Vikings - Wolves of Midgard
Sharpen your axe, make your blood sacrifice to your deity and
prepare to embark on an epic and brutal adventure as you journey to the Shores
of Midgard, a world based upon the mythology and bloody history of the Vikings.
Take on the endless evil forces by becoming either a Viking warrior or
shieldmaiden and master several weapon styles and magical abilities as you
battle increasingly challenging enemies and boss encounters. Combat styles
include sword and shield, two-handed hammer, staff, bow and dual-wield axes,
and by collecting resources and special runes on your adventures you’ll be able
to use the game’s in-depth crafting system to upgrade your equipment. Dedicated
explorers will also be able to find legendary weapons and armors as well as
Artifact weapons tucked away in each of the levels to unlock the most powerful
gear in the game. Alongside items and materials, the other key resource you’ll
be harvesting is blood, used to level up and earn Gift points, which in turn
unlock special powers called ‘Gifts of the Gods’
Vikings – Wolves of Midgard will transport you to the Shores of Midgard, a world based upon
the mythology and history of the Vikings. Battle the fearsome Jotan, hordes of
terrifying undead monstrosities and other myriad beasts of Ragnarok, either on
your own or by teaming up with a friend via the online co-op multiplayer mode.
Master mighty weapons, including sword and shield, two-handed hammers,
dual-wielded axes and swift bows. Earn blood in battle to offer in tribute to
the Gods to acquire and enhance devastating Spell Powers and other special
unlockables. As well as the regular story mode (and New Game+), players can
also test their mettle in the ‘Trials of the Gods’ – a special challenge mode
that rewards the best warriors with special equipment and runes.
