Stevivor's Steve Wright writes, "Stevivor met up with Fatshark Games’ Gordon Van Dyke last week to talk all things Viking ahead of Paradox’s War of the Vikings’ first alpha test, taking place at the same time as Gamescom in Cologne, Germany.
"Just as they travelled around Europe planning for War of the Roses, Fatshark consulted extensively with a Viking archaeologist to get the tone of the 64-player multiplayer game just right. That means Vikings – more of an ancient profession than a race, by the way (so I’m not sure why we capitalise it, but that’s beside the point) – won’t have horns on their helmets. That also means you’re going to see a lot of female Vikings beat up the opposition too. You have to respect a group of seafaring folk who already had equality in the workplace, considering they were at their best way back in the 9th Century."

Select Steam keys on Games Republic are currently lower than anywhere else, certainly as the store handles region-free pricing that stays fair to Europeans. So, here are the best ones to pick up."
With your sword held aloft you hastily close distance on your foe, arrows and spears narrowly miss their target as you get ever closer to your quarry.

bet this would be cracking to play with 2 full teams of friends :-)
just wish it was a little bit cheaper, added to my wishlist for now
They can be fun, frustrating as well though.
A team of fellow useless players is a laugh.
Sounds a lot like Chivalry. Seems like it could be fun.
As one of the useless players, I appreciate the opportunity to be a laugh!
SteamFirst: Today I have a review on War of the Vikings for you. The violence didn’t save this games score, its a hard game to enjoy.
