unlabelledView post →The fine folks over at Messhof (of Nidhogg fame) are kicking off the show with an all new, bullet laden platformer called Blood Dungeon! This hand animated game lands later this summer.
unlabelledView post →In case you missed it, added Blood Dungeon to my curator, the new game from the developer of Nidhogg
unlabelledView post →realized a good example of the kind of thing i'm getting at/makes me feel i'm not the only one feeling that wavelength from 1989 PoP is Nidhogg. for those of who didn't get to it - and holy shit the game is 12 years old now?! - it's sorta like 'what if we made bushido blade for the apple II'

unlabelledView post →Ive been doing New Game+ on Theodis - Seeing him walk up to Nidhogg like this still gives me chills. The Dragonsong War destroyed his family inside-out and left him broken and alone at just 16. He was ready to see it end and more than determined to see it through. 💙 #PeachyWoLs | #PeachyLore
unlabelledView post →It's that time of year again, where I get thralled by an npc in game and pass it along to you via sexy gpose! This year it's Nidhogg. It's been a hell of a lot of fun the last two years, and I'm doing it again! All details are in my ffxiv club's discord. (I added dialog in the alt text)
unlabelledView post →Final Steps of Faith. It was my first on content patch, I stayed up all night to play it as soon as it went live. The walk down the Steps towards Nidhogg is still like coolest moment in the game to me. It was The Main Character moment.
unlabelledView post →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
unlabelledView post →Wheel World Unsurprisingly, the latest game from the Nidhogg team is nothing but gold. Playing a "simcade" bike racing game that implores some semi-realistic bike physics with the Forza style open world is a real delight. Looks gorgeous too! store.steampowered.com/app/1497460/...

unlabelledView post →game developers don't want you to know this but Bushido Blade was Nidhogg before Nidhogg
unlabelledView post →Wheel World is a whimsical open-world cycle racing game from Messhof, developer of arcade gems like Nidhogg and Flywrench. A bit outside his wheelhouse (heh) but looks charming as heck.
unlabelledView post →This man is humble I got like 4-0'd in Nidhogg (but, perhaps more truly than has ever been before, it was close tho) If you follow me from the fighting game sphere and haven't watched That's Right We're Gonna Cheat yet, follow Tie and give that a look. It's about mystery game! You love this!
unlabelledView post →I’ve been spending time with Wheel World over break. Likely a victim of Anna Purna imploding earlier this year. It doesn’t knock my socks off, but it’s impressive that the Nidhogg studio’s first 3D game can be “Zelda Meets Burnout Paradise On Bikes.” Currently 30% off. youtu.be/JmL15GGO1SA?...
unlabelledView post →That walk towards Nidhogg before his Trial. That's when the game fully had me in its grip and has not let me go since.
unlabelledView post →🔴LIVE FROM 6PM BST🔴 We'll be having a bloody Bank Holiday on Platform32 this evening as I find out what in the Gamepass Blood Dungeon even is! Is the new game from the creators of Nidhogg worth a download? Find out here: youtube.com/live/agA598E... or on twitch.tv/platform32
unlabelledView post →i hc most of the scions as older (like y'shtola & krile should be in their 30s like thandred & urianger) same with like. Erenville and Wuk'Lamat as well hrhshfhse also Estinien should have some draconic features after Nidhogg but I've been too lazy to actually mod those into the game tbh
unlabelledView post →It's annoying how good of a fencing game Nidhogg actually is given that it's pretty much the only sword game that engages with how fencing actually works. Like there are other games that have Epee, Sabers and Rapiers but Nidhogg feels like real swordplay.

unlabelledView post →'Hear me out'? I know the game well, and often the knights all would reply with one of three answers: Nidhogg (Agreeable, understandable) Thordan (disgusting) The snow (?)
unlabelledView post →Came third in a five person Magic game with some FF and LotR commander decks tonight. At one point Frodo merged with the Eye of Nidhogg, and it was great! Also my friend got me the beginner pack, I cri
unlabelledView post →3.3. I ways already enjoying the game up until that point but, standing on the bridge across from Nidhogg before The Final Steps of Faith, the claws of this game sunk in and haven't let go since.

