War of the Vikings Description

War of the Vikings is an online action game developed by the creators of War of the Roses. In the game, we get to side with either Vikings or Saxons. Fatshark, the studio behind this title, is mostly known for the aforementioned War of the Roses, but they are also responsible for such games as Krater: Shadows over Solside, Bionic Commando: Rearmed 2 and Hamilton’s Great Adventure.

Compared to War of the Roses, the game offers more options in creating and modifying the looks of our character. The developers were inspired not only by the actual realities of the period, so they added something extra to the mix. Up to 64 players may take part in battles. The most important element is melee combat, although it is enriched with some ranged weapons. Traditionally, the game rewards teamplay, while special perks let the player establish his role in the party by increasing some of his statistics.

Apart from the big battles, the developer also prepared the Pitched Arena mode, in which 32 people fight to the death. It means that if we die, we have to wait until the match is over. We may also test our skills and get some training in the Training Ground mode.
