Expeditions: Viking - Review Roundup

Here are a bunch of reviews (minus the ones we already reported about) for Expeditions: Viking, highlighting a review with the lowest and highest score.

The Low

Cubed3, 5/10

The real issue for Expeditions: Viking is simply whether or not someone is a fan of this older style WRPG experience. This offers very little to stand out from the crowd in this regard and modern gamers may be put off by various UI issues, or the heavy stat dependence. However, for those who liked these kinds of games, it sticks true to the recipe and the different resolution of quests is interesting to see. Trying different builds or dialogue options gives the potential for replay. One of the major things currently weighing it down is the various issues outstanding, matters that seem like more rigorous testing was required or something that comments from players would fix in a future update. The potential for a pretty fun game is present, but at this stage is still at least a patch or two away from being great.

The High

Strategy Gamer, 5/5

Expeditions: Viking is an awesome game and a great addition to our ever-expanding library of Turn-Based Viking RPGs. It breathes authenticity, it offers fast and brutal combat, and the options that you are given are truly fun. It's a game that's hard to save scum or to put down. I can't wait till the creators take us to new places, like the colonization of Africa or China. After all, they have shown that they have the deft touch needed to show what things happen when different worlds meet during expeditions!
