Games Like Nidhogg

Nidhogg is a fast-paced 2D sword duel that feels like a mix of a ninja battle and a twisted arcade dream. You play as a knight or a dragon, racing down a narrow vertical tunnel while slashing at each other with swords that can parry, dodge, and slice through the air. The goal is simple but chaotic—kill your opponent by slicing them in half or pushing them off the edge. The game is all about timing and precision. You feel every clash of steel and the sudden rush of a well-timed lunge. It has a raw, energetic vibe with a synth-heavy soundtrack that pushes you to keep moving. The visuals are simple but punchy, and every match feels like a short burst of adrenaline. You can play alone against AI or with a friend locally or online. It’s not about long campaigns or deep stories. It’s about quick matches that build tension and end in a satisfying clash. If you love fast fights, tight controls, and that electric moment when you almost win but just miss the parry, this game will grab you hard.
