Viking: Battle for Asgard For The Xbox 360 Game Review
March 22, 2008 | Filed Under Game Reviews |
Viking: Battle for Asgard is available through Sega of America, Inc at a price of $59.99. This warfare game involves Norse mythology, swordfights and swinging swords. This story is set in Norse legend. It is written by Rhianna Pratchett who was behind Heavenly Sword.
Norse mythology is among the most interesting in the world and with this offering you are likely to dive deep into the mysteries of the Norse warrior psyche. The protagonist in the game is Skarin. He is killed by the forces of Hel, who is the ruler of the underworld. Resurrected by Freya, the goddess of love Skarin fights for the good of humanity to save it from Armageddon.
The Asgard heavenly realm as well as Midgard the mortal realm are the scenes of action here. You can travel on foot or use portals to teleport you to new areas. You free enslaved vikings, destroy enemies, find artifacts as well as help townsfolk around. The battles are appealing and involving.
You do things like fighting shamans who can resurrect dead warriors. There are also “champions” who are very nasty enemies. The battle for Thornvik is the largest portion of the game. This game blends Norse mythology, RPG and action in an interesting cocktail that is sure to delight.
The visuals are good as is almost every aspect of this game. Recommended.
