Edge writes: "Viking: Battle For Asgard has a problem, and a befuddling one at that. It doesn't make any sense that it's not brilliant.
Of course, there are reasons why this review carries the score it does, but Viking's shortfalls just seem so peculiar when compared to the surging competency of its strengths. The stall it sets out is confident and vivacious: a thirdperson adventure with a laudable overarching vision, with you, as Viking Skarin, trotting around the land, battling the Hel scourge and liberating captured troops before recruiting them into your army. The payoff for accruing such human resources and other supplies is that each of the levels – there are just three, but each is sizeable – climaxes with an all-out brawl of heroic proportions, as the Hel HQ is assaulted and toppled."
Twinfinite Writes: God of War takes Kratos from the pantheon of Greek mythology to the cold lands of Norse mythology. Here are a few other games with a focus on Norse myth, if you find your interest piqued.
It's high time we get another Valkyrie Profile. I'm so ready. I can't believe we've had to wait this long and we just got a mobile game...
Can we please just get another Age of Mythology? Lost many hours of my childhood to that game!
