Viking: Battle for Asgard is not a terrible game. There may be a good game in there somewhere, but it falls into a standard hack-and-slash rut of boring and uninspired gameplay that leaves you wanting more from the experience. Norse mythology is such a rich setting that if the game had been done well, it could have been incredible and boasted a terrific story, characters and gameplay.
Unfortunately, Viking never quite achieves this, leaving you with a pretty mediocre action title that's hard to recommend to anyone, except those who really enjoy shallow action games.
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!
