Nidhogg is an award winning game by Messhof, an indie game developer spearheaded by Mark Essen. Don’t let the game’s simplistic visuals deceive you, beneath it’s Atari-esque pixels lies an incredibly deep combat system involving dueling with swords and hand to hand combat.

There’s a ton of different environments to slay your enemies in, including mines, castles, wilds and even clouds! Nidhogg was shown off at EVO last year, to which fans praised the various in game abilities like crawling, dive kicking, wall jumping, rolling under enemies, and even snapping the necks of your foes via hand to hand combat.
