So now I present Viking: Battle for Asgard game which is truly great and enjoyable. I've played this title for few nice hours and my impressions are pretty rich. What is this about? I'll explain. There is a bad god called Hel, which is women who wants a vengeance. She want to destroy all Midgard with her Legion... so she want to take the world on her own but our great Viking hero, called Skarin, become a mortal Champion of Freya and his target is that Hel. On the way, he will kill a thousands of enemy troops, saving Vikings, destroy or find something and recapture every city on three islands to defeat Hel. Oh, he will make a RAGNAROK! So that's the story. About audio-video, this is truly next-gen game. Graphic is really great and detailed, the weather is also nice made. About techical side of game, better check videos and pic's from game. Or the best - play game bu yourself. So now proceed to...

Gameplay. #@^#!@#! AWESOME! First island. Begin. Making contacts, speaking with other Vikings, doing first assigments which is clear ruins and save Vikings. The open fight would end in death (no problem, you will respawn in main camp) so I flank the Legion warriors and use a moment to free my Viking brothers and after that we make a carnage with Legion troops. Awesome. And after that we making another fights with Legion to save, kill and grab. First good skirmish with hundreads of troops! Charging with them to skirmish - it was a Gorge battle - was one of gratest fellings in game, of course, in later time, the battles are bigger and better with thousands (!!!) of troops. It would be perfect if it'll be a text like - "Madness? THIS IS RAGNAROK!". But there are also stealth missions for e.g getting regenerated our Dragon Amulet in heart of Legion bastion. So we need to make it silent but the satisfaction when I in next hours assault the bastion with thousands of troops and slaughtering everything in my way. Battle's are awesome. And that to second and third island and battles are OUTTRAGEOUS and GIANT. So for now, thar's all my impressions... Peace.

UPDATE #1:

So now I were on third and last islands and game is REALLY TOUGHT. Before taking the Thornvik I have cleared three places and crashed a lot of Legions skulls. Clearning Quarry, that was pretty easy job but fight with Legion Champion was hard. That sucker was damn hard. After that I cleared two other places and mastered all the moves at Battle Arena. After that, when preparations were done, squad of Viking's warriors ambushed Mega Patrol (sic!) - I think there were around 500 Legion troops but fight with so many allies was easy and ended within few minutes. So that Mega Patrol was defeated the next target was Thornvik itself. First of all, I saved few Viking brothers in small camps and then infiltrate city to get a prison cave key from traitor. Fight with him was easy but same infiltration - NOT. I didn't get killed but adrenaline was high. After that the main battle begins - it was big, hard and AWESOME. Felling when you fighting along with thousands of other Vikings versus thousands of Legion troops... fight for your life, using Dragons to destroy Shamans, fight with Giants and Champions - GREAT. Battle had few phases and the last one was hard - summon a Shaman in the Leystone when nearby still enemys are respawning. But after two times I finally made it and battle was over. Again, we won.

But before Skarin can finally crush Legion power and defeat Hel, there is still a lot to do. Now the Hel's army is most powerful even saving the Viking brothers is really hard. For example, first place to liberate north of Thornvik. It is guarded by several troops, one giant and Shaman. This is madness. Shaman can revive fallen troops and giant... it extremaly hard to beat him without any support (especially when I don't mastered combo moves). Of course, there is a cage with Vikings which I need to save them, that I tryed two times to get to them unseen but I got caught into fight and died. Still I need to save them, find a way to open Gateway and next... clear next places and save next Vikings... rouitne job I can say. But I can't wait untill final battle. RAGNAROK! Oh yea... GS five that game 5.0. I think it's really low. It deserves at least 7.0.
