Critic Reviews
God is a Geek
By Mick FraserNiffelheim is a decent 2D survival game that plays it all just a little too seriously to be called enjoyable. It looks pretty good, but the simple combat and finicky systems hold it back.
Pure Nintendo
By Heath Shusterman-ZimmermanNiffelheim had plenty of good things going for it, without room for mistakes it kind of killed the flow of the game. With plenty of other good crafting action-adventure RPG games on the Switch, Niffelheim just failed to hold my attention.

By Evan BeeNiffelheim is a game determined to make each new step feel less like a monumental achievement and more like another box checked off on the way towards Valhalla.
FNintendo
By Ulisses DominguesNiffelheim's experience is one of 2D action and survival with RPG elements, though it doesn't quite succeed in all of them. There's a remarkable lack of customization choices, the combat is too simplistic and the difficulty level peaks suddenly but that doesn't mean Niffelheim doesn't do a good job on its survival angle, as well as on its art style and use of mythology in its lore and plot.
Windows Central
By Brendan LowryDespite its issues, Niffelheim stands as a very competent hardcore survival game that players will be engaged with for hours on end.
