Viking Vengeance

[h1] I do not recommend Viking Vengeance at full price or even during sales.[/h1] You'll be very lucky if you ever reach the locations shown in the Store Page material due to a poor ARPG movement system that causes you to get stuck on most objects, clip out of the map and get stuck on enemies. The game doesn't pause when an upgrade screen appears and therefor if you're in combat you'll continue to be damaged while you're upgrading. It's 2022 as of writing and this hasn't been fixed since launch. The artstyle and abilities are cool game but the game is nowhere close to being polished. Alongside getting stuck on nearly every object in the game as I progress through the first zone I have also fallen off the map into water (the game clearly tells you to avoid water as it'll kill you) due to the poor controls on Keyboard and Mouse. I have had only one instance where the revive system works correctly (placing you back on solid land) with every other case of death reviving me still in the water, thus causing a complete reset to the last save point, as there is no way to escape. Lastly for this review, I got up to the second village and this is where I stopped as I cannot progress any fu…

When it comes to Viking Vengeance, I find several issues with the game that prevent me from properly enjoying it. 1. Save point do not seem to work properly for whatever reason, and when I die, I am forced back all the way to the start of the first game. 2. The Voice Acting for Woton is sparse and he often chimes in randomly after killing an enemy, and he doesn't sound too Norse. 3. The story kicks off and while the concept is great, the execution could be better. As we sail away from the beginning, we see the main foe resurrect those we killed, but we don't really see this. A camera shot of our foe doing this would be wonderful, aswell as instill some fear, rather than something you can barely see as you sail away. The spiked barricades where the refugees are hidden, should -not- deal damage to the player. I ran into one by mistake and it took my health terribly so, and just when I thought I had gotten away, the bleeding damage killed me. (It was about this point I wanted to give up and get a refund.) I'm confident that as time progresses, this game will happily advance into something better. It just needs time to do so, therefor I cannot recommend this game right now, not t…

i'd say a "not bad, not good, average" but since there is not that here... i'll give a up for the try, and to encourage the devs it's a promising game, with some nice mechanics, a real visual identity and a nice lore, nicely used. keep up guys <3

Not sure how it is in full release.

I really wanted to like this game... Being able to "channel" Odin, Thor, and Loki is such an interesting idea for an action RPG. But that's the only positive thing I have to say about this game unfortunately. It's too buggy, you constantly get stuck in the environment, wrong text boxes for different characters pop up, the voice acting is embarrassing, but the worst of all... The controls. All you do in the game is click. Click to move, click to attack, rinse, repeat. It gets redundant within 30 seconds of playtime. Think Diablo 2, but even worse... and this came out in 2021, not 2000. To the devs--add WASD movement controls & controller support, and fix the bugs, especially the environment glitches, and I would happily give this game another shot and update my review.

If you like Runescape you MIGHT be able to bear this game. Otherwise it's barely playable.
