Check out the Vikings: Wolves of Midgard features trailer below:
Master the Art of Battle to Progress
In the game players will have to master a variety of weapons that range from two handed hammers and swift bows to your sword and shield. Victory in battles will allow you to unlock gifts, battle powers, and lethal spell powers.
In addition to mastering the art of battle, players will also need to look out for pieces of legendary armour hidden in every level to unlock more powerful gear. Vikings: Wolves of Midgard features many different enemies but the boss battles will be your biggest challenge.
Each players most potent weapon will be rage mode; a bloodthirsty state which serves to enhance your abilities and earn you vital abilities.
This is because blood is a key resource in the game you can utilise to level up as well as earn Gift points. Harvesting blood unlock special powers called the ‘Gifts of the Gods’.
Not only will you have to contend with increasingly challenging enemies and boss encounters, you’ll also have to factor in the weather. Freezing conditions, fog, and heat will have a detrimental effect on your energies so tactical thinking is also a must.
According to Games Farm, the game is nearing completion and will feature a main campaign and New Game+ mode. Also also included will be support for a two player online co-op mode so you can take on enemies with a friend.
