why should I play this game? It seems expensive and looks......
....
and...?
Finish your thought!
Gameplay always comes first, beyond story or visuals. Gameplay is what makes a game tick.
And gameplay is where Nidhogg shines.
It's tense tactical game where your skills as a player matter as much as your ability to lure and trick your opponent.
It's a subtle give and take, of establishing patterns only to break them, of intimate moments of stillness and caution as the two of you step back and forth anticipating the first strike.
It's a game where all are equally matched, where true skill decides the victor rather than the perks, upgrades, boosters of so many other games
Not that the visuals are bad either. They just work, and the smooth animations make each fight seem fluid and dynamic. While I love Samurai Gunn's lightning fast pace and more varied maps, Nidhogg slower paced, more cerebral challenge is absolutely addicting. And while you may be able to leap through the air with ease in Samurai, you're much more agile and versatile in Nidhogg
I rarely play online games, but Nidhogg has me hooked. This is a must play
