Nidhogg
Nidhogg is the award-winning fencing tug-of-war, full of graceful acrobatics and clumsy stabs. This is the ultimate two-player showdown of fast-paced fencing and melee attacks. Beware, advantages in Nidhogg are often fleeting, as new opponents continually spawn in your way. Use a variety of fencing maneuvers while armed -- lunges, parries, and even dirty tricks like throwing your sword. If swordless, press forward with punches, sweep kicks, dive kicks, rolls, and wall jumps.

The new levels feel rich and generous, and will absolutely reinvigorate the game for anyone who played it to death at indie gaming events. All the new features are as interesting as they are entertaining, from tall grass that hides players entirely, to crumbling clouds, to the aforementioned travelators; only some low ceilings in the Mines level force players into colourless, if tense, sword fights. Tournament mode and big picture mode are welcome, and while online play is prone to (and ruined by) occasional latency, its appearance in a game built for local play felt generous to me. On the subject of generosity, the last thing to cover is Nidhogg's price.

Nidhogg is not about lengthy stage lists, improvable online systems, fussy control mapping or AI. Nidhogg is about the purity of two friends on a couch duking it out as Daedelus’s moody dynamic electronica frames acrobatic displays of wits and reflexes. In that sense, it has no equal.

When a perfectly crafted game like this does come along, regardless of the era or art style, just enjoy it. It’s a truly magnificent creation.

To put it plainly, Nidhogg is incredibly fun. If you can appreciate the game’s style for what it is and you don’t have an ego as fragile as glass, you’ll delight in testing your mettle against another’s.
