    Vikings Wolves of Midgard is an atmospheric, story-driven ARPG. Don't expect massive amounts of loot or infinite replayability, though. However, the game offers 20+ hours of fun combat in a fantastic norse mythology setting and amazing set-pieces. Graphics are very nice and support up to 4K resolutions on PC.

Don't expect massive amounts of loot or infinite replayability, though. However, the game offers 20+ hours of fun combat in a fantastic norse mythology setting and amazing set-pieces. Graphics are very nice and support up to 4K resolutions on PC. Combat is very challenging and additional depth is being offered through weapon and armour crafting as well as rune additions and a customizable skill tree to suit your playstyle (dual-wield, swords, axes or ranged weapons). Use of magic and skills is absolutely required and make the game and its many different foes, sub-bosses and end-bosses very interesting. This is no stupid hack & slash like in other ARPG games but careful timing and skill execution is indeed needed for even minor enemies. If you like a somewhat more complex and challenging ARPG, Vikings Wolves of Midgard is a good choice. 8/10 cross-posting from my blog.… Expand

    A good representative ARPG. I don't love Diablo, I love the Vikings, and yet not regret the purchase. Fps with no problems at all, good optimization, and at the moment with technical problems encountered, although the Incentive is there anyone complains about the optimization. But what me personally is a bit annoying is the fact that male characters voiced by the same actor (as IA good representative ARPG.

But what me personally is a bit annoying is the fact that male characters voiced by the same actor (as I understand).
    The gameplay is brisk, which is typical ARPG. Kill enemies, collect loot, sway - no surprises. Although the developers have added mechanics of "impacts" - when, for example, bitter cold and you mernisi, so you need to warm up. Variety. You can still roll that sometimes helps (especially the first boss).
    Classes as such, but there are gods that you worship, it is possible to choose Loki hack and all axes, then choose another weapon and you worship Odin, and you have other abilities.
    Me interested in the game setting. And the enemies look cool, especially the bosses. One of the major advantages is the soundtrack. The most memorable song played in the menu, but in battle you are accompanied by a bouncy tune that will not get the hump (well, pre-order give the soundtrack).
    As for me, Vikings - Wolves of Midgard came out not worse than Diablo 3 .    … Expand

    A very nice ARPG. The setting is great and well transferred. Battles are fluid and controls work nicely even with Mouse and Keyboard. Coop is great but could also have been on a split screen. Great game though.

    This is a fun hack-n-slash with rpg elements to it. Got a lot of flack at release for bugs but majority of them were ironed out within the first couple weeks if release. The game isn't the longest but it is fun to build up your village and has a unique way of leveling up. Great with a controller and can be difficult but not impossible (I only played at regular difficulty). Give this gameThis is a fun hack-n-slash with rpg elements to it.

Great with a controller and can be difficult but not impossible (I only played at regular difficulty). Give this game chance and play it yourself, best to grab it during a sale as I don't really think the quantity of content is worth the release price. Other than that a great time playing the game and posted this to pull up the score on a game that was well worked on and continues to get support from the devs. People complained about it not having native support for 4k at launch and give it negatives or zeros, what is wrong with people these days? I'd honestly give it a 8.5/10, higher if they add more content.… Expand

    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.
