Viking: Battle for Asgard is a great game for people who need something to do until God of War III comes out, and it's perfect for action junkies who love visceral and brutal fighting but hate to think about things. While those with more refined tastes may do well to stay away, those who just like to crack open skulls will be sure to get some enjoyment out of this one.
Its repetition is all too readily felt, and a lot of elements reek of missed opportunity, but what Viking does manage to deliver is delivered with style, competence and more than enough blood to keep your thirst for gore satiated. A definite rental for any swordplay fan.
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!
