Review copy of game provided by publisher. It’s still a fun and frantic game, and that quality shines throughout, regardless of walking the same line as the first. For newcomers, it’s no worries, for fans, it could be a slight disappointment. More of the same and just a different look. I feel like a sequel should usually try to mix things up a bit or do more, but Nidhogg 2 feels like a safe bet. I couldn’t really tell much of a difference between the two other than new backgrounds, new visuals, and new sound and music. Yet the gameplay, for better or worse, seems to be almost the exact same. I walked away really enjoying the visuals, and would love to see more games with this odd Claymation, obscure style. The visual style is going to be a love or hate affair. Though this is where I feel it might be disappointing for some, especially returning players. Let me be clear, Nidhogg 2 is a great experience and offers the same awesome moments the first game does. This is where a little bit of the magic was removed from my eyes. I got to see the difference in visual style and gameplay. Yet by chance, I went to a local group gathering and played the first for a little bit after all my time with part 2. So as I stated, I never played the first before the second. The idea of fighting with stances high, mid, and low, along with jumping and throwing weapons, it’s frantic fantastic fun. Battles can turn deadly in a second or last a minute plus. Once finished, it’s the online realm or couch co-op that will offer the most replayabilty. It’s bare bones, and expect no story or anything else that might accompany a regular game’s arcade experience. It won’t take most more than 30 minutes or so depending on skill level. Playing the arcade mode is rather simple and an easy way to train. This causes a tug of war back and forth to see how far a player can get. If defeated, the enemy moves towards their screen. As players defeat the opponent, they are given time to move towards their objective, which is making it to the end of numerous screens. Yet there is a certain finesse required to be a master at this, and it can lead to some intense back and forth moments. Controlling the character is as simple as moving left or right, jumping, attacking, and moving forward to the next screen.Īgain, it sounds simple, and in a lot of ways it is. From jumping online and playing with another player, or going through the arcade mode, one thing is certain, this is a simple game that most people can easily pick up and play. Tug o’ warĪfter a few minutes with Nidhogg 2, I was starting to get a clear picture on just what this game was about. I could see the visuals had changed quite significantly, but was the core gameplay changed or modified? How does it even play? All these questions and more popped into my head, and I’d get more answers than expected even if not planned entirely. So coming into this latest iteration, I had no idea exactly what to expect. I sadly never played it before Nidhogg 2. One might think that it is an exceptional weapon for an exceptional shooter.I’d heard a lot about Nidhogg, from the simplistic graphics to the simple yet intense gameplay. As a result of this, tanks need to organize a tank-swap in order to prevent the main-tank from. Whenever these players (marked as Fangbound) take damage from any source, Nidhogg's Fang will heal itself based on that damage. The dragon evokes a lot of things including strength and "elite". Nidhogg's Fang (blue) will spawn at 50 health and randomly tether itself to three players, including the main-tank. The dragon scales on the part of the weapon adds a touch of elegance and rustic. The tasks evoke it clearly demonstrating that the person who has the "battle-scarred" weapon has blood on his hands. In addition the degradation of the weapon makes appear the red color. It's an amazing finish! After creating a wood texture and turning into "Normal Map", it allowed me to create an effect on parts that normally are "erased" by the effect "Patina". Gold is also an essential point, it was at the time the most important thing (see the treasure hunt). To evoke the vintage style, there are obviously quite dark colors, and very archaic. Simply because this weapon is a barrel and evokes very simply the old mechanism of the pistols. I was currently playing Assassin's Creed : Syndicate, and I wanted to transcribe the Victorian / Steampunk style on this weapon. I really really enjoyed drawing on this skin. This gun has made a lot of controversy in the world of Counter-Strike.
