Griefhelm is a game you can quickly and accurately describe as a Nidhogg game with a bit more emphasis on gritty combat. Sure it has a couple of modes but the core gameplay is the same, pick from your three stances (top/middle/bottom), and outwit your opponent.

Griefhelm isn't a bad game, but the parts that make it good only work in isolation, not with each other. That drags the whole experience down, however excited you might be for the battles.

Despite Griefhelm’s issues, if you’re a Nidhogg fan who’s dying for something new to sink your sword into, it’ll probably scratch that itch.

Much like the medieval weapons in use, Griefhelm’s lack of polish is easily recognizable. If this were an early access lower-priced title, the wild ragdoll effects and clumsiest moments would be quickly excused by consumers. Griefhelm’s developer does seem to be improving aspects of the AI and gameplay with recent and consistent updates, but the unsophisticated final product on offer amounts to a risky recommendation at best.

Ultimately, I like the idea of Griefhelm and with some work it could be fantastic. However, it also feels like a game that would have been better served launching in Early Access to iron out its kinks. If you’ve got a group of friends willing to jump in with you then there’s fun to be had provided you don’t take it too seriously.
