Gameplay

[edit]

Expeditions: Viking is set during the Viking Age. Players take the role of a clan chieftain (which they can design with character creator) and can become either conquerors, merchants, or diplomats.[3]

Release

[edit]

Expeditions: Viking was announced in May 2015.[4] In October 2016, the game was scheduled for release in the first quarter of 2017.[5] It was eventually released on April 27, 2017.[2]

Reception

[edit]

Expeditions: Viking received "mixed or average" reviews according to review aggregator Metacritic.[6]

Daniel Starkey of GameSpot summarized: "Viking lives in its atmosphere, so it's appreciated that most of the game is a spirited romp. For now, that experience is mangled by dozens of technical hiccups and anachronisms."[8]

Charalampos Papadimitriou of RPGamer said that "Viking isn't the most refined game, with limited camera control, repetitive graphics that lack detail, and a lack of high-production presentation. It nevertheless succeeds in immersing the player in its world through an intriguing main story focused on local politics and motivations and driven by realistic struggles and constraints."[3]

Ginny W. of Digitally Downloaded recommended the game to "anyone with a passing interest in tactical RPGs".[9]