unlabelledView post →Appleseed's Indie Game Of The Day! Day 211) Nidhogg by Messhof A simple little fighting game that has you and a friend duking it out in a fencing match. It's a simple concept, simple pixel artwork, but a ton of fun to throw down against your friends within.
unlabelledView post →Omg, heavensward is so full of awesome moments, Thordan looking at you like you're a monster definitely sticks, but the walk to Nidhogg is probably one of my favourite moments in the whole game. The animations of Nidhogg and Hraesvlgr fighing in the sky were also awesome. #FFXIV
unlabelledView post →13. Nidhogg I wish I could play this with people, I have so much fun with this simple game.
unlabelledView post →Played some NIDHOGG with work pals at lunchtime. That game is still overflowing with the juice
unlabelledView post →played and beat Nidhogg 1 and 2 back to back and i've never seen a better example of how making a game more approachable can also make it fundamentally less interesting
unlabelledView post →The whole event leading up to and after the fight with Nidhogg on the bridge. Just love all of it and makes for one of my favorite screenshot moments in the game outside of Shadowbringers and Endwalker.
unlabelledView post →3) Nidhogg! Pixel arcade style fencing game. Actually played like fencing matches and you could do difference stances and guards, you could parry and disarm your opponents, AND you could chuck your sword at them! Fantastic game still, worth picking up as a quick fun time killer game with friends!
unlabelledView post →HOWEVER. The story and bosses are some of the worst I've seen in a Ninja Gaiden game by far. Especially the final boss... Fuck the final boss. Genuinley up there with the worms from the first game, KH1 Xemnas, and Nidhogg from DMC5 as one of the worst bosses I've ever fought. It's THAT BAD.
unlabelledView post →Hey there, Adventurers! It's dungeon time tonight! Which dungeon? The BLOOD DUNGEON! As in, I'm gonna play a new game, Blood Dungeon, made by the folks that made Nidhogg. It looks.. Like a time. So I want to share it with you! We'll be going in blind at 8:00. See you there! www.twitch.tv/cranag

unlabelledView post →Nidhogg was some of the most fun I had with a "party" game. We were drunk as shit and had a tournament.
unlabelledView post →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)
unlabelledView post →Nidhogg but instead of swordfighting it’s game dev
unlabelledView post →Great review! I was really curious to hear about this game. Nidhogg is a classic and it sounds like this one could be too.
unlabelledView post →we gotta have a local multiplayer party! Tower Fall, Samurai Gunn, Mount Your Friends, Crawl, Duck Game, Stick Fight, Overcooked, Nidhogg!
unlabelledView post →Oh shit, new game from the creator of Nidhogg. Looks amazing!
unlabelledView post →Sometime during 3.2 I think. Been playing pretty regularly since then. The 3.3 Nidhogg fight remains a highlight. And I've loved most of the game and will keep loving it. HW, EW and DT being my fav parts. My best friends made a tiny FC and we all split the deeds of the WoL and have a shared story.
unlabelledView post →DMCV runs really well on Switch 2. i just beat Nidhogg with V, he’s super fun. i almost forgot how much i love this game
unlabelledView post →The only game where I accept this is Nidhogg
unlabelledView post →I love Nidhogg but it's more directly based on our old game Hohokum
unlabelledView post →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.
unlabelledView post →Time for a random game. Nidhogg. An old game, but it still checks out. Nidhogg is a game of swordplay, where you have to beat your opponent from the centre of an area to the goal at the end. Oh, & if you make it to the goal area, you get eaten by the Nidhogg. 😥
unlabelledView post →Seconded for the original Nidhogg. It is hands down my favourite fighting game I've played.
unlabelledView post →Oh shit, Nidhogg! Fucking love that game!
unlabelledView post →My favourite fighting game is Nidhogg (the original), which looks like an Atari 2600 game, but plays like one of the most intense battle sims you'll ever come across. I timestamped this video to the 38m30s mark, but just watch the full solid minute until 39m25s. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZWnL...
unlabelledView post →oooh Nidhogg, the game that answered a question I asked for decades: what if we expanded the swordfighting from Prince of Persia? Turns out it was quite enjoyable!
unlabelledView post →A key for the brand new game by the Nidhogg developer just found it's way into my inbox but I am beyond behind on reviews recently so I can't fit this in anywhere. However, I did love Nidhogg and I had no idea they were making a new game so I wanted to shout this out. Releases in 2 days!
unlabelledView post →This and Nidhogg elicited some of the loudest shouts from us - cracker of a party game.
unlabelledView post →Messhof, the Nidhogg devs, made a new game and it uh
