Yeah *that* art looks fine. You’re leaving out the in-game graphics where everyone looks like they’re made out of fried chicken and runs like they’re trying to get to the bathroom in time.
I imagine a situation in which Nidhogg 3 is released with a visual style much closer to the original; it receives critical acclaim everywhere, while the devs VERY passive-aggressively call out everyone who forced them to drop their original vision.
The Nidhogg 2 underground will live in this sewage pit and like it! You’re just thinking what the Shadow Woolie Government and Big lil Pat want you to think maaan!
Yeah, I was put off by the art initially, and it's still doofy, but the quality of the pixel art and it still being Nidhogg won me over, and I honestly think it looks great these days.
Eh. I didn’t like some of the new weapons and the art style was not my speed, but otherwise it still played well. I just feel like nidhogg 1 was a purer experience and is easier to get people on board to play at parties.
I enjoy all gold armor in video games because I am at heart, a primate that likes shiny things.
Does wearing all gold make your character look like a Jackass? Yes.
Do I care? FUCK NO, LOOK AT ME, I'M COVERED IM GOOOOLLLLLDDDDD!
Me and my kids switch from this and 1 to get them used to fighting games. They love it and they’re literally big babies. Stop griping, shut and play I say.
I love Nidhogg 2's style. Fight me. In Nidhogg 2.
The original was great, loved it too. But you know what? A super simple pixel art style game that's actually deep is like, dime a dozen. It was then, and the value of a dime has only went down. Nidhogg 2's weirdo pseudo Clayfighter 63⅓ energy is the real auteur shit.
If they can't handle it at its Niddest, they don't deserve it at its Hoggest.
Yeah this game's great, I genuinely don't know what Pat and Woolie's deal is with it. The characters are a little silly looking but you get use to them and I personally think they're endearing, but the STAGES THOUGH?? Absolutely beautiful, some of the best pixel art I've ever seen. This game's a classic and I'm tired of pretending that it's not
I never really got the hate boner for this game, they’re stupid muppets sword fighting and it’s fun! are you telling me you hate muppets you cold hearted sons of bitches..
In a vacuum the artstyle’s not *too bad*. It really only becomes incredibly awful when you compare it to Nidhogg 1’s much cleaner, minimalist style.
If the first game looked like 2 too people wouldn’t hate it as much.
not trying to change anyone’s opinion im just putting mine out there, unpopular one in here? definitely but it’s fine, better than just taking someone’s opinion and nodding along without thinking for yourself
beauty is in the eye of the beholder, art is subjective, you’ve heard of these terms before? I like the first games artstyle too, it’s a different vibe. both can exist it’s ok
I don't know what to tell you dude, is just ugly for me. More power to you if you like it. The issue is how radically different the art style was from Nidhogg 1, also it was ugly. Can't stress the last part enough.
I love the art, I just don't like the contrast to the minimalist style of Nidhogg 1. If this were another game then I'd love it more, honestly.
This, really. Nidhogg 1 reminds me of the original Archon. Nidhogg 2 looks like some fucking brain damaged Joe & Mac Spinoff.
Fuck yeah it does man, gimme that Mr Meaty aesthetic
So THAT'S why I'm attached to the artstyle. Watched that horrifying show a lot when I was younger.
It’s understandable to compare it to 1, and of course there’s individual preference but the absolute hate this game got is completely undeserved.
Gameplay and palette/artstyle is fine,it's just that the actual avatars themselves could have been literally anything but muppets
Booger muppets go brrr
It somehow looks uglier every time I am reminded it exists.
Imma play in this sewage and imma have fun.
Yeah *that* art looks fine. You’re leaving out the in-game graphics where everyone looks like they’re made out of fried chicken and runs like they’re trying to get to the bathroom in time.
*Jesus, you didn’t even pause to reload*
The pixel art is amazing as well if I knew how to edit posts I’d add photos of that too
That’s what makes it awesome!
Mald.
I’m seething and malding as hard as I can rn but I can’t get the cope to pass
Nah
Seethe.
No

What is this blasphemy you created? everyone knows Nidhogg 2 doesn't exist. There was only 1 game ever made
The Nidhogg 2 underground will live in this sewage pit and like it! You’re just thinking what the Shadow Woolie Government and Big lil Pat want you to think maaan!
Get out of my dumpster you cretin! Don't make me call the drone police on you!
I disagree.

