    Upon loading up Star Vikings, you are greeted by the most ridiculous and catchy 80's Saturday morning cartoony intro song I have ever heard. The song was so catchy and over the top that even after beating this game, I still catch myself singing, "Staaarr viikings!!!" then laughing a bit as I remember the silliness that is Star Vikings. I don't mean silly in any kind of derisive or mean way, but Star Vikings could be a satirical take on an 80's cartoon. My point is, that you aren't meant to…

    Star Vikings is actually a bit like Plant vs. Zombies - but you play the Zombies not the plants. It is a reversed tower defense game, where you have to destroy the towers (slugs) to get through. You have a variety of "heroes" in your arsenal, the tank, able to withstand a lot of damage, the viking, able to throw lightning on the slugs, "angels" able to cast shields (and healing), ... Each hero can wear a hat, giving him some bonuses, like extra damage, extra energy, more hitpoints, ... It is…

    Fun and addictive puzzle gameplay with RPG elements. Plenty of room for variety in strategy, and the new game plus mode is a good challenge. However, some of the achievements are really grindy. It would be better to get fuel or gold for bonus XP earned once you reach the level cap so you don't have to keep replaying levels for resources. Also fullscreen mode doesn't work in Linux (the mouse cursor disappears). ~ [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/31589634-Kimchi-Tea-Reviews/]Kimchi…

    You should buy Star Vikings. It is a game with a fantastic gameplay for those who enjoy puzzles. The Vikings attack the snails with hits that cause chain reactions creating a very good feel. The music and all sound effects are exciting. It is a casual game in its essence but you need a lot of intelligence to do well in puzzles. I really liked it.

    Watch the trailer. Listen to the theme song. YES the game is as good as that theme song. (And if you don't like the song, you obviously have horrible taste and shouldn't be allowed to buy anything ever) Seriously though, if you're a fan of the genre you'll have a blast with it. The level generation works beautifully, and makes it impossible to get bored. Give it a try!

    If there would be a neutral I would pick that instead of negative. The game is not bad, just not something I enjoy for longer time. It just reminds me too much of a (free to play) mobile title with a lot of repetition and grinding. For people who really enjoy the combat it may be a good investion, but there the game is just not tight enough for me. I recomend all to try the demo, to see if you like the gameplay or not. + Quite unique puzzle gameplay. + The game is all in all quite well…

    A Tactical Turn-Based Space Vikings Snail Slaying Game! And it's quite fun actually. It's not super polished and the difficulty curve is kinda screwed (bunch of very easy levels followed by almost impossible ones) but the mechanics are fairly unique and allow for interesting decision making and cool combos.

    Feels like if someone tried doing a puzzle game, had some solid foundation, and then just gave up and changed into a turn based quasi-rpg. After a while it feels like you're doing the same puzzle over and over again. The fact that some upgrades make the game HARDER (if you upgrade your damage and kill an enemy outright you can't start a chain reacition that would be much more benefitial - you should be able to choose how much damage you want to choose) the whole thing feels half-assed. Shame,…

    The game is barely an old flashgame, basic controls in a puzzle environment, use abilities to push and move things, shoot things from afar, activate traps etc but since it's mostly RNG and you can buy random powerups through grinding it's not a very great game, I put it down for two years, come back to it and forget entirely what it is all about so I have to restart to re-learn the controls as there is no help option for that. Bloody rubbish.

    Screens make it out to be a Plants vs Zombies game but instead it couldn't be further away. Clear lines in somewhat a puzzle-game, using your vikings abilities to the best to get the aliens to harm themselves and allow a passage. Otherwise, you just wont make it. It's a shame it's not more popular than it is cause it's a pretty darn puzzle game, and I generally hate that genre. Only con is a few bugs like the +attack/special attack for all only increasing special attack for the wearer, a…

    Loving the strategy in this game, once you get the main characters in the story to add to your clan it’s a ton of fun trying to figure out the strategy of who to use and in what order so they all help each other survive the levels. The level challenges seem to change so they are repeatable for gold or experience and some add a bit of complication when they force you to use a specific character and character level.. I can see myself spending lots of time playing and replaying the levels. Some…

    It's a good puzzle game, the mechanics are pretty simple and you have a sense of progress. The fact that each class has it own skill tree is amazing. The game is well built and has few bugs, but it's something that I am sure the devs will fix.

