Nidhogg 2 is a 2D dueling game in which two fighters race to reach the opposite side of a stage. It is the sequel to Nidhogg and supports local and online play.

Nidhogg 2 is a sequel to the 2014 game Nidhogg. Two opposing fighters duel in a side-on contest where the goal is to defeat the opponent and reach the other side of the stage. Combat includes parrying and striking with weapons, firing arrows, and attacking with bare feet. The game features art by Toby Dixon.

Players can compete against the AI or a friend in one-on-one matches, or enter 8-player tournaments. Four weapons are available, each with its own distinct traits. Ten stages are included, ranging from castles to the interior of the Nidhogg creature. More than ten game variables can be changed to alter the rules of a match.

Characters can be customised from head to toe. Online play is supported through matchmaking and private games. The soundtrack includes music from Mux Mool, Geotic, Doseone, Osborne and Daedelus.

We've only just started watching this one, so there's no line to draw yet. Read from Steam every few hours, last 2 months ago.
