Volgarr the Viking 2

Volgarr the Viking 2 – remember the brutal 2D side-scroller that made you quit the game in rage ten years ago? Well, get ready for round two. Here the barbarian king is resurrected for a new generation of masochists… that is, experienced gamers. This time Volgarr isn’t just another pixelated dude running to the right. The developers promise a bigger and scarier experience. Norse mythology comes to life with vast landscapes inspired by legends.

Each area will be unique, full of secrets and, of course, deadly enemies who are just waiting to send you back to the control point. Speaking of enemies, Volgarr the Viking 2 isn’t complete without boss battles. This is no ordinary jumping and stomping. Each meeting is a carefully designed test of your skills. Study the patterns, choose your timing, and maybe you will come out a winner. But what to do? One wrong move and it’s all over. But fear not, aspiring warriors! Unlike its predecessor, the project offers several concessions to modern gamers.

Save points? Eat. Difficulty settings? Don’t hesitate. Feeling overloaded? There’s even an undead mode that lets you take a few extra hits before dying. So is the title the sequel you’ve been waiting for? If you’ve been missing the relentless challenge of classic arcade games, the answer is definitely yes. Just be prepared to die. So many. But at least you’ll have multiple endings to work towards.
