Nidhogg Pre-Installed:

When I initially loaded the game up, I couldn’t stop laughing at how funny the concept of the actual game was. The controls of the sword fighting feels great and it’s not too complex. It’s all about thinking about what you opponent’s move is going to be next so you can counter it. The multiplayer and single-player mode with bots was both an enjoyable experience all the way through, my only complaint is that the content of the game feels pretty minimal, but for a few bucks it’s definitely worth picking it up especially if you have friends to play it with. In Nidhogg, you win by running far enough to the right or left to get to the end screen while the enemy player tries to do the same. The screen cannot scroll more than one way at a time, however, so there is a very dynamic back-and-forth between offense and defense. It’s important to note that hitting the end screen is the only win condition — matches do not have a timer and there is no kill limit. This means that two relatively equal players can have matches last as little as a minute and as long as an hour.