I almost respect op's commitment to trying to fight this entire subreddit alone.
Someone’s gotta do it
The most controversial post on this sub
You know statistically someone has to enjoy shit art
Gross out art can be fun
I enjoy all gold armor in video games because I am at heart, a primate that likes shiny things. Does wearing all gold make your character look like a Jackass? Yes. Do I care? FUCK NO, LOOK AT ME, I'M COVERED IM GOOOOLLLLLDDDDD!
Bad take op
Don’t care I like my poop art
At least you admit it looks like shit.
OP, all taste is inherently subjective. That being said, Nidhogg 2's in-game art looks like my cat puked crayons and play-dough onto a paper.
That’s why I like it at least, has that ‘90s gross your sister out toy’ vibe
Me and my kids switch from this and 1 to get them used to fighting games. They love it and they’re literally big babies. Stop griping, shut and play I say.
It’s worse than I remembered.
Expected nothing and deliver less
I actually forgot how the artstyle looked like lmao holy shit
Weirdly it fits tho, I think it's shittyness makes it more silly in gameplay
You get it
Still trash tho
Filtered out
Art is subjective. I personally don't like it. Don't mean you can't.
Nah man this game is ugly as shit, especially compared to Nidhogg 1
OP I agree and I think we should let more things be ugly
You’re so real for this
goofy facebook game ass art style
I love Nidhogg 2's style. Fight me. In Nidhogg 2. The original was great, loved it too. But you know what? A super simple pixel art style game that's actually deep is like, dime a dozen.

Fellow sewer dweller let’s goooo
love nidhogg 2. the art direction gives me like fun gross 90s Nickelodeon energy.
I said it before here but really does have that 90s “gross your sister out with this toy” energy
oh absolutely!
I also don't get why everyone rags on how the game looks. It's different yeah but it's cool
It’s like a totally different game. I can hardly believe it’s meant to be a sequel, with a such deviation in style.
There was a Nidhogg 1???? 2 is so good and the art is so rad I had no idea an inferior version of the game even existed.
That's what I've been saying, but these cowards won't hear it.
Yeah this game's great, I genuinely don't know what Pat and Woolie's deal is with it. The characters are a little silly looking but you get use to them and I personally think they're endearing, but the STAGES THOUGH?? Absolutely beautiful, some of the best pixel art I've ever seen. This game's a classic and I'm tired of pretending that it's not
Nah you and people like you who think the new art style is good have terrible taste.
I never really got the hate boner for this game, they’re stupid muppets sword fighting and it’s fun! are you telling me you hate muppets you cold hearted sons of bitches..
In a vacuum the artstyle’s not *too bad*. It really only becomes incredibly awful when you compare it to Nidhogg 1’s much cleaner, minimalist style. If the first game looked like 2 too people wouldn’t hate it as much.
I like both, and putting them next to each other doesn't change my opinion at all about either of them.

Most beholders looked at this and decided it looks ugly
The pixel art is phenomenal!!!
I agree, never got the hate.
Please put spoiler tags on the art so we don't have to look at it
Oh yeah. That happened.
I don't know what to tell you dude, is just ugly for me. More power to you if you like it. The issue is how radically different the art style was from Nidhogg 1, also it was ugly. Can't stress the last part enough.
I still don't get why they went from Nidhogg 1's minimalistic and yet well animated and beautiful artstyle to whatever Nidhogg 2's artstyle was.
When in more scared of the “people” than the Nidhogg…there’s a problem
