Viking Heroes 4

This is one of the Viking Brothers games on Steam, which started with Viking Brothers 1 in 2014. If you have played Viking Dentists 12 or Viking NCIS Agents 5 or Viking Kissing Cousins 134, you already know what you are getting. It's pretty much the bland breakfast that you don't think about because you always have it. There's nothing exceptionally right or wrong with it, it is simply there when you desire to play a time-management game. No one is going to play this who hasn't already played the 583 previous Viking Siblings games. However, while I consider this a filler episode, I am satisfied that I got exactly what I paid for. One word of caution: never play more than a few levels at a time even if that means it takes you two weeks to finish the game; otherwise there is a tedious sameness in the VH4 level design that is thankfully missing in most of the rest of the series. Doing 3 or 4 at a time still gives a nice sense of completeness and forward momentum.

[i]Viking Heroes 4[/i] is a time management game developed by Yustas Game Studio and published by Alawar Entertainment. As the name states, it's the fourth game in the [i]Viking Heroes[/i] series. You role play as the Viking siblings: Everand and Boromere, the brothers, and Helga and Brunnhilde, the sisters. The siblings are enjoying a feast with the gods when, suddenly, there's some shaking, followed by darkness. The group investigates this disturbance and discovers that Fenrir, a giant wolf, and his two sons are responsible. They plan to plunge the world into eternal darkness so that the wolves can inhabit the human world, and they plan to do so by destroying the sun and moon. Of course, it's up to our heroes to save the day. As for the gameplay, it's the same as in previous installments. There are a total of 50 main story levels and 10 bonus levels that are unlocked after you finish the main story levels. In addition, there are 5 mahjong solitaire type mini-levels that are unlocked as you progress. Also, there are the three usual difficulty levels: relaxed, normal, and expert. (For purposes of this review, I chose to play on normal mode.) The main and bonus story lev…

Some new mechanics (day/night switching) but otherwise just more of the same. All achievements as usual can be obtained on easy mode without time limits. One of them requires replaying a level to build 3 more viking houses (for example lvl 9). There are only 22 viking houses in all levels combined and the achievement asks for 25.

time management game, just as good as all the others

This is a casual time management game where you need to complete 50 levels to unlock all the achievements. It takes about 14 hours to complete the game and unlock all the achievements. Most achievements are unlock by just playing the game. The art style and gameplay is really nice and it is a nice way to waste some time while you are waiting on something else.

Like Viking Heroes 1-3, we've got a loose call to action. We've got similar mechanics to the previous games. Some of the same assets but a new day and night thing. It's got all of the same fun and mind-numbing power that this series has always had. So glad that there's a 4, and can't wait for 5-infinity.
