Nidhogg 2
Nidhogg, the indie competitive fencing game with the weird name that makes sense if you look up its meaning, is getting a sequel.
The original game was a simple, but engaging title with visuals that recalled games like the very first Prince of Persia. The sequel's visuals have been radically overhauled, but the core combat moves forward. Additions, outside the aesthetic ones, include new weapons like bow and arrow and axe, as well as fatality moves, which you can see in the trailer below.

For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
