Gameplay[]
The game is played by two (or possibly more) combatants. The objective of the game is to reach the end of the level running in the direction that you spawn. The opponent will spawn facing the other direction. You are given rapier (fencing) blades and are meant to kill the other player and advance to the next stage, where the other player will spawn again until you reach the end of the stage and are eaten by the mythical dragon, Nidhogg.
Trivia[]
The name Niddhog comes from the Norse mythological reference Níðhöggr, which is the dragon that is said to gnaw at the roots of the world's tree Yggdrasill. The tree is said to keep the dragon trapped under the Earth.
