Very positive on Steam
“A brilliant marriage of mechanics, level design and music that will be played and talked about for years to come.”
93/100 · PC Gamer “It’s the most exhilarating competitive game I’ve played in years.”
9/10 · IGN “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.”
