About Viking Butcher

✦ AI summary

Collect meat during the day and defend your stash from increasingly dangerous animals each night, upgrading your weapons and helmets with your earnings to survive until the brutal tenth-night boss battle. Battle across multiple maps with distinct environments and unique weapons, featuring retro pixel-art inspired by classic arcade games with three difficulty modes for every skill level.

Viking Butchers core gameplay is about collecting as much meat as possible and surviving the night. Every night all kinds of animals will try to steal all the meat you have stored, so in order to stop them you need to fight back. Every night the animals will get stronger, which is why you will need to spend some of your meat to buy new more powerful weapons. On the tenth night you will need all the skills you've learned in order to defeat a difficult boss.

Weapons and helmets


In order to better battle the animals you will be able to buy new and improved weapons as well as helmets. The helmets in Viking butcher act as ultimate abilities that you can utilise to give you the advantage over the animals. Both the weapons and the helmets have many variations that you can use in order to better combat the increasingly difficult animals.

Difficulty


Viking offers three difficulty settings that fit every type of player. There is easy mode, normal mode and hard mode:
  • Easy mode is meant for new players who aren't very experienced with the game.
  • Normal mode is meant to challenge the average player with fun times without being too difficult.
  • Hard mode is only meant the truly hardcore players who love very high difficulty.

Multiple maps


Viking butcher features multiple maps where you will battle unique and challenging animals.
The different maps in Viking Butcher will feature drastically different environments where each area has their own special weapons. Every map also has its own powerful boss that the player will have to defeat and overcome in order to progress.

Artstyle


Viking Butcher features a retro pixelart artstyle reminiscent classic arcade games. Viking Butchers artstyle was inspired by the retro artstyle used in classic arcade games and seeks to improve it with our own style.

✦ AI summary

Viking Butcher is a straightforward pixel-art slasher with satisfying combat and bloody action that players appreciate as a free offering, though it suffers from repetitive gameplay and the lack of an auto-fire option that causes clicking fatigue. The game offers weapon variety and character progression to extend playtime, but several players report broken achievements and note the experience grows monotonous without a compelling story or deeper mechanics. Most seem to view it as a decent way to kill time at no cost, though not something with lasting appeal.

Pretty decent for a freebie - desperately needs an auto-fire option unless you're a clicker addict and already immune to carpal tunnel.

Игра 'Viking Butcher' – это кровавый и захватывающий слэшер, который ставит вас в роль безумного викинга, разносящего врагов на мелкие кусочки. Графика нарочито грубая, в пиксельном стиле, что добавляет игре особый шарм и ощущение ретро-олдскула. Геймплей простой и брутальный: бей, руби, круши! Динамичные бои и море крови – вот что ждет игрока в каждой схватке. Особенностью игры является разнообразие оружия и способностей, позволяющих уничтожать врагов самыми изощренными способами. Прокачка персонажа и новые навыки добавляют глубины игровому процессу. Атмосфера мрачного средневековья передана отлично, а саундтрек поддерживает напряжение и добавляет драйва. Однако, стоит отметить, что игра может быстро наскучить из-за своей однообразности. Отсутствие глубокого сюжета и сложных механик компенсируется ураганным геймплеем и возможностью выпустить пар. Если вы ищете игру, чтобы бездумно покрошить врагов в пиксельном стиле и не особо задумываться о сюжете – 'Viking Butcher' определенно для вас. Любителям крови и мяса обязательно стоит попробовать!

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
