  1. GMR Magazine

    For a game that's more than a decade old, The Lost Vikings looks and plays great. [June 2003, p.77]

    This is a welcome conversion of Bliozzard's cherished 16bit strategy actioner and well worth a punt for those who like to challenge their grey matter as well as their reflexes. [May 2003, p.103]
  3. The lack of any sort of time trial, multiplayer, or randomized mode is disappointing, however, especially if you're one of the many who played this game to death nearly a decade ago.

    The puzzles are still fun and challenging, but the constant switching of characters can wear on your patience. [June 2003, p.120]
  5. Pocket Games
    70
    One of the best single-player puzzle games, but there's no excuse for the absence of a time trial or multiplayer option. [Summer 2003, p.43]

    A fun puzzler with interesting characters. The graphics are clear and colorful but not updated from the game's original version. [Mar 2003, p.137]
  7. 60
    There's a good deal of trial and error involved with The Lost Vikings, an aspect of the game that may seem tedious to some people. But there is a suitably addictive challenge awaiting gamers the first time through.

    Excellent remake! I could've never imagined that I could someday play this title on a handheld! :-)

    Very good game, if it the same or close to the same as the snes version.

    A good game for the advanced players, for the younger players I do not recommend this title.
