Hello and greetings from Eastern Europe, my name is ColdBeerHD and this is a list about
Norse themed games, many of are proud to have Vikings or their mythology.
Enjoy!
Jotun
This is a hand-drawn action-exploration game set in Norse mythology.
Here you play as Thora, a Viking warrior who died an inglorious death and must prove herself
to the Gods to enter Valhalla.
Aside from the boss battles, the game revolves around exploration and puzzle solving, with
a few enemies to fight.
It isn’t very surprising that puzzles often are solved by using axe swings to interact
with objects.
Because vikings, like Hulk, they smash!
Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice
Set in the Viking age, a broken Celtic warrior embarks on a haunting vision quest into Viking
Hell to fight for the soul of her dead lover.
Created in collaboration with neuroscientists and people who experience psychosis, Hellblade:
Senua’s Sacrifice will pull you deep into Senua’s mind.
The main protagonist can see things, nobody else can, just like your aunt Olga when she
drinks way too much vodka.
Expeditions: Viking
Game description says: A small band of Norse warriors lands on the shores of England.
History may have forgotten their names, but their actions live on.
Well...
I should say that the actions vikings made in real life England involved a lot of pillaging
and even more raping, but who am I to judge.
As the chieftain of your clan, you let ambition guide your choices in this party-based RPG.
Game has very positive reviews on Steam, but there are also many comments saying that the
game is boring and slow, just like your cousin Artem, so be careful, read everything before
buying.
Skyrim
Probably the best and definitely the most famous game based on Norse theme.
Longhouses, jarls, snow, traditions, many words, names and architecture here are just
ripped out of an ancient Scandinavia.
I bet you have played Skyrim already and can remember the best parties Jarl Balgruuf has
thrown.
No?
You can’t?
You know, we have a saying in Eastern Europe – the best parties are those that you can’t
even remember next morning.
Oh Jarl Balgruuf, I miss you.
The Banner Saga series
There are four games in the series.
Well, basically three, because multiplayer version, The Banner Saga: Factions is pretty
much dead, nobody plays it anymore.
This is a Role-playing Viking game where your strategic choices directly affect your personal
journey.
Battles in the game are staged similarly to Heroes of Might and Magic games.
Everything else feels more like a comic or a book, so apart of tactical turn-based combats
you’ll have to read a lot.
Game is not for everyone, but if you can read your favourite vodkas label, you can probably
read this game either.
And now it’s the time for you to press that like button.
Usually when I drink Scandinavian vodka I think about boobs, but if you press like now,
next time I will think about you my friend.
Thanks.
You the best.
Northgard
This is a strategy game based on Norse mythology in which you control a clan of Vikings vying
for the control of a mysterious newfound continent.
Northgard has a nice campaign, great solo game and plenty of replay value.
The story mode spans 11 missions, but on normal difficulty it is too easy.
Just like your daughter.
So, make your game harder, play like a real viking!
Volgarr The Viking
Game looks old, but it actually isn’t.
It’s like your uncle Bronislav, who smokes a lot of contraband cigarettes from Belarus.
Actually this game is kinda new, but has all the best oldschoolish traits you can imagine.
This arcade platformer has seven worlds to explore, more than 30 maps, 40 unique traps
and enemies, thousands of frames and handcrafted animations and full controller support.
Also very positive reviews on Steam, so if you want some Norse platformer action - this
can be your choice!
Vikings - Wolves of Midgard
You know a game named Diablo 3?
Yeah, of course you know.
So, unexpectedly this is not Diablo 3 I'm showing you now, this is Vikings - Wolves
of Midgard.
Even if it looks exactly like Diablo, it is still a very nice game for you to try if you
like some hacking and slashing action.
Just be aware of the lame saving system, which is based on checkpoints - if you die before
one, all progression is lost and also here you can't respec your stats.
So if you made a mistake, that’s it.
Everything else is pretty much cool, I think it is a decent game.
Rune
This is an old game but still really cool if you like oldschool gaming.
A lot of people are mentioning that the main characters butt is made really carefully,
all the designers attention was concentrated on the buttocks.
Because this is the time when all butts in gaming were square-shaped, and this butt is
round like an orange.
That is very nice thing, I also tend to concentrate on the butts, of course of female characters,
but still I can appreciate the work that has been done here.
It is masterpiece.
Majestic, extravagantic wowza
Apsulov: End of Gods
In this future viking horror you awake in a sanctuary of steel and concrete, built to
research and exploit the worlds of Yggdrasil, and to house an artifact, buried in the earth
aeons ago.
Your task is to unveil the secrets of the mythology, the artifacts, and the realms of
Yggdrasil.
Game is pretty scary, but the funny thing is the name.
Apsulov to me sounds like a slavic surname.
Dmitry Alexeevich Apsulov, engineer of Chernobyl Power Plant.
Game has very positive reviews on Steam, so I can only to suggest for you to dive in this
sci-fi viking horror and have a great time.
And now it’s the time for some honorable mentions:
The Lost Vikings - made by Blizzard in 1992
Loki: Heroes of Mythology - great RPG game made in 2007
For Honor - Vikings are one of 4 playable factions here
Age of Mythology - Legendary strategy game where you can chose to play for the Norse
faction
Ancestors - a solid RTS game released in 2018, where you can play for a Viking faction
