This leads to countless moments of skill that are as frequent as they are fleeting. Players need to react quickly, adapting to situations and strategising on the fly and the controls never get in the way of that. The controls are just as good as before in so far as they never get in the way. In this respect Nidhogg 2 is instantly familiar. You can also throw your sword as a last ditch hail mary once your opponent has gotten past you. You can run, jump, slide and dive kick while your sword can be used to block and strike. The combat and movement are what made Nidhogg special. Battles tend to be back and forth affairs, with players trading kills and recovering ground in a tug of war fashion. Whoever gets the first kill then runs forward and attempts to avoid the revenge of their swiftly reincarnated opponent. You and your opponent face off in the middle of seven screens. Most importantly, the gameplay is much the same. With a game that’s so laser-focused, it was always going to be risky going for a sequel but Nidhogg 2 is here and while it doesn’t take too many chances with the formula but does add a few things.
