Nidhogg 2 is a fast-paced and strategic fighting game in which the goal is to reach the other side by any means necessary. Players must fight their way past opponents using a variety of weapons, such as swords, bows, and even their own feet. The rules are simple: kill anyone that stands in your way while deftly parrying attacks or raining arrows on them. There is no room for chivalry; all that matters is reaching the other side first.
