Expeditions: Viking Reviews
This new CRPG is deeply mediocre, even for fans of the genre. Bad combat, boring story, and bugs make for a forgettable experience.
At the end of May in 2013, the company Logic Artists released Expeditions: Conquistador. The title was a well-received tactical RPG with a fantastic take on simulating a journey to the new world. It was with great anticipation that a sequel arrived on our shores here in 2017. Not a direct sequel mind you… This adventure would focus on another group of explorers: The Vikings.
Expedition: Vikings is a great game for fans of Viking lore. It tells an engaging, well-written story while doing its best to remain faithful to Viking lore. It has some rough edges, but overall it’s a great tactical RPG.
Fun trip to the 8th century from the Danish invaders' point of view. Expeditions: Viking's combination tactical combat with clan building and exploration is brought down by its technical issues, though.

Man the oars and burn the churches! An excellent Viking adventure that is kept from perfection by a few niggling issues in story and a sometimes punitive combat system. Very much worth a look for all fans of Vikings, tactical combat or turn-based RPGs.
Expeditions: Viking builds upon the amazing combat and variety of Expeditions: Conquistador, adds more depth, much more interesting decisions to make and it shows how much Logic Artists improved itself as a developer.

Expeditions: Viking brings together two of my favorite things - RPGs and strategy. The packages has a few flaws here and there, but it is easy to overlook them when the overall game is so much fun to play. It seems Vikings have been a more popular topic over the last few years, from television shows to movies and even video games. There is a little bit of Banner Saga vibe here as you are tasked with leading your clan after your father passes away and you are forced into a situation your character may not be fully prepared for.
