Nidhogg is the award-winning fencing tug-of-war, full of graceful acrobatics and clumsy stabs. This is the 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.
Runs well on modern hardware.

When i think of the best 1v1 multiplayer games or modes on the market, this lil gem will always make the list. I own it on 2 platforms and have spilled the guts of many friends and family. I cant recommend it enough
I play Nidhogg all the time with my friends on local multiplayer (we literally just share the keyboard on my laptop). The one-button fencing is super easy to pick up, but the mind games and timing make every single match feel incredibly intense. We always end up playing way longer than planned because the rounds are so quick (or not so quick sometimes!) and addictive. While the online multiplayer can be a bit quiet due to a lower player count, I'd still highly recommend it if you're looking for a local multiplayer game that's simple to set up but actually has some real skill depth.
Such a nice game, it's super fun and made me laugh countless times. The soundtrack is great, the animations perfectly enhance the goofy cartoon way of movement this game has i love it and it's super quick to just get in and fight a bit with a buddy
