent learning curve to hurdle over for some of the less obvious moves. Like I mentioned above the gameplay is a 2D 1v1 fighting game, but there is a certain level of skill and strategy involved in it. Strangely the arcade mode does not feature a difficulty setting so there is no way to challenge yourself further. The longest an arcade match took me was 32 minutes and that was my very first run when I had no idea about the various moves you can do that they don’t teach you. Arcade mode will pit you against an AI enemy who will ramp up difficulty as you progress through the stages. Besides online multiplayer there is an arcade mode and a local 1v1 and local tournament that features up to 8 players. There are only a handful of modes to play so unfortunately there isn’t a ton of replayability, considering I couldn’t find any online matches to participate in I wasn’t able to test it out. Why getting eaten by this giant flying worm is considered winning is still a mystery. That’s about it, so let’s jump into the gameplay. But to elaborate a little more on what I wrote above, Nidhogg 2 is a 2D, side scrolling, 1v1 fighting game where you need to use various weapons and melee to make your way to the end where you’ll then be eaten by a flying worm and be crown victor. Nidhogg 2 is all gameplay and it doesn’t care if you don’t know what is going on. This is typically the paragraph where I give a synopsis of what the game is about and some plot points, but there isn’t much to say. Even though you’ll have no idea WHY, it is still pretty dang entertaining to gore your opponents in what I assume is just a very unique fighting game. You just hop right into an arcade mode and start fighting. Hell, there isn’t even a training mode or tutorial. Why are these characters fighting each other to get to the end just to be eaten by a massive flying worm? That’s literally the entire point of the game and it is never explained. Just a forewarning: I never played the first Nidhogg, but I’m starting to think maybe I should. Even after playing Nidhogg 2 for a while, conquering the arcade mode a handful of times and messing around with the local multiplayer.
