56 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Beautifully hand-drawn 2D graphics make sure the Norse atmosphere is rendered well, in this Niffelheim is excellent.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
32 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I'd recommend it based off of the lore, setting, graphics and story alone (I'm a big Norse mythology fan)...
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
28 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It is not a bad game in the end, and the fun can be improved by playing in co-op or PVP with some friends.
