  • Summary: In this all-action fighting adventure, a battalion of Viking invaders, 1200 years late to the party, are causing havoc in your town. Imagine getting together a posse of local citizens: a construction worker, a butcher, a policeman, a pastor, and a schoolboy, then ripping up a phone booth or picking up a car,and hurling it at the advancing Viking hordes. That's the sort of crazy action you can expect in this totally new and original PSN title for PS3 and PS Vita.… Expand

    It's a cute, easy-to-play, innovative brawler presented with humor and a well-developed sense of fun. It's even more fun played through with a partner or two, and though the vs. multiplayer isn't to my taste, I'm sure many gamers will like it.

    Great value for money, solid multiplayer content and addictive gameplay.

    This arcade title has much potential, but it's only grounded in the multiplayer modes which are fun. On the single-player side it lacks variety and a background story.

    Pointless violence is fun and this viking showdown is good for some old-fashioned arcade smashing especially in multiplayer mode. It's an debut to old Amiga games. Back then all you needed was a joystick with two buttons. [Jan 2013]

    Why aren't there much more games like these? Beautiful, quick, cheap and, the most important of all, easy to play. It's basically what anyone wants from a portable, not touchy things. GREAT portable game!… Collapse

    For the cheap price, this game is perfect. There are plenty of levels and multiplayer modes to keep you busy at first. The real fun though is when you complete the game, and then have to go back to beat the challenges on each level and unlock new characters. Getting high combos is very fun and challenging and extends the replay value indefinately. I have already invested 20 hours in this game, and can see myself playing for awhile. Some people call it too simple, but they are simple minded individuals....there is a hidding depth to this game that you will realize is there after a few hours. The game looks amazing on the Vita and runs at a constant 60fps. This game is very fun alone, but is super fun with friends or online. I have played all Vita games, and I would have to say that this is in my top 3.....AND ITS ONLY like 7 bucks on PS plus. If you love classic challenging gameplay, and are a fan of the powerstone series or any partygame that has a game within where you throw **** at eachother....PICK THIS UP NOW!!! I give it a 10 for its price(10.5 considering you get both copies)....I would give it a 9 if it was full priced.… Expand

    Am really enjoying this game. It IS very repetitive, and can be a tad frustrating at times, but the gameplay is solid and controls fluent. Great game to play if you've only got 20-30 minutes.… Expand

    Fun game but it has 1 fundemental flaw. You see, when Vikings attack is best played in a local multiplayer setting on a single tv, something the vita cannot physically do. It was amazing that you get the vita game for free if you buy the ps3 version but the ps3 version is far better because of the local multiplayer set up. Trust me, get 3 freinds round and play 4 player free for all and you will understand. You see without that the vita version just ends up being an average game that gets a bit boring after a while, but local multiplayer doesn't have that problem.… Expand
