From the review, "Shorebound games is a relatively new indie games studio, having previously released Spectraball and Dead Sky on Steam. Now they have bestowed upon us Viktor, an action platformer in the vein of Mega Man. And CastleVania. And Devil May Cry. Perhaps even a bit of Super Meat Boy? In short, Viktor draws from a lot of different games and forms a single coherent game that is one of the best side-scroller action games I have played in years."
Serena Nelson writes: "The common people will stand up and depose the tyrant emperor of Austro-Hungary and replace him with a benevolent boar. Or at least that's what Viktor, our titular hero, thinks after he quickly finds himself without a job. And thus begins the demo provided for the game to whet our proverbial whistles while they strive to get funded on IndieGogo. Being the sort that just can't say no to a demo, particularly for a point and click adventure game, I decided to download it and give it a spin. "
Serena Nelson writes: "Viva la revolucion! Most adventure games take you on a quest of some importance. Whether it's to save the kingdom or just to find a nice place to nap most tend to be on the epic side of epicness. And Viktor looks to take this idea and has our "hero" strive to take down the emperor of his country. For whatever reason it is, it's left unclear in the pitch. After an unsuccessful Kickstarter late last year they're back on Indiegogo to give it a second shot. Hopefully they'll do better this time around."
Viktor is a pig, a little grumpy and rude but not a bad sort overall. He’s bounced from one job to another through his life and just recently gotten fired from being a street sweeper. Deciding that a little upward mobility would be nice, he sets his sights on becoming emperor of the world, because that doesn’t seem too unreasonable.
