I'd much rather be able to divide and conquer. This is a drag when it comes to collectibles, as you basically have to stick together to avoid missing them. Loot, gold, hearts and collectibles drop for both teammates, but you each need to pick your stuff up on your own. Four-player support would have been nicer, but playing with a single friend is still plenty of fun.Д¬o-op makes the game a lot easier, especially if you and your partner wield complementary weapons. Unlike Diablo, this one has no local multiplayer and only supports two-player online co-op. Vikings doesn't quite stack up to Diablo III in the multiplayer arena. Raging provides a damage boost and other benefits, but it only lasts for a short time until you've upgraded it with more gifts. The screen goes pale as your warrior's senses become heightened from the bloodlust. Once filled, you can unleash your Rage at will. Vikings were known for their berserker rages, represented here by the Rage mechanic.

This mechanic works similarly to refilling Estus Flasks in Dark Souls. To refill a charm's charges, you'll have to visit one of the blood shrines found throughout each level. Our hero can equip various healing charms that provide a limited number of healing charges between uses, and sometimes general regenerations. Naturally, these have cooldowns to prevent spamming.

The gifts purchased when leveling up will unlock additional attacks, each assigned to its own button on the controller. You start with only a basic attack and the ability to roll by hitting the right analog stick. Vikings' combat feels very much like that of Diablo III on consoles, which is a good thing. The non-shopkeeper NPCs in the village can't be spoken to and don't say anything on their own. One detail that disappoints, though, is the non-player characters. The village includes such important details as a mead hall, the home of the chieftain, where great feasts were held. All of these shops can be upgraded, allowing them to sell better goods. As the game progresses, the village will grow and offer new services to our hero. Initially, our hero has access to an altar, a Skald (medic and poet), and a smithy. Players will return to the village between raids (missions) to interact with NPCs and purchase upgrades. The newly rebuilt village serves as Vikings' hub world. After driving out the invaders, the townsfolk show their thanks by making the player the new chief of the village. Our hero must rescue the surviving villagers and defeat the sole remaining Jotan and its army of Tomte (goblins).

Hail to the chief, babyДЄs the game begins, Jotan (Frost Giants) have invaded the village of Ulfung and killed its chieftain.

Valhalla is the equivalent of Diablo's Hardcore mode die, and you'll be unable to continue.

Vikings offers four primary difficulty levels, plus the option to play any of those on Valhalla mode. With your character created, you're ready to start the game on the difficulty of your choice. I chose the Mighty Thor as my primary god, but I can switch to Skathi's bow when the situation calls for it. But Vikings allows players to switch between two weapons at will, so you're encouraged to at least develop a second god's abilities. This choice is important since the abilities and bonuses (called gifts here) you unlock from one god are only usable while wielding the matching weapon type. Thor provides hammer skills, Odin the staff, Tyr sword and shield, Loki dual wielding blades, and Skathi the bow. This choice determines weapon specialization. Having chosen your Viking's appearance, you'll choose his or her chief deity.

But this is a fantasy video game, and it would be so easy to throw in some skin choices in the name of diversity. Indeed, real-life Vikings were all Caucasian. Notably absent is the choice of skin color.
