This game was recommended to me by a friend and I spent weeks developing something so I could play it on Mac, see here: https://github.com/aaf2tbz/metalsharp . Anyways, I have never enjoyed a split screen game so much in my life, genuinely. So much so that I would buy it for 10 friends if I had that many. It's brutal, fun, has a new and unique art style, and even the single player mode is fun and challenging. I love the music and I can play this game for hours on repeat. I recommend the developers bring this game native to macos because that's where I've been playing and enjoying it so much. Would love to see more of these types of games be natively supported on hardware like mine. Recommend to all players, young and old, it will make you rage and also make you pump your fist in victory every time you win. Dopamine inflicting as hell, 20/10 experience.
A very cool concept executed exceptionally well. Nidhogg 2 feels like a mash-up of the playground game *Red Rover* and the original *Mortal Kombat* trilogy (oh yes, i'm old enough to be familiar with both sets of experiences). The objective has the frantic tug-of-war energy of the former, while the latter is reflected in its fast-paced combat, chunky sprite work, and satisfyingly responsive controls. I mean both comparisons as high praise. My biggest criticism is that the solo campaign can be brutally difficult, and there's no way to save your progress. You're expected to finish an entire run in one sitting or start over from the beginning—a true arcade philosophy. Unfortunately, I don't have the time or skill to see a full run through, though making it halfway was challenging in the best kind of way. Despite that, I had a great time. The mechanics are simple to learn but surprisingly deep, and the controls are tight enough that every victory feels earned. If you enjoy strange, demanding games that reward perseverance, Nidhogg 2 is well worth your time.
