Description: Axes up! Bows drawn! Raise your horns! Trolls, kobolds and other mythical creatures have it in for the fortress of the Vikings – and these are exactly who you’re gonna beat up left and right in Viking Rage. Thanks to virtual reality, in this tower defence game with a twist you are in the middle of the action, which might even make a bearded raider cry! No use for fast clicking – you’ve got the controllers and with that the protection of your village in your hands, so go all out and Throw axes and bombs, Shoot with bow and arrows or crossbows, Play with the four elements & Surprise the intruders with traps
Review: I’m not ashamed to admit it, I enjoy playing tower defence games and while ‘Viking Rage’ isn’t one of the best, it is still an OK game. It looks OK and feels OK to play with a small range of good weapons, but nothing here stands out and that is this games biggest problem. Maybe it is the slower pace of the gameplay that does it, or how easy most of the 6 levels are, it just feels so…meh! I certainly wouldn’t want to pay £5.99 for this, but even grabbing it for half that price I feel will give you value for money, especially if you like tower defence games
