Visually this game succeeds with the old school style Atari fan service, but it has more animation within the levels and on screen than any of those old games. The Vita also received this game and can be played with someone on PS4, which is a great addition to basically any game that’s on multiple platforms. The online mode didn’t seem to work for me and I read online that many people were having the same issue with finding an opponent to face. You can even create a ladder style match amongst many friends to compete in. Nidhogg has a local multiplayer mode that is really fun. If you get your sword knocked out of your hand or have thrown it, you will be resorted to bare knuckle fighting even if the other still has their sword. There are some moves other than jumping and typical sword lunges that you can experience, such as playing dirty by throwing your sword hoping to pierce their face. The respawn time is very short and it forces you to act fast after defeating your opponent, who could reappear right before the door if your not fast enough. If you die or kill your opponent they will spray a pixelated mess all over the stage with whatever color they are. Sometimes you might find yourself just trying to jump over your enemy to make it into the next screen, only hoping to reach the end. There is no time to truly think about how to take down your opponent, which leaves this game up to impulse reactions that could either bring you along victoriously or die a horribly over pixelated death.Įach level is made up of a few different screens with the same feel like an old side scrolling Prince of Persia game. This game controls as simple as you would expect with the d-pad or analog moving your character, pressing “X” to jump and “Square” to attack. Meshoff created a great fast paced sword dueling game that is meant for two players, either online or local. Nidhogg is a blast from the past of being back in the Atari days, but it has more animation and smooth running gameplay than any old game from that old system. Oh boy did I love me that Atari back in the day with some of those great games with barely any visuals.
