Description

A fierce struggle is taking place within Asgard, the realm of the Norse Gods. The battle has escalated, spilling over to the mortal world of Midgard and now a Champion must be found, a Warrior than can sway this war that threatens the fate of Asgard and the Gods themselves.

The goddess Hel – daughter of Loki, Norse God of mischief, has been banished from the heavenly kingdom of Asgard for defying Odin’s rule. Angry at her fate, she seeks to release the ancient wolf-god Fenrir which legend tells will bring about Ragnarok - the apocalyptic battle that will destroy Asgard and the Gods. With her army of resurrected Viking warriors, Hel marches on the unsuspecting mortal realm of Midgard.

Odin’s daughter Freya, goddess of love and wisdom, is appointed the task of stopping Hel and defending the future of mankind. For her champion she chooses Skarin, a great but troubled young warrior, ignorant of the true reason for his favour with the Gods and thrust into the midst of their bitter war.

As Skarin, players will experience unparalleled battle scenes, leading the charge in a titanic clash between powerful gods and mere men. War on an unprecedented scale will rage across a beautifully realised Viking landscape.

Sometimes I enjoy eating butter bread. This game is butter bread. It's open world, but there is nothing in the world which is also lifeless. Your objective is to liberate areas of the islands from the demonic horde,

Awesome game , used to play back on Xbox 360 back in the days , people crying about a 2008 game having bad graphics and being capped fps is something else. Combat/missions are a bit repeating but everything else is

Viking: Battle for Asgard is not a bad game, but it is very mediocre. Also it didn't age well, even when compared to competitors like the early God of War games. Made by an established developer Creative Assembly, it

Peak of nordic action, you may not be a viking raiding the shores, but there's yet to be made a game with gameplay as juicy, varied and rewarding. All the ambushes, sieges and fights with random patrols that stroll

Initially it's fun, but the gameplay loop gets repetitive after a while. When you clear the first island you've experienced pretty much all the game has to offer and you're just doing the same stuff over again after
