About Loyalty and Blood: Viktor Origins
Years after leaving his family to wander Overworld, Viktor returns home to find his mother has long since passed away and his brother, Zane, has risen from the rank of recruit to commander of the Legion. Although his ascent through the ranks was quick, Zane finds himself struggling with the many pressures that come with his position. Having left his brother to struggle alone once before, Viktor is determined to join the Legion to support his brother in any way he can. Shortly after he joins, however, a chain of events begins to unfold that will change the face of Overworld forever. Things are not always as they seem, and in bloody times like these, loyalty is more precious than gold.

There's nothing to dislike in this game. It's just perfect little time-killer. And since the genre of run-and-gun loot games is just non-existent at this moment, this one is truly worth trying.1 found this helpful
I give this game a solid recommendation at the humble asking price. It's a good action game. Would rather play this 10/10 over whatever schlock Ubisoft has dumped out lately.1 found this helpful
If you want to play with a mouse and keyboard, be warned, only some of the controls can be remapped. For example you can change which key reloads, but not which key dashes : it will always be the right mouse button. Ridiculous for a game released in 2018. The soundtrack sounds pretty good though.
This is a big improvement over Viktor in pretty much every respect, and I can recommend it even if you didn't enjoy the original. Combat is smooth and impactful with various weapons to choose from, and the progression and unlock mechanics encourage thoroughly completing each mission. Missions are very compact, but fairly well-designed, with a good blend of combat and platforming. Each can be completed in just a few minutes, though you'll probably have to run them multiple times if you want to find everything or complete the optional challenges for additional (sometimes unique) rewards. Gamepad control for the most part is great, allowing you to easily move, jump, and aim all at once, but the phase mechanic is sometimes a bit awkward to aim correctly. Being more of a long-form game than Viktor, the story has received noticeably more attention this time. It actually works pretty well, providing a more interesting scenario and world-building than the bare threads in the original. It does suffer a bit from being a prequel, since the post hoc groundwork laid here could have led in a more interesting direction than what actually happens in Viktor. There are also some loose thre…
It handles fine. Weapons are mostly pretty neat. There's only like 5 areas and you play them over and over and over and over and over and over. Kill 10 of this guy. This time it's fetch 3 of this thing. Now it's kill 5 of this guy. Then break 6 of this thing. I also generally dislike the layout of said levels. They sprawl and sometimes the only reason you know you're going the wrong way is because they just didn't spawn any enemies this time. Or did you kill them already? Why isn't there a map? It doesn't have to be anything fancy. Just show me so I have something to compare against. There's a story or something. People ramble talk forever and I just wanna skip it all. I think this is technically a prequel? Anyway, grab it for a dollar. Or don't.
