A gloriously funny and unabashedly enjoyable side-scrolling hack em’ up, Zombie Vikings is great fun with friends but falls just short of true excellence on account of some glaring visual flaws.

Critic Reviews
Zombie Vikings Review
A fun, but unremarkable beat-em-up, best enjoyed with a group of friends.

This title is wonderfully unique in every single respect, from its wonderfully weird visuals to its staggering amount of gameplay variety to it’s coming together of many different ideas, which all form it’s own fully cohesive concept in terms of story. Ever since the start of the influx of indie games throughout the last two generations, it’s been fantastic to see so much depth and imagination implemented in the majority of these kinds of titles coming from many vastly creative developers, and this game is yet another excellent example of this.

Zombie Vikings is a good game to play with a larger group, swapping controllers based on performance and trying to use wit and superior skill to get the best rewards for one's character. The entire campaign is also interesting when played solo, especially because Zoink forces players to try out all the protagonists, but there's a lot of extra value for those who choose to engage with other humans as they play. The biggest problem with the title is that it lacks any innovation when it comes to the core brawling mechanics, and there's a point, about four hours in when it's hard to justify playing because the game has already shown everything it has to offer other than the narrative. Zombie Vikings is a solid title for those who love the core concepts that power it and have good memories of Streets of Rage or Golden Axe and also offers a good entry point for those who want to see what a modern take on the brawler looks and plays like.
