Our take on Volgarr the Viking II
The bounce point arrives when repeated deaths meet the game’s precision requirements. Checkpoints, save states, and undead mode can adjust the punishment, but players who do not want an unforgiving arcade-style challenge may still hit a wall at the core combat and platforming.
What is Volgarr the Viking II?
Volgarr the Viking II is a 2D action-platformer centered on precise movement and combat, where a single mistake can cause death.
The sequel follows a barbarian king through larger worlds inspired by Norse mythology. Its campaign adds power-ups, magic forms, new enemy types, multiple endings, and bosses. The game retains an unforgiving difficulty modeled on 1980s arcade games, while checkpoints, save states, and an undead mode offer ways to adjust the punishment. A new soundtrack accompanies the Viking adventure, in which players use a sword and helmet while fighting through dangerous environments and enemy encounters.
