Trial by Viking

Trial by Viking is an adventure in which you serve as an agent of Odin, exploring cavernous dungeons in search of treasure. You race through traps and fight blood-thirsty kobolds with axes as Loki’s obstacles stand in your way. Specialized equipment, friends and hidden secrets help you progress through 130 areas across the nine worlds.

Explore and overcome

Keys, switches, gears, air vents, ropes, puzzles and hidden areas present obstacles throughout the dungeons. Special equipment can open access to new and secret areas, while character points let you specialize your stats. As you advance, you can dash through enemies, jump off walls and swing through the air with a grappling hook.

You can also morph into a polar bear, control a flying Valkyrie through mazes of hazards, and ride a great owl’s claws like a zip line. Power-ups include mini Viking, metal Viking and time slow. The game also features occasionally crazy ragdoll physics.

Battles and choices

Trial by Viking features 27 boss battles. You can sail a Viking long boat while fighting orcs with axes, and narrative decisions steer your fate toward one of two final boss battles.
