Viking: Battle for Asgard
Viking: Battle For Asgard, in many ways, feels similar to God of War, although it doesn’t quite live up to its quality. The Goddess Hel is banished from Asgard for defying Odin’s rule, and angry at her fate she wants to release the wolf-god Fenrir and bring around Ragnarok. As she revives legions of dead Viking warriors on Midgard, the human realm is on the brink of destruction, and so the goddess Freya chooses a young warrior named Skarin as her champion.
The crux of Battle For Asgard has you traveling around three different islands in Midgard, rescuing warriors from legions of dead to assist you in the war. The game features over-the-top violence, befitting something like God of War, and there’s some absolutely massive battles that you’ll take part in. There’s plenty of little side things to collect and do, and while the game’s story may be a bit overdramatic, it’s a fun use of Norse mythology. Viking: Battle For Asgard has its fair share of problems, like an empty feeling world, but it’s a fun romp if you’re just looking for an action game with a Norse theme to play through.
