Title
This game is like Dark Souls, insofar as I will never have the reflexes to be truly good at it. Nidhogg's a great little slice of arcade vs multiplayer, almost finely tuned and balanced (if a defender stands on the ledge, you're screwed), but it is technically very difficult, way beyond my capabilities.

Title
This is easily the best local multiplayer game ever. The only downside exists outside of this game, though, in that its not popular enough for anyone to get good at it who hasn't played it before, and the learning curve (which makes the game fun) ends up screwing over new players as experienced ones are just naturally better and can't tone down their skill. Its definitely one of those games where you can legitimately say "oops I guess I'm too good" and mean it. Get it when it goes on sale, which is often, and buy another copy for a buddy with the money you've saved so you can play it next over a couple of beers.

    I don't think I agree with the reviews saying that it's too hard to pick up against somebody who's played the game extensively. Anybody with experience in any sort of competitive game with repeated rps elements (obviously fighting games primarily but there's lots of other competitive games with similar elements) will intuit what's going on and be able to leverage their skill in a matter of minutes. Obviously this still leaves a large crowd who won't have this prior experience, but it then works as a good introduction to that skillset.
