  • Summary: Viking: Battle for Asgard thrusts players into a twisted mythological world overrun with demonic warriors unleashed by Hel, the Norse goddess of death. As Skarin, a rage-fueled Viking hero, players will wage all-out war to free mankind from the grip of evil and ultimate annihilation. Enemies will suffer graphic dismemberment with disturbing realism from an array of Skarin's melee, range and magic attacks.

    Battle of Asgard is a good game, but the conversion to PC is quite poor.

    Even years later the game still holds up well. It's a pretty, entertaining and at times challenging trip through dark forests and brutal fights. Still, it would have been nice if they had fixed the glaring sound issues.

    Four years is a long time. The once humdrum, but spectacular console slasher is now a humdrum, plain-looking PC game.

    Lacks the polish and panache to be a true champion, but Viking is still solid, no-thrills entertainment.

    un juego "hack and slash" con ambientación en la mitología nórdica, lo cual me encanta. Amo las temáticas vikingas. Si bien, el juego no puedeuede considerarse obra maestra, ni aportar nuevos conceptos, si lleva bien a cabo un sistema de combate sólido y la posibilad de protagonizar inmensas battallas junto a centenares de aliados. No es un juego de Rol, es más bien solo acción y aventura con locaciones y personajes de la mitología nórdica que repito, me encanta. Recomendado para los fieles al género hack and slash y amantes de la mitología nórdica.… Expand

    I bought this game originally for Xbox360 and played it on there, therefor i cannot speak for PC experience, i never actually completed the game but i did get around over the half way point of the game and found it pleasantly enjoyable, however at times can get frustrating due to how hard some of the bot mobs can be. the battles tend to get repetitive but there is always something you can buy and a different place to explore, which an adventure action game like this should always have, all in all i found it sometimes glitches in the map and some mission glitches but nothing to severe, all in all a very enjoyable game which i would say is well worth the purchase… Expand

    The game probably is nice, but have a lot of bugs that will annoy you, besides that the resolution options are terrible and the worst, mouse control is not working, at least not in my Steam version...… Expand

    Viking: Battle for Asgard is -exactly- what is wrong with modern gaming; namely that it is an extremely poor console port. It's poor performance causes for head-ache inducing camera movement, the controls feel as if though you're trying to control a gamepad with a keyboard because when you attack, you are locked in a one-on-one with the enemy which is hard to break free from. That might be useful on a console because a gamepad limits the ability of the user to quickly respond but if you have a mouse and keyboard, it feels like a huge limitation and ends up making for very frustrating fights because you'll be constantly trying to interrupt what you are doing to respond to new threats and will rarely succeed. You can learn new techniques to use during fights but this mostly means remembering a heck of a lot of key combinations. You'll also spend a lot of time wandering around and listening to uninteresting voice-actors. The game looks quite good despite its age but the way the combat works just made me drop it. I'm not sure if I'll pick it up again. The broken combat combined with the poor performance just makes me wish I hadn't bought it.… Expand
