INDIES
PS PLUS FREE GAMES FOR SEPTEMBER 2017
With the anticipated release of Nidhogg 2 on Aug. 15, it seems like a no-brainer to release the original Nidhogg on PS Plus for this month to encourage players to try out the critically-acclaimed first title before purchasing the second. Nidhogg released back in October 2014 and featured extremely basic pixel sprites for fun two-player, side-scrolling, multiplayer fighting. The goal is to reach the opponent’s side of the screen by killing them repeatedly and moving forward while they respawn.
Although Nidhogg 2 has a different artsyle than the original, the gameplay is similar. You slash and stab anyone that stands in your way, using your skilled swordsmanship to push forward to the other side of the environments. Plus, Nidhogg is also available on the PS Vita, and we all know how much Sony loves including cross-play titles in their PS Plus lineups.
Another likely candidate is the adorable combat arena game Deformers, where you control chubby, spherical little characters who bounce and smash against each other in couch co-op and online multiplayer. It was released in April of this year and is a great, whacky game to have in your arsenal whenever a few friends come over.
