Almost everyone knows these stern northern warriors, fearless sailors and merciless robbers, who held half of Europe in fear in the early Middle Ages. Their images are often reinterpreted by our contemporaries, significantly moving away from what the Normans really were. But let’s be honest, often such transformations of ancient Scandinavian warriors, proposed by game and movie scriptwriters, turn out to be very successful and interesting for the viewer or player.

Therefore, this time we decided to dedicate our new selection to games about Vikings, which are available on PC today.

The best Viking games on PC

11. Vikings - Wolves of Midgard

Role-playing action game of 2017 from the Games Farm studio, which borrowed a lot from the great hack & slash RPG series called Diablo. It's a lot, but not everything, and what makes Vikings - Wolves of Midgard most unique is its story and setting.

Wolves of Midgard takes place in a fictional world where true historical accounts of the Vikings sit side by side with Norse myths and other fantasy fiction. And, I must admit, the environment and atmosphere in this game turned out to be quite attractive. So, if you are not looking for historicism and love isometric role-playing action games in the spirit of Diablo, Path of Exile and Grim Dawn, then be sure to check out Vikings - Wolves of Midgard.

10. The Banner Saga Series

9. Viking: Battle for Asgard

A console action game from back in 2008, it reached personal computers in 2012. There are no fundamental differences in gameplay or graphics between the versions on PC and consoles: this is a good action game with an open world and an interesting combat system, which has a clear bias towards slashers. Also important in the gameplay are QTE and RPG elements.

As for the plot and setting, as in the two previous cases, in Battle for Asgard the developers decided to take Scandinavian mythology as a basis and reinterpret it in their own way. The story of the game is based on the war between the gods of Asgard, which also affected the human world - Midgard, dividing the local inhabitants into several hostile camps depending on the god they worshiped.

8. For Honor

A multiplayer game based on an exciting and varied combat system using various melee weapons. There are several factions available in the game with a unique set of classes for each, including the Vikings.

However, it is worth taking into account that despite all its innovation, entertainment and abundance of content, not everyone will like For Honor. The reason is a specific combat system, which was not to the taste of many due to the difficulty in mastering all the subtleties.

7. Viking Squad

A bitmap with Vikings as the main characters, in addition to the whirlwind and never-boring gameplay, it delights with its cute cartoon graphics.

Players can expect a large number of vibrant interactive levels, exciting battles with unimaginable enemies and bosses, as well as the opportunity to take part in this exciting adventure with a friend in a special cooperative mode.

6. Rune Classic

A slasher film with a third-person view, in which the Viking Ragnar, who has returned from the afterlife, has to oppose the evil and treacherous god Loki, who has decided to bring to life the ancient myth about the end of the world and bring Ragnarok to Midgard.

By the way, Rune is expecting a full-fledged sequel in the near future. A sequel with exactly the same name is scheduled for release in 2018, the events of which will unfold seven long years after the completion of the first part. The game will feature a completely open world, an extensive crafting system, and a brutal melee combat system.

5. Ancestors Legacy

4. Valnir Rok

Nowadays, there is nowhere without role-playing games about survival in the open world. And games about Vikings are also represented by one such rather interesting project. We are talking about Valnir Rok Survival RPG, which was released into early access on Steam in the fall of 2017.

For those who like to survive, there is everything you could want here:

• a large open world full of dangers;
• an advanced crafting system that allows you to cook, build, make weapons and armor, and so on;
• the ability to cooperate with other players;
• PvP and PvE systems for every taste.

Finally, Valnir Rok differs from all other similar games in its competently recreated Old Norse setting. True, not everything that the developers planned and promised has now been implemented properly. However, do not forget that the game is in early access, and by the final version it can significantly change and open up new opportunities for users.

3. Northgard

A strategy in which the player takes control of a clan of Vikings who arrived in new uncharted lands and decided to settle there. The construction of a new settlement, its gradual development and strengthening, protection from all kinds of sorrows and misfortunes, as well as the gradual establishment of trade and scientific research, the study of the territory spread around - this is approximately what will be done in Northgard.

Although Northgard's focus is on building and survival, traditional real-time strategy combat still remains, as players will constantly be faced with a variety of enemies seeking to test the Viking settlement's defenses. But war is not always the only correct way to solve a problem. You can form a peaceful alliance with many creatures in Northgard; fortunately, the game also has a diplomatic system.

