Vikings II Reviews

by Smokinbandit28

I was drawn to the game because of the art style and I generally enjoy “bullet hell” style games. At first the game seemed like it would progressively ramp up the challenge, but after unlocking Tre whose secondary fire basically hits everything on the screen the challenge goes right out the window and you get her really early on. Aside from the challenge becoming nearly non existent due to an op character, you watch an optional ad after every level that triples your earnings which makes upgrading trivial, there’s premium currency with zero uses and two “high tier” characters that the game wants you to pay a subscription to unlock which as I said is pointless when you have Tre.

All in all it looks nice, but quickly becomes repetitive and easy with no incentive past level 200.

Start off by saying, this rating is solely for the VIP subscription. Game play isn’t ground breaking but it’s good and graphical style is nice.

Pros: free for 3 days!
Sorry, best thing about it.

Cons: ADs don’t go away “Removes Full Screen ADs”. Yeah? When? That’s the biggest reason for the 2 stars. Some may call it nitpicking but if you offer a service and don’t fully do the service, then your left with an incomplete service. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Of the rip, “unique characters” don’t feel too unique but that could just be a personal preference. “Ice ball” vs “Ice Arrow” difference? One of them pierces. How valuable is a slowing effect in a game that has auto run? More effective to fill the screen with arrows than slow the enemy down. Again, just personal opinion I guess.

Diamonds, can’t see a purpose. Watch ADS (I should have to if I’m VIP Tho!) get the cash and upgrade your character. Stomp through lvls. Every 2 mins of watching ADS gives you the ability to crush 5-10 Lvs without worrying about dying. Oh ran out of energy? Watch ADS. 🤷🏽‍♂️ ADS op. 30 secs for continuous play. Seriously, ADS OP.

I came in really wanting to like this game. The art is pleasing, the gameplay is simple and should be fun.

I get that the adds are optional, but here’s the thing—they don’t play at all. I can’t get any kind of power ups. And in a game where leveling up gets expensive stupidly fast that’s kind of an issue. Then we have the fact that there’s almost no challenge—enemies are wildly predictable and your damage is so high that you Can one-shot most typical enemies by the time the starting character is level 14 or so.

Yeah, I think I’m going back to Bad North. I’d be happy to try this game again after some balance updates.

Cool art, fun gameplay, no challenge. I expected the game to ramp up in difficulty, but it never does. I guarantee everyone can get through every level in the game back to back without ever dying. It feels really monotonous because of that. If you want a challenge, never upgrade your archers. You’ll get Tre at lvl60 and that’s it for the game. She’s too overpowered to ever use anyone else. I was able to go through most levels with her just standing in the middle of the screen without ever moving.

The game is well made beside a tiny bug displaying the gold amount when you pass a billion. But when you reach last level (300) you’re bound to do it over and over again. Can’t go back and play another. Finally the in app purchases and typical virtual currency methods are so annoying, and the game is entirely tuned toward that. I haven’t paid for that game (not even ads cause apparently videos are not working), and I probably would have if it was an upfront payment and it was tuned to be fun on the long run rather than frustrating for a few days. Sad they chose this model because the technical aspect is pretty good and the graphics are looking good too.

Really fun game with beautiful graphics and fun gameplay. My only program is the progression. Literally the ONLY thing you do to progress is upgrade your hero and the upgrade entails just a damage boost and maybe a few more bullets every few levels. My suggestion: let upgrading be more engaging by enabling the player to choose what they want (upgrade damage per bullet, increase bullets per shot, increase special ability occurrence, add an active ability, increase occurrence of the TNT barrels, etc.). The progression system is far too bland for me to stay playing the game and I’m not sure if this game is having me come back day after day.

I like the game. I like the art. It’s a fairly easy game with some challenge as well.

Issue 1: I can’t watch the ads. Whenever I press the button to play an add, nothing happens. I’ve closed all apps, shut and turned my phone back on, pressed and swiped the ad buttons... nothing.

Issue 2: I’m willing to spend a little bit for a one time purchase of the game but a monthly fee for something that is self-contained is greedy and predatory behavior. I’ve paid the asking monthly price of this game for a one time purchase of ‘essential’ apps like Calendars 5.

Really good game overall and made very well. But I’ve noticed with each update it seems less enjoyable.

At one point you could upgrade damage per shot and rate of fire and maybe something else, but now it’s just damage. I think this was to stop players from getting too powerful (which was an issue) but I feel there must be a better way.

I’m hoping the creators can give the players a more enjoyable progression without the original problem of being overpowered.

