Nidhogg was (and still is) a cult indie sword-fighting game from 2014. Its bizarreness can easily be described with a GIF:

It goes even more back, to 2011 when it was the IGF winner of the Nuovo Award (yes, the weird one). Well deserved.

I’ll be honest, I didn’t pay enough attention to it to understand it, until this year at Dan Fessler’s post-GDC pixel art party where people were playing it on the big screen (Dan is a cunning swashbuckler himself). Seeing some of the high-level play really made it shine, with people throwing blades at each other, picking them up at the last moment and turning the tide around three times before you finished a sip of your drink.

It was fencing at its finest.

Last month the development duo Messhof (Mark Essen and Kristy Norindr) released a long-awaited sequel with a new art style, character customization and more weapons.

It gathered plenty of very positive reviews on Steam already, where you can get it for $15. No time to lose! Go poke some eyes with sharp things.

The ritual of fighting through to the death, until the player is swallowed by the giant worm at the end of each round, is an integral component to Nidhogg. Not just does it provide another layer of meaning to the endless carnage a single round employs, but it also provides a sort of reset to the events as a whole. Rather than ending on the opponent’s loss, instead the focus is on the “winner” still being eaten alive.
