You "should" do whatever you like, but clearly you want to play its games :)


Just download it on Steam, surely you have a laptop that can run this.

PS TV should tide those non-PS4 owning indie lovers for a while, assuming support is good. Hoping that PS TV support is super easy to certify for devs so indies can get in on it.

Ad-hoc play is great. Also, I'm really pleasantly surprised that online play is coming. I thought that latency was the major barrier to preventing couch co-op from titles from really flourishing online? I've heard really mixed things about Nidhogg's online mp on PC, and I don't think Sony would allow them to include online play as a feature in the PS4 or Vita version if it wasn't a really solid experience so I'm wondering what changed between then and now? This is another day 1 purchase for me though. Can't wait!

EXACTLY why I'm mystified that they are not bringing it to PS3. I do have a laptop and this runs great on it.

Expensive PS3 devkit and requires PS3 programming knowledge. PS4 version is quite easy to port from the PC.

At the end of long workdays I don't have the energy and focus to play PS4 or Steam, all that works for me is to lay in bed with my Vita and relax. It's awesome.

So buy a Vita.

That's what Saltybet is for. Best $5 I ever spent, too, for a month of "Illuminati" membership.

awesome deal. i dont have a vita or PS4 so I will stick to the Steam version for now, but I'm down to double dip when I eventually grab a PS4/PSTV in the future.

Glad to see this game coming to more platforms.

Funny story, my girlfriend (casual, only plays Mario Kart with me, her point and click adventure games she got on the Steam sale, which she hated me for introducing her to :p) played this with me using Steam in home streaming the other day. At first she didn't get it, then I told her the basics and she started playing it against me. After a couple of minutes, she caught on and was getting into it like I was. Definitely a great "party" versus game, one of those games you pass controllers around and take turns.

"The PS4 version works online as well, and you can even play online across systems (Vita vs PS4!!). If you’re out of wifi range and you just want to play someone on the bus you can do that in Vita to Vita ad-hoc mode. If you just have one Vita and two people, you can still play! The left stick controls one player and the right stick controls the other!"


Day one!

I'd temper excitement if you don't have a local person to play with. The online netcode in the steam version is rather bad. Fantastic game in local though, though I don't know if I can see the "two person on one vita" thing working well.

I can see it working fantastically. Involves a fair amount of cheating and violence, but gotta be good for a laugh.

It's the method I'll resort to once my missus gets better than me over ad-hoc.

It's really fun to play Divekick that way and I see no reason Nidhogg wont be the same.

Because MS have a horrible parity clause that prevents some devs from using them?

Please do not buy this game if your only intent is to play online without hearing impressions first.

The netcode on the PC version is utter fucking trash.

Considering the style of game, forcing you to share a controller could be genius :)

Does the PS4 version support that?
