Viking Rage Reviews

This game is too exhausting to finish haha great game though, plays exactly as advertised and has lots of levels!

Even the first two levels were so much fun! And there are even more as well as Mini-Games. Definitly a must have for everyone with a HTC Vive

it could actually be decent, but it is definitely not worth the $$ as-is. refund requested after 19mins of gameplay and I completed 2 levels this is not a fake review and I rarely review games

You know what VR needs? Another wave defense game! https://youtu.be/trU3F19qetg Overall, Viking Rage isn't a bad game. I liked the attitude and the presentation. It's a solid wave defense title. Therein lies the problem though. I've always been quick to defend a good wave shooter/wave defense title, however even I'm getting tired of seeing them. I had expectations that didn't match what the game was. I try to intentionally go into these games blind without being colored by anyone else's opinion. I was expecting something a bit more adventure-ish. So needless to say I was a bit let down by the fact the game is a simple wave defense title. That being said, it's a decent game if you're not as jaded as I am yet. Currently there are 6 levels to work through. The visuals and audio are not bad but nothing to write home about. There is a decent level of difficulty. Especially if you're as bad at sportsing as I am. My accuracy with the axes is shite. The balance of the weapons does seem to be well done though. Thrown axes are pretty much a one shot kill while the much easier to use bow and arrow that has a guide for the arrows path take several hits to kill. As a wave defense game, it's pretty decent and as such it will get a thumbs up. I really want to seem more in depth games though. Something that's going to grab me and make me want to do a whole series of videos like Vertigo.

had to refund due to bad framerate on a 1080. Could've been decent but the game isn't optimized well.

I love the beautiful and atmospheric polygon art style of the game. Playing around with the physics and hurling stuff is everything you need in VR. Additional to the Basic Game you can find a bunch of fun secret Minigames. One of them is playing golf with a tiny wolf that you have to smack with your axe into a target for points. There a some more, but I hate spoilers. Btw I fall in love with the lovely particles you find everywhere in this nordic world. Burning down the whole environment and let the kobolds explode with my burning arrows - I always enjoy it strongly. Being a Viking, drinking beer and nailing the enemies with my axes is all I've ever wanted!

Viking Rage is a set of low poly VR exclusive minigames centered around basic tower defense/wave survival gameplay, only the big deal is that you wave your arms around to accomplish stuff. If the game is compatible with your VR headset/controllers (it probably isn't). This looks and feels like a lot of the assets in the game are flipped/borrowed/plagiarised from asset stores, but I don't have any immediate proof, so let's go with giving the developer the benefit of the doubt. Regardless, this is visually unimpressive on top of all the other problems with it (broken achievements and a sea of compatibility issues). The game features lazy low-polygon "retro" assets, making this look like a barely functional 3D game from the 1990s. It's unclear why the developers weren't able to arrange high quality, high polygon count contemporary assets for the game, and also irrelevant... what matters is that this looks bad as a result of their decisions, a compromise PC gamers shouldn't have to put up with. This seems to have been made a VR exclusive to prevent any comparison with non-VR 3D games, a comparison that this game would fail very badly at. Developers must learn that while VR is great, if the only thing that makes the game great is the VR, then the game isn't great at all. These technical defects push this game below acceptable standards for any modern PC game. The poor quality of this game is reflected by how many people spent time with it. At the time of this review, SteamDB shows the all-time peak player number was only 9 players. This is a remarkably low number, and now, the only player activity occurs once or twice a month, presumably someone loading it up to see what it is then quickly uninstalling it. Considering there's over 120 million gamers on Steam and well over 110,000 games for gamers to choose from, the overwhelming lack of interest in this low quality game is to be expected. So, should you buy this game? Is this one of the best of the 110,000+ games on Steam? Viking Rage has the ridiculous, laughable price of around $9 USD, it's not worth it given the defects and shortcomings with the product, especially considering the sheer number of completely free, much higher quality games on Steam. For comparison, the $9 asking price for this game could get you games like "Subnautica", "Far Cry 5" or "Europa Universalis IV". Quality, professionally made games like those are frequently on sale cheaper than this.

I just got my Vive new, but i played some different games on friends places or conventions and watched a lot of gameplay videos. so i have to say Viking Rage is really worth the money cus it brings way more features and things to explore with it than most of the other vive games i've tried. the physics are great and the graphics are cartoonish in a very good way. 3D Audio is also implemented so i would use headphones for playing this game, but it works just fine on speakers as well. i also like that there are minigames within the game, but u have to find them in the mainhall, and i think u have to unlock them first. overall a very worth trying out for everyone owning a HTC Vive.

Pros: - enjoyable atmosphere with the voice actor sounding pretty neat (though a little repetitive) - beautiful graphics, not overly demanding yet pretty - the setting is well made and the menu/submenus do feel as part of the game and not just "put on top" Cons: - the controls aren't really polished. The axes fly fairly weird, a slight rotation maxes them spin incredibly fast, the path is sometimes a little wobbly and so on. The momentum feels fairly on point though. Overall, it's not enough to keep up a good immersion in VR in my opinion. - optimisation sometimes lacking/bad choice of graphic effect; on my R9 390 the game runs smoothly, but transitioning between scenes/levels makes the game stutter a lot. Even though I'm not sensitive to VR sickness, it doesn't feel that good... - the gameplay itself feels fairly slow Personally, I like the game except the most essential part - the way the gameplay was implemented. The VR controls simply feel off and that kills such a game for me. The game simply doesn't keep me entertained for longer than that novelty effect created by the setting and the graphics. I can't really recommend it at the current price tag - and I actually managed to get it at a fair discount.

I bought this game for $2.69 It's really not a very good game. There is some potential, but the axe-throwing is all wonky.... I wouldn't recommend this.
