Viking: Sigurd's Adventure

[b][i]Review copy provided by developer via Curator Connect[/i][/b] With the overwhelming glut of indie platformers on Steam, it can be hard for titles to stand out. Some try to invent new mechanics, often with mixed results. Others put forth elaborate art styles unlike anything you’ve ever seen. And others go hard on the fundamentals and rely on pure quality to carry them. Viking: Sigurd’s Adventure does none of these things. It looks like a mobile port of a dead simple platformer because it is, a title that exists to let you collect things to unlock things that make collecting things easier. There are about a hundred platformers I would recommend before this one, but in the space it occupies, it’s one of the better time-wasters you can pick up. Mighty Sigurd returns to his village to find it ransacked by a tubby dragon. The beast has flown the coop and left a horde of slavering monsters in its wake. The Jarl of the settlement took a beating in the process, and implores Sigurd to go after the dragon and mete out some justice. Turns out the road to said dragon winds through 45 stages of platforming, across rocky cliffs and snow-swept peaks and scorched firelands, all full of wolv…

Viking Sigurd's Adventure is an Action Platform Indie title created by Areal Czech The game consists of many different levels and stages which are all set out in a rather open world, sort of resembling an old Mario title of such. The gameplay itself is rather fun and addictive. Each stage featuring collectables in order to find and collect if one wishes to do so, there are also hidden in-game Achievements to unlock too, all of which helps keep the game from turning boring and stale. Thanks to this there is a lot of replay-ability to be had too. Only one major drawback in which we had was the fact that your limited on how many times you can upgrade your skills and abilities, to help remedy this you need to purchase in-game currency in order to progress, via an actual Online Store. This we see in a lot of games now and thankfully they are optional and this game is no different. Though, the option is there it is not exactly required and for the first section of the game at least is not needed. With that being said the game does manage to feature a small but varied skill tree, which allows you to improve your strength and probability of finding better items from foes you vanquish du…

Reasonably challenging, especially when it comes to making the right jumps at the right times. Varied abilities add depth, ie: axe throwing and double jumps. I really liked the themes - I've always enjoyed Vikings and Norse mythology. The visuals do a great job of capturing the harsh, but beautiful landscape of Norway/Sweden and the surrounding area. Tall trees and mountains are featured in the foreground and backgrounds, and though cartoonish in nature, they are pretty authentic to the kind of scenes you would really see there. I appreciated that the whole look and feel had some real thought put into it, and it respected the source material if you will. It was also great to have upgradeable weapons and abilities - it gave it a slight RPG feel where you could build your character based on your gameplay preferences, etc. There are various ways you can get extra…
