Show Full Description

Fimbul combines intense Viking battles with a deep story that unfolds through in-game comics to bring the frozen world of the Norse sagas to life. Immerse yourself in the blistering winter preceding Ragnarok -- The Fimbul Winter! Use the time-line-tree at any point to explore the decisions that changed your fate. Navigate your choices, go to any intersection, and follow a different path through your story. Fight the Vikings using a complex but easy-to-learn weapon-based combat system and gather fellow Vikings to help you defeat trolls the size of trees. Use items from the distant past to grow and battle the mighty Jutons, a race of giants older than the gods themselves.

5 / 10

There's a great deal to like about Fimbul, from its luxuriant vector inspired visuals to the solid combat and an interesting interpretation of Norse Mythology. Whilst the delivery of the plot in a comic book format disappoints, it is the failure of the frame rate that provides Fimbul's fatal and final blow. Without this issue being remedied, despite the many reasons I like the game, Fimbul is difficult to recommend.

5.5 / 10.0

A nice looking adventure, Fimbul is ultimately a bit of a hollow and forgettable experience

3.5 / 10.0

Though the setting is evocative, the poor combat, raft of bugs and meagre duration all conspire to ensure that Fimbul fumbles its setting and results in disappointingly poor roaming brawler.
