A well-rounded action title with elements of strategy, traditional hack and slash, and arcade action. Large scale battles and mythical creatures, theyre all here!...
Pretty graphics, smooth gameplay, large open world with great view distance, dragons!, intuitive and easy to get into thanks to the visual cues.
No multiplayer, some sound problems, not enough strategy for some.

Viking is an accessible and intuitive hack-and-slash with a light dusting of role-playing. Its obviously aimed at the more casual RPG fan, and some will find it too undemanding, but we rather enjoyed the carnage-ridden ride. Sega - Viking: Battle for...

Now don’t go thinking that Viking: Battle for Asgard is a bad game after that page of ranting because I found it to be a hugely enjoyable if slightly mindless hack and slasher. It’s a pity that more thought wasn’t put into the combat tho...

Combat can be amusing for a few hours, Portals make travelling easy.
After a few hours, the combat gets dull, Objectives and missions are repetitive, No payoff for exploration, Camera is horrendous, Audio is sparse and disappointing.
Thanks to Viking: Battle for Asgards mundane and tedious gameplay, the only battle youll wage will be a losing one against boredom...
