So punishing yet so entertaining!

I'm by far not the best with these old school games. I have been playing Völgarr for last 4-5 days, must have spent at least 20 hours on it and only finished 2 worlds and one level in the third so far, but... I love it! Once you get to master each level, you get this incredibly satisfying feeling that you'll hardly feel in modern games, because when you reach for Völgarr for the first time, you WILL die! Very early on, perhaps in the first 30 seconds. And then again, and again, and again... but very often you will get just a little further, and further... and that's just worth going on. The game controls are very simple, but don't be fooled... Try to play yourself and then take a look at youtube, search for a video of speedrun of the first world (2'38"... incredible!!) If you don't mind dying and want to try some real old school tough as a nail but fair and precise platformer, go for Völgarrrrrrrrr the VIKIIIIIING!!!!

Love it! love everything about it!

The toughness! It's ingeniously built, and every detail is very well thought of. It only took me about 30 something deaths to stop loving the guy's death and rise again, a total BADASS! the game play is action packed, and full of enemies, but to prevail, you must learn it's rythem and surroundings to prevail. It's provocative, and THAT'S what I love about it! that's the 90's SEGA genesis / Arcade kinda thing that makes me love games like Kid Chameleon, VectorMan, Comix Zone, and the likes.

Practice makes perfect

Just finished the game (with ending C) and had lot's of fun playing it, i'd say that along with Shovel Knight this is the best platformer I've played in recent years. The game is pretty hard by today's standards and I can relate to people getting frustrated with lack of checkpoints, but for me each death encouraged me to better myself and find some other strategy to beat the level and the bosses. I grew up playing classic NES/SNES/DOS platformers, so I felt right at home with the difficulty level. The controls are perfect, each death is only a result of you screwing up. Beating each level takes practice and you need to be persistent, when you finally beat the level, you feel great satisfaction in doing so. After beating the game I played the first three levels again and beat them on first try without deaths not even breaking a sweat. Initially each level felt almost impossible, but now after tons of practice, they were pretty much a walk in the park. So in essence, the game is not that hard, it's only up to you to hone your skills enough to beat it.

Not for the weak or meek

Volgarr the Viking is a trip back to the old NES games like Castlevania 1, Megaman 1, Hudson's Adventure Island , Ninja Gaiden (1, 2, 3), Ghosts N' Goblins and Ghouls N' Ghosts. The game play is identical to those games being that you will need to play it repeatedly in order to learn the level and get past it. There are no saves and no extra lives, but you have only 2-hits to spare only if you acquire the shield and helmet. If you die, you will be sent back to the beginning of the level. The graphics and design are a nod to the old 1987 Taito game, Rastan. The first part of the first level is somewhat identical to Rastan's first level. And you can even find Rastan's dead old bones complete with gear and sword in the background...I guess Volgarr's game was too difficult for him :D The graphics are exactly what you'd expect from a 16-bit platform game. They have a nice realistic, but cartoon look which I like. The animations for the characters are stiff, but this is mimicking those old NES and SNES games which had the same animations. The levels are interestingly designed and each have a specific theme. The controls are also similar to the old NES games I mentioned above. They are tight and the double jumping lets you have some flexibility in controlling the jump. Only well skilled gamers will be able to be creative with Volgarr's type of jumping. The epic type music is really amazing. I wish the soundtrack was included with the game. It makes me feel like I'm watching a Conan the Barbarian movie. The only modern enhancements of the game that I noticed are some complex transparencies on Volgarr's fire sword and the ability to pan the screen out. Overall, it is fun game to try to master and when you do it is really satisfying. It took me a day to finish it with repeated tries. After you finish the game by going through the easy path it will hint to you about a hard path, the "Valkyrie Path". Thus the game has some replay value. This game is for elite gamers only.
