Vikings: Wolves of Midgard being an isometric A-RPG in the same vein as Diablo, Victor Vran, Torchlight and Titan Quest, it's out there attempting to settle that craving of smashing hundreds of enemies down in as few swings as possible in quick sessions. Featuring co-op just like the best of them, it's certainly one worthy of your time.
If Slaying The Jotun Sounds Like Your Sort Of Thing, Hit Up Green Man Gaming For A Cheaper Copy
Following Norse mythology, Vikings: Wolves of Midgard is all about Ragnarok and the spawning of the Jotun - massive god-tier creatures ripe for the killing. Whereas your Diablo character just happens to be a powerful mortal, your Viking is one with powers bestowed by the gods themselves. And with any game in recent memory, launch day isn't the end of it. We're going to detail every patch - big or small - down below.
