Griefhelm

for anyone who is looking for a fun 2D fighting game with simple mechanics, this is for you.

There is a surprisingly small fanbase for what I consider to be the best version and evolution of the massive side scrolling VS game, Nidhog. Griefhelm has fantastic combat, great additions to the system, and can be a true treat for a party. With up to four players, even using AI, it can get really strategic and visually spectacular! There definitely is some jank, I believe due to the single man development. For example, why have 16 weapon slots when there are only 8 in the game? Why have the font and UI generally be ugly and hard to read? Those are things teams usually work out, but I can understand falling to the wayside if the single dev isn't very passionate about those particular pieces of the puzzle. I'd also say a huge amount of time was put into a single player "campaign", when in my mind, this type of game is inherently boring playing exclusively against AI. Either way, Griefhelm is a great success in it's core gameplay concepts and is a real treat to play. It seems like it's completed in it's development lifecycle, so here's hoping the best for the developer on their future projects!

One of the best local couch games out there. Fun with friends as you watch each other go flying from hits with a mace. I wish it would select who actually won the battle for the challenge against AI as it only seems to pick either player one or two. Amazing game though.

This game is really fun. It gets really challenging. I wish there was other players on. This would be a really fun online game. Either way, the campaign is fun. Really simple controls, but takes skill to get good at.

Good!

yeah nah this is ass
