A distinctly below average hack-and-slash game with better examples of the genre already out there.

If you are a fan of dungeon crawlers, you will likely find yourself having a good time with Vikings – Wolves of Midgard. Despite its lack of satisfying loot, the game brings forth some really great visuals and some interesting ideas to the dungeon crawler formula.

Vikings: Wolves of Midgard is a nice and entertaining game but not an innovative one. Narrative is not good and you'll feel disconnected, but the action is violent and cathartic and has a lot to offer. It will remind you of Diablo but it's not as well-crafted as that game. Overall Wolves of Midgard is a good experience but nothing that you'll remember after two years. If you are fan of isometric action-RPGs, then Vikings: Wolves of Midgard is a nice choice to play.

In the end, Vikings: Wolves of Midgard is good. It retains most of what makes the genre so appealing, and the other changes, like environmental dangers, amplify the formula instead of watering it down. It doesn't move the genre forward, though, and the lack of a custom preset combined with spotty performance on middle-of-the-road hardware will make some people see this as rather unpolished. For those who want something new in the genre, Vikings is worth a shot.

There's a lot to like in Vikings, even if the game's never able to effectively articulate how it's different to the genre's greats. It manages - just - to be more than a by-the-numbers Diablo clone thanks to the creative energy that went into its bosses and environment design, but it relies too heavily on that, and the assumption that you'll be playing the game in multiplayer. As a single player experience, the limits on what Vikings can offer become distracting; making it good for a lazy afternoon of grinding fun, but not something that you'll remember over the longer term.

If you’ve worn out your Diablo disc, Vikings: Wolves of Midgard may fill a tiny bit of the void but mostly, its painful similarities yet numerous missteps will likely just frustrate you.

Game's title speaks for itself. Wolves of Midgard may be rough and uncouth, but it is also a spir-ited, cocky and self-confident like true viking and as fascinating as good ballad told by a silver-tongued scald.

Vikings: Wolves of Midgard wants to be different than Diablo by adding survival aspects, which is the main problem of the game. Yet it still might be appreciated by Diablo fans, because the combat is still fun. Just beware of the bugs that are spoiling the overall experience. After some patches, the game could be worth recommending.

Overall, Vikings is an enjoyable game with environments that are destructible enough to be weirdly satisfying and gameplay that’s entertaining enough to carry it (provided you have a gamepad), but it lacks any kind of narrative weight and begins to run out of ideas for varied boss fights toward the end.

It’s an entertaining and brutal game with some funny moments, like hearing your burly giant slayer mumble about his fingers numbing in the cold weather. I guess even vikings get cold.

This game is best played one time through the campaign but can be something that you can enjoy playing with friends if you want something different.

At the end of the day it is just a cool Diablo alternative that is very tame and safe.

Average execution across the board makes for an experience that, while not terrible in moment-to-moment gameplay, leaves no lasting impression.

Length is not an issue when it comes to Vikings - Wolves Of Midgard, especially as you’re offered a New Game+ mode that strips you of your gear but allows you to keep your skills once the campaign is completed.
