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)
  

Chart showing the monthly evolution of Nidhogg 2 steam rating, positive and negative reviews.

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.

Time Played

Chart displaying Nidhogg 2 percentiles of time played for positive, negative, and early access reviews.

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.
