All about game War of the Vikings
War of the Vikings is an exciting and historically inspired video game that puts players right in the middle of fierce Viking-Saxon combat. This hardcore melee combat game requires skill to defeat opponents, rather than raw strength. Players can choose their side—either the Vikings or Saxons—and customize many elements of their character’s appearance and armament.
At its core War of the Vikings is a third person hack and slash action game, with a focus on close quarters combat between two teams. Players use swords, axes, shields and other weapons to battle it out with up to 32 people in intense online multiplayer matches. The goal for each team is to push forward into enemy territory by capturing strategic points across multiple maps set during different times throughout history.
The customizable aspect extends beyond simply selecting which faction you want to play as; players are able to choose from various armor styles including chain mail hauberks or leather tunics - all based on real Viking garb - plus they can design their own shield paintings, select beards (or even go clean shaven!), pick from dozens of weaponry options such as spears or bows, and add special perks like extra health regeneration when playing certain classes. All these customization options give the player plenty of freedom when creating their character’s look before heading onto the battlefield!
Additionally there are several different gameplay modes available including Team Deathmatch where players must fight for control over key locations within a map; Capture The Flag where one team attempts to steal flags from another's base without being detected; Last Stand which pits four players against waves of computer controlled enemies; Elimination mode where two teams must eliminate each other until only one remains standing; Skirmish mode featuring 8v8 battles that have both sides trying capture three points simultaneously while defending their own base against attack; and Duel mode where two combatants square off in an epic single-combat showdown!
War Of The Vikings offers an intense melee experience that blends historical accuracy with modern gaming technology – perfect for fans who love strategy games but also enjoy fast-paced action gaming too! With so much variety available there’s no doubt this will provide hours upon hours entertainment for any fan looking for some brutal Norse warfare fun!