    Follow our [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/36214917/]Curator Group for more reviews Star Vikings Forever is a turn-based strategy game. The game is clearly designed for mobile, with little work done to port it to PC. Because of this, gameplay is relatively shallow and simplistic. Rather than have complicated mechanics or tactical depth, the levels unfold more like puzzles that you need to solve. Without grinding your characters, most levels are usually only completable in 1 or 2…

    It's a nice casual strategy game with some RPG elements to it. With a name like Star Vikings Forever it's not a game that takes itself seriously and tries being funny and ridiculous. You control a crew of vikings on a mission while having to fight your way through space snails. There are 6 different viking classes with unique skills and abilities you get to chose from as they level up. There are 4 worlds to play through, and a new game + continuation after beating the 4th world that has more…

    While the game itself is pretty great, the refresh timers and throttled "premium" currency plus exponential difficulty in gaining better equipment after finishing the short storyline makes this game feel like a grind-fest. The overall design feels like it was going to be a pay-to-win mobile game, complete with painful late game slog.

    This game is NOT as fun as I expected. I can get the side-to-side RPG, but the graphics are not very good-looking for me at least. I would not reccommend this game if you want to play a game without getting the,"free, advertisement-filled mobile game" experience. Edit: By "free, advertisement-filled mobile game" experience, i mean that the game feels like a mobile game littered with ads, not actually ad-filled.

    This game needs more popularity it deserves. Hilarious narrative for players to relax between hard puzzles is a nice thing. Graphics also adds to the humor of the game. Skill tree provides replay value where you can explore different combinations for the development of your heroes. Come on, let's give the devs more support! Thanks.

    i got this game using my saved up tokens on chrono.gg . I really enjoy this and am surprised it is not more popular. First level or two were mundane, but it soon picked up and clicked in my head what the game was. It is slightly forgiving at the start but soon tactics become vital. I only turned it on to see if worked, next thing I know 90 minutes had passed. I only hit it off because my daughter needed to go to bed. I actually prefer this to Plants v Zombies (which people compare it to)…

    A terrific puzzler. A series of chess puzzle type challenges (with a few random elements), overlayed with a fun silly story and fun silly graphics, and enough of a leveling-up mechanism and party-choosing to keep it fresh for quite a while (though you definitely do max out fairly quickly and settle on an optimal party that you can use for most everything).

    Not my type of game, but I can see that people may actually like this game a lot. Take the concept of Plant VS Zombie, turn it around a few times, shake it and add a few unique mechanics to it and you got this game. I did like the music a lot, got a weak spot for 80's music. So friendly, positive and awesome. If it had rap music with dumb rhyms, ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, N-word abuse of entitlements and hoes, well, I would rate this game as bad as possible.

Feels like you have lots of options in the load out of your Vikings, and you can play it how you want to play it if you are willing to work for the hats that make your strategy work. There's a good amount of game, especially if you want most of the achievements. Cons: I seemed to have an issue if I let a Viking die in front of another Viking, the one left…

    Star Vikings Forever is an imaginative blend of turn-based strategy, puzzle solving, and light RPG progression that manages to turn a deliberately ridiculous premise into a surprisingly thoughtful tactical experience. Developed by Rogue Snail and published by Akupara Games, it sends a crew of spacefaring Vikings into battle against an army of intergalactic snails. That setup immediately establishes the game's playful personality, but underneath the cartoon humor is a clever combat system built…

    I am 32 years old. My ex-wife and I have a daughter together, and we adopted our son together. Both are now 4 years old. When we were going through our separation, I felt lost and unhappy.
