Nidhogg is the epic award-winning fencing tug-of-war full of graceful acrobatics and clumsy stabs. IRL yelling and excitement may occur in this 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 combat arena stretches in both directions although besting an opponent only gains you ground. Matches arent won or lost with a single kill but with a series of kills granting you right-of-way to run/fight/flee to your own goal-zone. Each arena holds different strategic formations and chokepoints to use to your advantage. Until you reach your goal-zone anything is possible. Only one thing is certain in Nidhogg… the only way to win is to outwit your opponent. En Garde!
