be counting down our picks for the top
ten Viking themed video games before we
begin we publish new videos every day so
be sure to subscribe for more great
content for this list we’ll be examining
some of those games that best embrace
and embody the intriguing culture of the
Viking Age some opted to double down on
the violence and turmoil of the time
while others explore the culture and
mythology cherished by the Vikings
number 10 joked on
get rebirth and the chance to fight
another day
now there’s a myth in the making this
action-adventure game puts players in
the boots of thora a Viking warrior who
has recently died and who must now fight
their way into Valhalla see the Vietnam
Sun no these pretty cool what’s
immediately striking about jötunn is
its hand-drawn animation style which
gives thora and her world a charming
energy quite unlike other games beneath
ah so wise a tight blend of combat and
exploration with aura gaining new
weapons from the gods she backs and
working to solve puzzles in between the
battles number nine volgarr the Viking
[Music]
volgarr the Viking tasks players with
guiding the eponymous warrior sent forth
by Odin through a series of increasingly
challenging stages in order to kill an
evil dragon much like the game’s elamite
the title has you utilizing multiple
weapons in combat such as a wooden
shield and a sword
whips collecting treasure to unlock new
abilities against greatest strength lies
in its embrace a fair but tough gameplay
matched by its simple to grasp action
and solid progression system so where do
we sign up to hunt dragons ourselves
[Music]
number 8 the lost Vikings so time travel
huh this charming 1992 puzzle platformer
follows 3-time displaced Vikings Eric
Balog and Oh last in their noble
endeavor to return home first and
foremost the lost Vikings stands out as
a rather vibrant 16-bit era cane but
live its cartoon like character swipes
and detail Department beyond that though
the game proves itself adept in
characterization and overall design the
free Vikings dialogue is packed with
clever quips and the levels rely on
using the trio’s specialized ability to
miss it
odd and unpredictable though it may be
there’s no doubt in our minds that the
Lost Vikings is quite a delightful
experience to behold number seven for
honor great so ok ok so a Viking a
knight and a samurai walk into a bar and
what emerged was this game wait I think
I forgot the punch line anyway in this
Yutaka slash competitive multiplayer
game you can join in on one of these
three warring factions with the Vikings
here being known as the war born
there’s also apparently a story mode
which is it’s alright whatever but
really the best parts of the game lie in
its combat system especially when you’re
fighting other players and you finish
them off by smashing them in the groin
with your axe oh that’s gotta hurt
first number six Donkey Kong Country
tropical freeze
don’t worry you’ve not taken the lead of
your senses the direct sequel to 2010’s
Donkey Kong Country Returns tropical
freeze pits the lovable Kong family
against the newly arrived snowman a
group of fighting gear sporting arctic
animals
you
building itself on the classic
side-scrolling foundation of the donkey
kong game past tropical freeze delivers
on buried yet consistently stunning
levels and lovable characters to enjoy
amidst all the action on top of being
entertaining adversaries the
introduction of the Snowman brings into
the Boldwood centric and ornate design
elements that ensure that the Viking
influence is felt throughout number five
Age of Mythology at least Gaga Texas has
made his path clear this is the past we
seek beyond his Midgard
welcome to the Age of Heroes and epic
conflicts with a twist Age of Mythology
Falls an admiral named our cantos in his
chase of a malevolent Cyclops commander
across the globe leaving two
interactions with several different
civilizations
nifflheim wears good luck this is
Midgard we must return to our forge the
game’s unique narrative combining the
myths and figures of the Greek Egyptian
and of course north champion is
complemented by its exquisite attention
to detail when designing unit and
campaign settings
furthermore the intriguing favored
resource adds a unique element to play
in how it’s obtained and accumulated for
instance the North’s civilization gains
this resource by hunting animals and
gaining hero units which differs from
the conditions to gain favor for Egypt
or Greece scared very good games number
4 hell-blade sin was sacrifice and I
still didn’t know believe it or not this
is actually an indie title as it was
self-published and made by only 13
people but damn does it leave one hell
of a lasting impression immediately what
makes this game stand out from other
triple-a action-adventure title is the
titular character
seonhwa suffers from psychosis and her
symptoms are used to the full effect in
this game with frequent to loosen
nations and voices in her head
magic patrols are closed this design
choice in turn leads to a haunting
atmospheric experience worth checking
out and we highly recommend playing it
with head bowed on to really experience
the full effect your father cannot see
what we see there is nothing wrong with
seeing the world the way you do number
three rude it’s Graham it’s grotesque
and it’s pretty fascinating room basked
in Norse mythology with its central
storyline focusing on the Viking King
Ragnar sent forth to prevent the god
Loki’s world ending plan the game proper
expands further on this in its gameplay
based around cutting through an array of
undead bows and mythological creatures
there’s a real effort here to channel a
tense mood as Ragnar ventures across
snowy peaks and increasingly unsettling
parts of the realm on top of all that
Roode also benefits from a nuanced
combat system based on berry strikes and
attack types as well as a good variety
of melee weapons to choose from fun
stuff number two the Banner Saga shown
Muslim men in the cut alone have taken a
society over men scale matters not when
the execution is so impressive case in
point the Banner Saga places you in
command of a caravan charged with
escorting a prince to a giant ruled city
in debates to end conflict between the
Giants and humans the adventure largely
focuses on player made choices and how
it affects those instead cavern with
tragedy and devastation at times kind of
unavoidable
embracing a dark and at times cynical
view of the world the Banner Saga
manages to be compelling thanks to its
intense turn-based combat its complex
role-playing elements and its stark
medieval setting affording an art style
inspired by such animators as well fact
she and Don Bluth certainly doesn’t hurt
either before we unveil our top picks
here if you want Irbil mention what do
you think about the yarn doll I am why
y’all think Adriana knows now he is
wrong with
[Music]
number one the elderscrolls v Skyrim
sometimes direct references and tributes
just aren’t the way to go the
elderscrolls v skyrim seems to recognize
this philosophy given that it looks and
feels like a viking themed game in all
but its name the numerous questioned
activities evoke Norse folklore the
setting is appropriately vast in
mountainous and the citizens and
villages in Skyrim feel plucked straight
from the age of I Kings to repair the
blade this is the first time I’ve had
all the pieces thanks to our shield
brother here from its pantheon of gods
to its plentiful political strife from
its brutal violence to its awe-inspiring
vistas this is proof positive that
drawing from real world influences can
result in powerful fantasy experiences
