8/10

Zombie Vikings is a four-player co-op stab-you-in-the-gut-a-thon laced with a dead funny story.

This game has gotten a lot of negative shtick in the press and I think we need to be reminded – it’s a game for kids – so it’s going to be cheesy and laughably American in a sense. During my first experience I wasn’t very impressed with it but once the bugs got fixed and it became playable I actually had a relatively good time because it brought back a few memories of playing video games in the late 90s. Side-scrolling brawlers are classics and aren’t meant to change the world of gaming. They’re just supposed to be fun. So once I put on my 12 year-old eyes (slightly creepy way of phrasing) I c...

Zombie Vikings is a bit of a Frankenstein’s Monster in terms of theme and humor, but it nails the important stuff. Tight controls, couch co-op, and an assortment of weapons awaits in this brawler from Zoink Games.

Zombie Vikings is basic brawler, but it’s a basic brawler done right, and is quite funny in the process. And, really, that’s all most people are looking for from this genre. There are far better examples out there of it, but as a Sunday afternoon killer, this one is nonetheless almost as worthy as Thor himself.

I’m a huge fan of the beat-’em-up genre. It can be rather repetitive, but typically that can be overlooked as the games tend to be rather short. Zombie Vikings, however, overstays its welcome and starts to get rather monotonous around halfway through. While it tries to throw in some interesting levels and boss fights, those mostly end up falling flat, just like the humor. On top of all that, the game is buggy with screen-tearing issues, subtitles not working properly, and glitches preventing levels from being completed. If you’re looking for a beat-’em-up to play, I’d recommend Castle Crashers...

Zombie Vikings is a fun beat ’em up that has some excellent moments of humour, with distinct feeling playable characters and a moderate level of difficulty. While the single-player alone is good, the multiplayer is where Zombie Vikings truly stands out. Zoink Games have shown once again why it is a studio worth keeping an eye on.
