Combat

Moving on the addition of more weapons to the mix is an enjoyable and interesting expansion on the game, and overall I have no real complaints here.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
65 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The art style is beautiful but there aren't a ton of weapons you get in the single player, so it gets boring fast.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.

Nidhogg 2 is a great game, It builds on the strengths of Nidhogg 1 and expands on various ideas while introducing new content to keep you engaged.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
45 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Whilst this is still a short game there is plenty of fun to be had, its the online play that will keep it going if anything. the singleplayer doesn't take long at all, but you can create local tourneys and quick plays if you invite your friends round for a laugh.
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
35 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I think the game's biggest strengths are in the multiplayer, but the fact that the FPS dips, the long wait times, and lacklustre design, it all leads to just a frustrating experience.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
27 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
And, with music from artists including Mux Mool, Geotic, Doseone, Osborne, and Daedelus, Nidhogg 2 has a soundtrack so good that even the menu screens are awesome.
