Competitive fencing-fighter Nidhogg launches on PS Vita, PS4, and PSTV

If you were at IndieCade in Los Angeles this past weekend, you may have gotten the chance to demo Nidhogg on the PlayStation 4.

Now, you can purchase the minimal fencing game for £10.49 / $14.99 on the PS4, Vita, and PlayStation TV.

PS Plus Members receive a discounted price of £7.99 / $11.99 until October 28th.

Cross-buy and cross-play functionality means owning a copy of Nidhogg for one Sony platform enables you to play on them all.

Nidhogg is an award-winning game known for its competitive nature and simplicity, where two players must battle it out across several connected screens.

Make it to your side of the level, whether by expert sword-fighting techniques or outwitting the enemy, and you win.

Nidhogg contains both single-player and multiplayer modes.

Multiplayer allows for cross-platform duels as well, so a Vita player can compete against a PS4 player, a PS4 player can compete against a PSTV player, and so on.

Two players can even do battle on the same Vita console, one using the left stick and the other using the right.

Grab Nidhogg for the Vita here, and read more about the announcement on the PlayStation blog.
