    That's TOO MANY I'm gonna do, like, generations?? And I'm using underrated and overlooked interchangeably. PS1/N64 - TOMBA! PS2/Xbox/GC - Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks 360/PS3/Wii - Driver: San Francisco PS4/Switch - Nidhogg 2 PS5 - Potionomics

    This week's recommended game is Dunk Dunk, a sort of cross between Nidhogg 2 and NBA Jam you really oughta try. Me and my kids play it and love it! It's a fun couch co-op game that's easy to learn and absolutely a blast once you master the unique control scheme. And hey! It's 30% off right now!

    🎮 2026 Game #62: Nidhogg 2 Doesn't feel quite as good to play as the first, but still a very enjoyable fighting game with fast and fun gameplay, fluid controls, and a truly unique art style. I've had a lot of fun playing the arcade cabinet version in particular! 7.5/10 #IndieGames

    But hey I mean Nidhogg 2 handily beats the first game in terms of customization and options, it's a better product by far. If they could meet in the middle somewhere, I wouldn't mind.

    I personally really like the aesthetics of everything the artist from Nidhogg 2 has done, except Nidhogg 2 Nidhogg just really is the type of game that style becomes really jarring in) and not in the good way)

    I don't think I've ever felt more out of touch with the general gaming landscape as seeing the reception to Nidhogg 2. It's a fun game, has a different vibe from the first which is fine to me because I can just play the first game if I want that vibe, and the art is genuinely well done.

    Wow. From the art style I was immediately wondering if this was some Nidhogg 2 sequel… I see it's the same artist, now doing a game on his own. Very cool. tbdxn.com

    The first No Quarter featured Mark Essen's game Nidhogg, and Nidhogg 2 is now a successful indie arcade game*. *successful by indie arcade standards.

    The elusive Nidhogg 2 enjoyer. Great game, but that art style change up from the first was so particularly not for everyone.

    What? It's beautiful. I live for that weirdo aesthetic. I know a new indie game with the exact art style as Nidhogg 2.

    #nidhogg2 is an amazing game. Both intrinsically and cos no matter how drunk you are you can still buttonmash to victory.

    61. Nidhogg 2 (played before) there would be an episode about this in Regular Show where Mordecai and Rigby get obsessed with this game and it turns them evil, and so Skips and Benson (who used to play it) have to save them from its malice 7/10

    81. Hog Knuckles- Mux Mool I actually listened to this album for the first time back in 2011-2012, and while i liked i kinda forgot about it for a while. Enter the game Nidhogg 2, with Hog Knuckles as a featured song!! The sound feels ethereal but like in a grounded way? Hard to explain, peep it tho

    Kind of surprised there will be a RoA2 tournament at EVO this year. If anything, it feels it got the Nidhogg 2 treatment in that people liked the simplicity of the first game instead of a dolled-up sequel. RoA1 had lack of shields which made the first game stand out in a good way from Smash Bros.

    Initially the aesthetic of NIDHOGG 2 really put me off. The 1st game was minimalist and iconic, and this is a mess! But this is the best version of frantic Nidhogg party fighting gameplay. And now I love that mess! Rainbow-y, nasty, funny. Can't wait for MORSELS.
