Release Date: January 13th 2014

Nidhogg is a frantic fencing game in which you play tug of war with your opponent, trying to be the first to go through four stages of a level to win. New opponents will continuously spawn in your way and you must successfully battle them to continue on. If you lose then your opponent will start running towards the end of their level and you must defeat them in a 1v1 battle to stop them.

That is the premise of this crazy sword toting game. Along with really awesome retro graphics and dynamic music Nidhogg is a really interesting indie game. But is there enough substance in this game to justify buying it? Or does it get old after just a few playthroughs?
