Viking Vengeance sends players to the bloody and harsh world of the Vikings. The Vikings, as is known, believed that it was the gods who led them through hundreds of bloody battles and by committing certain obscenities one could earn the favor of the inhabitants of Valhalla. In fact, the game is built on this. Endless battles await the hero of the game, in which outrageously realistic blood will splatter the entire screen.The main character is a stern warrior walking through three-dimensional locations, destroying enemies, collecting loot from them and looking into chests and cabinets scattered around the area in search of something interesting. In essence, this is a real-time roguelike. That is, huge labyrinths in the form of underground temples, caves, cemeteries or just cities are procedurally generated and one playthrough is in no way similar to another.Based on the favor of the gods, the combat system has the following features:
- prayers and sacrifices to the gods open up new fighting styles and blessings from them;
- each god is unique and is associated with its own set of requirements for the player and opportunities that he can get;
- the character receives new powers from the god, filling the devotion scale;
- the more the player serves one god, the more generous goodies he receives from him, but the anger in case of the deity's displeasure also becomes very painful.
Otherwise, this is a typical roguelike. A lot of different gear, a lot of potions. There are also dozens of different types of enemies, and the labyrinths are truly endless. The fate of the character in case of death is a surprise. Here he does not disappear forever, as in most similar games, but gets a choice of two possible outcomes.
