While a story would not have aided this game in becoming more memorable, the giant worm already does a lot to make this game quite impressionable. You’ll be controlling a random weird looking fighter, who finds himself in an arena with an equally odd looking fighter, striving to reach the opponent’s side of the playing field, in order to get munched down by a giant worm.


If you’re hoping to find a story or some greater purpose when playing this game, you’ll be sorely disappointed as there is no story value at all in this title. Duck, dodge, dive, but most importantly skewer your opponent like a kebab and run to the other side of the arena to become the chosen one. For some reason this is what the fighters consider to be the ultimate goal in Nidhogg 2, which is now released for the Nintendo Switch. We can become heroes, villains, even gods if we want to be, but sometimes there’s an odd pickle in the jar that presents us with a totally different goal completely, namely getting eaten by a giant worm called the Nidhogg. This is where videogames come in, as they allow us to become things we never imagined possible, or they allow us to live completely different lives in an online environments. Well we aspire to be many things in life, we often only get to become one or two things, depending on our time, focus, talents and abilities.
