Return to the Golden Age of arcades with hardcore action experiences that pull no punches. Volgarr the Viking possesses all the hallmarks of the true classics - simple controls, high challenge, and meticulous design - combined with hand-made pixel animation, epic soundtracks, and buckets of blood. Become Volgarr the Viking on his epic journey as the barbarian king! Both games are hardcore, 2D action-platformers where precision is everything and one false move can spell a brutal death. Volgarr the Viking II builds upon the intensity of the original with the addition of new power-ups, new forms of magic, new enemy types, and a chest-thumping new soundtrack.

    Despite the almost imperceptible attempts to make Volgarr the Viking II a bit easier to live with, it hasn’t really worked - the game is as hard as nails. It is hard for hard’s sake, as far as I can see, and that means the enjoyment levels drop a little.

    Volgarr the Viking II is a cruel and often unfair game that will push your buttons. This extremely tough title will attract a niche audience. Accordingly, many gamers will be put off. Unfortunately, this sequel isn't as good as its predecessor and that disappointed me.

    There are formulas that evolve too little, whether in form or content. This return should have been a triumph, the joy of seeing a first try converted into a must-have, but it is not. The title remains a retro journey that fails to make the leap to nowadays' standards. Those who adored Volgarr will be happy to have him back, but he has lost some of his prestige through his feasting and drinking. The old warrior has earned his rest. May he rest in peace in Valhalla, where we will sing his praises and his exploits, forgetting that he has traded his soul for an ersatz immortality.
