    I found this to be an overall average game. Very repetitive with an overall uninteresting story. Combat is good enough but skill trees are fairly static. If you enjoy the grind might be worth trying.

    A somewhat underrated action RPG that can be best described by comparing it to Grim Dawn, which is a pretty similar game. You play the part of a male or female viking warrior whose home village gets devastated by an army of giants at the start of the game. You then end up becoming chieftain and embark on a long quest for revenge.

    Graphics, combat and character customization are better    A somewhat underrated action RPG that can be best described by comparing it to Grim Dawn, which is a pretty similar game. You play the part of a male or female viking warrior whose home village gets devastated by an army of giants at the start of the game. You then end up becoming chieftain and embark on a long quest for revenge.

    Graphics, combat and character customization are better than Grim Dawn. The combat has a more dynamic feel to it and the attack animations are more fluid. However, Grim Dawn is a better game overall in terms of overall character development, loot, story and scope. Vikings is let down somewhat by its extremely linear gameplay, limited skill trees for your character, shortish length (which results in the player being underlevelled later in the game and having to grind through previously explored areas), dull loot drops and equally dull characters. There is also strangely no ability to rotate the camera or zoom in on your character. The diffculty curve at the start of the game is also a bit tough but things improve after the first 2 or 3 missions.

    Despite its flaws, it's a fun game that doesn't force you to think too hard and is worth picking up if you enjoy this type of game, especially as it seems to be heavily discounted on a lot of platforms nowadays as well.    … Expand

    Vikings: Wolves of Midgard
    Surprisingly enjoyable
    Wolves of Midgard is a diablo style hack and slash game that you can play solo or online if you can find someone where you play as a male or female Viking to save the world from the frost and fire giants The character you choose does change the story and dialog slightly, but both campaigns are the same But it will hardly matter as really    Vikings: Wolves of Midgard

    Wolves of Midgard is a diablo style hack and slash game that you can play solo or online if you can find someone where you play as a male or female Viking to save the world from the frost and fire giants
    The character you choose does change the story and dialog slightly, but both campaigns are the same But it will hardly matter as really the story just became static before too long, I had no interest in what was going on..
    But I still managed to enjoy my time with this game…
    But that’s not the only reason this game is surprisingly enjoyable…
    Its mostly a surprise because of how repetitive it really is…
    Every mission from start to finish is the same
    and the dungeons here all start looking the same after a while as well…
    plus the loot isn’t really that cool..
    But I still enjoyed my time slicing through enemies and swapping out gear… collecting their blood to level up….
    When you do level up you get skill points to spend on a tree based off of a norse god..
    These gods are attached to weapons though which is just a little annoying…
    And theres a level cap of 30 here… so it isn’t as simple as just grinding for your new favorite weapon
    it forces you to have to choose your weapon type early on before you get a chance to play with them all or even see what youre going to get in the future… if you want to be as powerful as possible
    because unlocked skills in each tree as gifts from the gods…
    Theyre special moves and attacks you can do during battles that can only be done with certain weapons equipped…
    The combat here feels fairly satisfying…
    Theres decent challenge here and youre able to roll to dodge attacks… but there isn’t much more to it than hit and dodge and throw down some special attacks….
    And at the end of each level theres a boss…
    the bosses are pretty cool, only 1 or 2 gave me any trouble though…
    And they feel varied enough to still be an enjoyable endcap to each level..
    After youre done with this 10 hour campaign you can start again in new game plus, capped out at level 30.. but your gifts do carry over or play as the other character….
    there isn’t much incentive to do either though… especially due to the low level cap…
    I enjoyed myself..
    but theres nothing here that youll want to experience more than once…
    Wolves of Midgard is an enjoyable experience..
    You wont regret playing it.. but its nothing special…
    I give Vikings: Wolves of Midgard
    a 7/10    … Expand

    Дошли в кооперативе до 5 главы, однообразность зашкаливает, вещи выпадают на обоих одинаковые хотя играем разными классами, вообщем проходняк лютый 5/10

    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.
