Nidhogg is a side scroller one on one sword fighting game. I was quite skeptical about how this game will turn out however, my feelings changed when I found myself along with my friends all night I was quite skeptical about how this game will turn out however, my feelings changed when I found myself along with my friends all night challenging each other, battle after battle. Nidhogg is too much fun to pass up, and is currently half its normal price on PS4. Too many times titles try to cram all the nuance of current gen gaming into an 8-bit package, when what really made those games fun WAS the fact that they didn't require so much of the player to understand. Nidhogg teaches a very important lesson to those developers who would put out retro looking titles to cash in on that nostalgia factor: SIMPLICITY BREEDS SOPHISTICATION. This is the kind of brilliant, unscripted gameplay that made classics classic. I was also in a four minute stand-off as I faced my opponent standing across a large gap, both of us daring each other to make the first move. I have ended matches in less than a minute with some deft maneuvering and clever swordplay. This makes the progression of the level flow beautifully, and truly there is never a dull moment in Nidhogg. The respawn timer is only a few seconds, so every second counts. Your goal is to reach the end of the stage, by running frantically every time you manage to skewer your opponent. Each level (there are four) consists of a center stage and three identical stages to either side of the center. This game is one part fencing simulator, one part Bushido Blade and a whole lot of retro chaos. Nidhogg takes a very simplistic formula and uses it to create one of the most tense and rewarding fighting games I've ever had the pleasure of playing. I can't quite place my finger on what makes this game so amazing, but trying to play it without a huge grin on my face was nearly impossible.
