The rules are simple. Reach the other side and kill anyone that stands in your way. Deftly parry and rend their throats, riddle their bowels with arrows, or squish their brains between your toes. The wurm cares not for chivalry.

Rating and Reviews (Monthly)
This chart shows Nidhogg 2's Steam rating and reviews from August 2017 to December 2023. Steam's rating is varying from 84.5% (August 2017) to 77.7% (May 2019).
The 1.2K reviews Top 15% suggest that Nidhogg 2 might be an indie success or even a small AAA success. The chart suggests a long tail distribution, which could mean that the game was promoted at laucnch but that there were no more marketing, update or major discounts after that point.
Review Languages
This donut graph displays the languages of Nidhogg 2's Steam reviews. The most popular language is English (65%), followed by German (6%). There is a nice diversity in the reviews, with 21 languages represented. The game has been translated in only one language (English), it's always good to have more translations to access other markets.
Time Played
This chart displays the time played in Nidhogg 2 depending if the reviewer left a positive or a negative review. The time in game is acceptable, with 8 hours in the 80th percentile.
The negative reviews play time is 3.8 times lower than the positive reviews median play time. When the negative review time is low (median : 69 minutes), it can be a sign that the game crashes on some systems or that players misunderstood the nature of the game (Does the Steam page clearly explain it, with gifs and a gameplay video ?). It can also mean that some players were somehow offended by Nidhogg 2 and decided to review it and get a refund under 2 hours. The Players' feedback section might give some insight about that.

The intention behind these pros & cons isn't to establish a balanced evaluation of the game, but rather to assist developers in identifying enhancement opportunities. The game's 82.1% rating should be factored in during their evaluation.
Take into account that list was generated using AI on a small sample of Nidhogg 2's Steam review data, it is not meant to be exhaustive. You don't always need to solve every issue. What some players hate might be what your fanbase loves.
