A fighting game where fighting is (kind of) optional: Nidhogg

Thank you for checking out my video! If you like what I do and would like to support me to do more of it, and you have some spare cash, consider donating on Ko-fi (which will also get you access to my Discord server): https://ko-fi.com/frumiousgaming In my last video about one-hit 2D indie fighting games, I didn't mention Nidhogg, much to the shock of dozens of commenters. Here you go, a video on Nidhogg and some reflection on why I didn't think of it when working on the last video. Sometimes Nidhogg feels like a fighting game, and sometimes like a platformer - let's get into it.
