Gameplay

I wasn’t exactly sure what to expect from this game, but it certainly wasn’t this. There isn’t a whole lot to it: you collect characters and fight against the enemies. But the fighting isn’t exactly eventful either – all you need to do is charge toward the enemies at the right time! I was expecting more input from me on the attack and defense but apparently not…

Graphics

The graphics are weird. They look super real and fake at the same time – kind of like Uncanny Valley. I felt really unsettled looking at the characters and didn’t like how their eyes moved. This is obviously personal to my preferences, some might find the graphics for Vikingard really cool!

Music & Sounds

The music and audio are very intense and exactly what you’d expect from a game based on Vikings. I actually didn’t mind the music and found the sounds while talking to other characters and farming oddly relaxing.

Controls

In the battles (if you can even call them that), your team will automatically start running. When you see the enemies, press the ‘Charge’ button as you get close to them and watch as you knock them all over!

The controls are easy to use, maybe a little too easy. I didn’t feel like I was playing anything really.

The Verdict

This really wasn’t for me. From the creepy graphics to the simplistic gameplay, I didn’t find any challenges at all while playing. I don’t like my games to be too hard, but this was ridiculous!
