Or is this a fighting game? Wait, what is this exactly?\n\nIt’s Nidhogg, a game in which two sabre-wielding duelists with infinite respawns face off in a frenetic, bloody tug of war for the right to throw themselves into the gaping maw of the titular Norse snake god Níðhöggr. Chew on that for a minute.\nIt’s also an incredibly tight and well designed, yet simple and approachable vs. combat game for two players.\nWe also have a good chat about Game Center CX and Mega Man II, as well as Civilization Revolution 2 for iOS.\nAvailability\n\nSteam for Windows & Mac – $15\nHumble Store with Steam Key (10% goes to charity) – $15\nComing soon to PS3 & PS4!\n\nLinks for this episode\n\nGameCenter CX – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia\nGaming CX – GCCX Videos\nRetronauts Volume III Episode 27: Game Center CX\nMega Man 2 – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia\nSid Meier’s Civilization | Official Civ Site | 2K\nNidhogg – Official Site\nNíðhöggr – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia\nEvo 2014 Indie Showcase to host Nidhogg, TowerFall and more | Polygon\nSouth Bay Button Mashers: A Bay Area Video Games Club (Mountain View, CA) – Meetup\nStarwhal: Just the Tip | Home\nNo Quarter | NYU | Game Center\nGameSetWatch Messhof Whips Out Raging Hadron For No Quarter","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/CxYZwjjs_4iLjyLDzLnaaznbL5170eSsi-gM7hls96Q/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9iYzFm/ZGZmOGU2NDYxOTZl/YzAzNTU2NWM4MzJk/NzBmNy5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
