    OK RPG with horribly balanced bosses. You effective play through an area and then fight a boss at the end. Other than completing 3 challenges within an area it really is just a march to the boss. The areas are pretty easy though. You rarely have to worry about dying. Then you get to the final area where the boss is and basically the difficult spikes to the unrealistic. Pretty much everyOK RPG with horribly balanced bosses. You effective play through an area and then fight a boss at the end. Other than completing 3 challenges within an area it really is just a march to the boss. The areas are pretty easy though. You rarely have to worry about dying. Then you get to the final area where the boss is and basically the difficult spikes to the unrealistic. Pretty much every boss has minions that attack either at the same time or before the boss. There is no health potions per se so you can heal a couple of times at most. If the boss fight has a fixed set of minions (how you regen health) then you basically get to the boss and have no health regen left. The boss then tends to either do a massive amount of damage or freeze/stun you and then stomp you. The areas are small so there is almost no place to hide and, without regen, you are just a couple of hits away from death. When you die you have to redo the whole boss battle. The area you just marched through to get to the boss provided no real benefit. This is the personification of bad game balancing. Even if you replay and replay an area over and over again to level it takes far too many times to get to the level you'd need to be to defeat a boss without a large chance of luck. Not really sure what the designers were thinking when they decided the level curve but it had to be - make the boss impossible so players have to repeat an area a dozen or more times doing the same thing over and over again for a very small level increase - this is awesome!!

    Perhaps if the devs bothered to actually fix the boss battles so they were a little more realistic in comparison to the areas you traverse first then I might raise my score but right now this game just reeks of rushed development.    … Expand

    Thís is a junk, not a game!

    1/ The Character's Creation Screen is terrible. They don't let us ZOOM to your characters. 2/ Why they don't let us LEVEL UP like the other ARPG games instead of using THE SATISFY BLOOD POT. 3/ Why there is no any option to change your QUICK SKILL SLOTS instead of Freezing them. 4/ The character at level 100 is the same power as level 1. WTF? 5/ Buying a    Thís is a junk, not a game!

    There is a game breaking bug after the first boss "jokul".
    If you defeat the boss the game wont open the path to the next npc you can see in the right area.
    You just stay at the small boss arena and cant do anything to leave the area instead of restart the whole map.
    Happened to me 3 times and then i deinstalled the game.

    Don't let them fool you. It's one of the worst games i've ever played.
    First playthrough is... boring.
    Everything after this - worthless. U get everything deleted except of your skilltree (even the +% of whatever by leveling up - deleted!)
    So, i u wanna buy a game with 12h Content, many bugs and scripted loot......

    Well, let me start this review with the positives. There is one in total. The bosses are ok, and that's about it. The fight is average. The plot is practically non-existent. The development tree is a joke. The graphics did not disappoint. Therefore, I cannot recommend

    It has very similar style to tribes of midgard and diablo, however nowadays it's quite behind the times with both the graphics, gameplay and price

    The game is completely lacking in balance. You won't encounter any resistance at all on the level. But on the boss, you'll fight with one measly health potion and do endless rolls, like in the worst slasher. And you'll still die. While the game is beautiful in places, the terrible balance spoils the whole experience.

And that's on normal difficulty.

    It’s not a title you need to play to stay up to date with gaming trends. It’s a typical representative of the hack’n’slash genre, solid in every aspect but not unique in any. If you enjoy such games, walking the wolves in Midgard will be fun, because the essence of the genre was conveyed proficiently. [06/2017, p.73]

    Brutal action-RPG, combat system and setting are cool, but there's no complex character development, end game nor an exciting story.

    Straight-up Nordic fighting game, which offers core hack’n‘slash and a pleasant atmosphere of the Nordic mythology.
