Play it if you…
Good fit- Co-op players who want local or online brawling with up to three participants
- Action fans who prefer lane-based combat and coordinated attacks

Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a solo-focused experience may hit a wall at the game's emphasis on three-player cooperation
- Those who prefer calm, exploratory pacing may bounce off the repeated lane-based combat encounters
- Players looking for a shooter, climbing game, or metroidvania will find a different gameplay structure
Our take on Viking Squad
The bounce point arrives for players seeking a solo-focused adventure, because the game's central structure is three-player cooperation. Players who prefer calm exploration may also stall when lane-based brawling and coordinated attacks become the main activity.
What is Viking Squad?
Viking Squad is a three-player co-op brawler about stopping Loki and reopening the gates to Valhalla.
Players fight through lane-based encounters using precise attacks and coordinated assaults on groups of enemies. The game supports local couch play and online matchmaking. Each playable character has a signature weapon that changes their approach to combat. New weapons and gear can be found to develop each character and expand the available arsenal. Worshipping different gods reveals new opportunities and dangers during the voyage. The game features hand-drawn 2D artwork, with sound by Power Up Audio and music by A Shell In The Pit.