Games about Vikings, very often, are built around the monotonous theme of war and battles. But the genres delight with their diversity, here you have strategy, RPG, and casual simulator. In their works, the developers try to maintain the time period of the Middle Ages and adhere to traditional stereotypes about the Vikings. For example, the headdress of Scandinavian warriors, in almost all games, are horned helmets. IN Lost Vikings, developers from Blizzard, make fun of existing stereotypes. Besides Lost Vikings, the most famous Viking games on PC are: Viking: Battle for Asgard And Loki: Heroes of Mythology. In some games, such as Skyrim or The Witcher 3, there are no Vikings directly present, but there are races or a group of characters that closely resemble them.

Strategy games about Vikings

For those who like to use their brains and experiment with tactics, there are high-quality strategy games about Vikings. In them, the player will not only have to fight against other nations, but also pay attention to his own settlement or squad. Extract resources and provisions, build buildings, ships and combat vehicles, produce weapons, etc. The most popular Viking strategies for PC are Viking Saga And Medieval Total War: Viking Invasion.

You can play the Viking strategy not only on PC, but also on mobile devices. The most famous work for Android and iOS devices is Vikings: War of Clans.

From our website you can download the best Viking games on PC, Android or iOS of any genre. Here you will find unbiased reviews, watch videos and pictures to make the right choice. Also from our website you can start playing online games about Vikings for free.

Games about Vikings are, of course, included in the pantheon of favorite themes for a significant part of players. Scandinavian mythology is often found in games - sometimes the developers will come up with a people “very similar to the Vikings” or casually mention one of the Scandinavian gods (Odin, Thor, Loki, etc.).

At the same time, it cannot be said that ancient Scandinavia occupied the top of the best games; after all, there are not many high-quality projects.

A selection of the best games about Vikings

on PC and consoles, tailored to personal gaming preferences

Viking: Battle for Asgard

In order to free Fenrir the wolf and thereby trigger Ragnarok, the army of the dead, led by the mistress of the underworld Hel, invades Midgard. The young warrior Skarin, the chosen one of the goddess Freya, stands in the way of dark plans.

A commendable, but not the most successful attempt by the British studio The Creative Assembly to create an action game about Vikings, nevertheless, it deserves a mention in the annals.

Vikings: Wolves of Midgard

Ragnarok, predicted by an ancient prophecy, has come and the giant jotuns have invaded the world of the living with the intention of destroying people and the gods of Asgard, but a mighty warrior stands in their way - the leader of the Wolves of Midgard clan.

Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice

Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth + Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria

The legendary JRPG games created by the tri-Ace studio tell the story of the approaching final battle on the eve of Ragnarok. The supreme god of the Vikings, Odin, sends his Valkyrie daughters (in the first part - Lenneth, in the second - Silmeria) to collect the souls of fallen warriors (Einherjar) to send to Valhalla.

It's not always the case that when Valkyries are mentioned in a Japanese game, there is a clear connection to the mythical warrior maidens, but in the case of these projects, the connection is clear. The first part is , the second is included in , which seems to hint...

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Among the many races of the famous The Elder Scrolls series of games, one of the most popular are the Nords (the fifth part takes place in the north). You don’t need to have several higher education degrees to notice their obvious connection with the topic.

The gameplay is to match - complete freedom of action in the huge open world of the northern province of the continent of Tamriel - Skyrim, which stands out for its harsh nature, mythical creatures, and also... reminiscent of Ancient Scandinavia in the minds of the people who inhabited it.

Total War Saga: Thrones of Britannia

The events of this global strategy with tactical battles in real time cover the period from 878 to 1066. AD and are dedicated to the Viking invasion of the British Isles and their struggle with the Anglo-Saxons and Gaels.

The creators of the famous Total War game series have already released a project dedicated to northern warriors - Medieval Total War Viking Invasion, but that was an addition, albeit a large-scale one, this time we have a completely independent project.

The Banner Saga (trilogy)

Stylized as a real saga of the North, the game tells about the mortal danger looming over the world. Stone monsters that have emerged from the depths of the earth threaten all living things, and in order to survive, people and varls have to unite to survive.

One of the best tactical games tops my personal top. The game world was invented by the wild imagination of the developers and, as often happens, the northerners are called here differently and even have their own mythology (although there are similarities between the local gods and the Ases), but the atmosphere is extremely authentic.
