Nordic Warriors Reviews

The Game overall is a nice little throwback to the Myth series. I do not think it's as good. It's lacking in story, lore, and the overwhelming dread and helplessness that oozed out of the Myth series. Nordic Warriors feels a bit too cliched. There was no special destined hero in Myth except Connacht but he was part of a large circle of light and darkness, not "the chosen one" as Freja is in this one. Combat feels a bit floaty... wish there was some physics engine behind all the guts, arrows, and grenades alchemists throw. It feels more "scripted" than what you had in Myth. Lastly, the units feel bland and uninspired it's a shame. What's good about the game is that enemy encounters are well thought out and you can feel the developers did spend some time on designing the missions. It does capture a glimpse of the game it modeled itself after. To me it's worth a buy if you enjoy Myth series or late 1990's RTS's but don't expect a masterpiece. Just a humble throwback to the good old days.

Fantastic game, it's mad this isn't better known. The developers certainly make no secret of their love of Myth and even though I haven't played those games in over 20 years, the nostalgia is strong with this one. Playing through on 2nd hardest difficulty it will take you about 10-11 hours to play through. Challenging but not impossible, especially if you turn the speed down. In later missions, speed control is beyond essential to get through. The scenarios are varied, the enemies are relentless and the blood and splatter is gratuitous. Highly recommended!
