Viking Squad
Do you enjoy classic “beat em' up” games such as Final Fight, Streets of Rage, Golden Axe and so on??? Are you a fan of cartoony styled art like those found in games such as Castle Crashers and Gang Beasts??? Well you’re in luck, because the devs at Slick Entertainment got you covered with their latest entry into the world of indie gaming with Viking Squad. A co-op brawler that is as much fun to play solo as it is to tackle with a band of your buddies. The plot is pretty simplistic within it’s self: Choose a viking (from four playable options) and see how much treasure you can plunder from the enemy’s clutches. Stylistically, the game is extremely colorful and vibrant. Lead Artist Jesse “The Drawbarian” Turner gives you amazing aesthetics similar to the “cutesy-chibi” art style of The Behemoth’s Dan Paladin, but with more of a comic book feel. As an artist myself, I have to rave about the art direction in this game: Jesse’s work is just too awesome for mere words to convey. This title is worth the price of admission on visuals alone…

This game is good. DAMN GOOD.
Just a refreshing take on the beat em up genre with new ideas, but solid arcade gameplay.
Every character has a different play style in this game and the combat depth is decently deep. You’ll need more than mashing buttons if you’re going to make it to the late game.
The gameplay goes as follows.
-
Go through a level bashing as many enemies as possible
-
Survive and bring back treasure/loot to upgrade your character stats, and buy gear
-
Use money to buy potions and keys for treasure chests (any unspent loot is disgarded)

Tribes of Midgard
This is a challenging game, made fun with a group of friends.
Though even then it is a bit of a slog, as it implies 10 people need to online at the same time for hours on end to achieve a common goal. You find that perfect zone and boom, suddenly the entire time you are jamming with friends and working through the various quests.
I will say that the game is not without its faults. Like I said earlier its a bit of a slog especially if you are playing with complete randos. I must’ve lost count to going to sleep with a Day 50 or Day 80 game only to wake up the next day and the world is destroyed.

They should have lets us build our own base! Such a waste of waiting for all those years! Gameplay is fun at first but after a few games it get bored….. Just doing the same thing over and over again, and I don’t even bother with the building.

Vikings - Wolves of Midgard
I’ve been playing this game on and off for quite a while now so I thought why not write a review:
Visuals:
-
beautiful handcrafted maps with multiple points of interest
-
multiple environments from northern forests, to sandy beaches, lava castles and medieval villages
-
enemies often have different skins depending on their environment
-
great lighting and shaders
-
particle effects aren’t as over the top as in most other H&S games (I’m looking at you Diablo III)
- The camera is a little too close to the character

5/10
| “more Action than RPG”, which suffers from redundant, shallow and uncharacteristic gameplay that ultimately boils down to being an endurance test, full of weird difficulty spikes, and tedious pacing |