I don’t think I died once in the 200+ levels I beat before leaving a review.
There’s potential here, but it’s such a strange game tbh. Each level is ridiculously short, and more often than not you won’t see the enemies due to your insane damage.
With the ability to make money worth more money by investing money, you’ll be inflating cash very quickly. This allows upgrades to be much easier to pay for. Not to mention 3x cash power ups, the 3x cash ad after most stages and the bonus possible (x10)x2 coins if you watch two ads and get lucky. You could leave a short boss round with 400 million coins.
The game lacks challenge. It’s too easy. After stage 200 you lose any incentive to go further. The unlocked character at 200 also doesn’t fit the gameplay at all. It’s an orbital close range ability, meaning attacks that rotate millimeters away from the character. You’re better off using one of the earlier characters. They’re not released to you in order of strength.
Never paid the subscription, couldn’t see the purpose of investing in something I’ll uninstall shortly after “beating it”.
But like, I kind of enjoyed it? And maybe once it gets a few updates I might come back.

Originally I was looking for a simple game that I won’t get addicted to, that I would download for a week and enjoy it while it’s fun. That’s what this game is. If you don’t care for getting invested in a full game with intense combat and a good plot line and you just want some entertainment I’d say this game is perfect. But I understand that some people are going to get easily bored by this game as it is not challenging for them and doesn't offer much incentive to keep playing. If you are that person, don’t get this game. I appreciate that the ads are optional, my only feedback to the developers would be to add more to the game. This seems like a lite version or unfinished, and if you’re gonna offer payment deals, I don’t think the two extra characters are worth it.

I love the graphics. The characters you can use are cool. The power ups are also great! I am stumped at the boars running. Not sure how to defeat them other than the TNT. Hoping to figure this out later in the game. The monsters you attack have great artistry too! The main concern is that there are multiple buttons (one type, video extra reward buttons) that do not work in the game. I have been playing this since I saw it on VikingsII Store. Keep making great games! You are a great game company from what I’ve seen. Would give this five stars, but when I have access to internet, I enjoy extra rewards tied into games.

by Elizmb123

So I love this game but the ads aren’t working for me (not usually an issue, I know) but this means I can never revive or gain extra currency, and I can’t open the wagon of fortune. Please developers help me solve this? Thanks
Edit: because of this I also cannot watch ads for more energy so I’m kind of at a dead end until I get more energy. I’ve only been playing for like 15 minutes but I really like this game and want to keep playing it.

by Harveyplease

The game is fun and mindless. Not terribly complicated which makes it somewhat enjoyable because it’s not very challenging. Life is already filled with difficulties so it’s kinda relaxing that you can play a game that’s simple and easy to win. BUT I can’t seem to watch the ad videos to either gain more gold or energy. Also I’ve noticed that the gold that you do win doesn’t always add to your balance, which is annoying. Conclusion: it’s a nice little game, but you may get bored after awhile.

by ZrSyX

I was curious how this game would get harder and progress and sure enough each level and boss has been harder. Then you have to upgrade hero’s and weapons etc. Also the ad scheme is one where you choose if you want to watch ads. You choose for a revive, for more coins, etc. I think there are toooo many ad options (pay to play almost) BUT it’s surprising how non-annoying it is when it’s ads by choice.

by Anghfj

Just want to start out by saying I usually don’t leave reviews, but this game definitely deserves one. It’s challenging, fun, and has lots of content! Also the ads are optional so you don’t have to spend more time watching ads then playing the game! The art style is unique and really brings some individuality to the game! There are lots of characters and they are all viable! I’m looking forward to new content and I think it would be a great idea to maybe add quests or something for characters and loot!

by Sora593

This game is actually really awesome however at a certain point once unlock and leveling up tyr it starts to become very easy. I feel like tyr should probably be moved further down the line of unlockable characters don’t get me wrong I’m not complaining about progression in the game I just feel like tyr makes it a bit too easy.

by TheFourLeafs

In my opinion, This game is amazing! I spend hours playing and I don’t even realize the time unless I check it. This is definitely a good time killer as well as a good game in general. Awesome bosses, enemies, and characters. I would 100% recommend this game to people who are having trouble finding a game they love because this can definitely become your new favorite game.

by Roloroyce

I was just looking for a small game that was simple and engaging when I was bored say on a bus or train commuting to work, and this game is it! Engaging art style, love the environment and enemies, and the only possible downside is that the boss fights are too short to soak in just how awesome most of the bosses are!

I would love to see a beast codex or something so I can go and look at all the various enemy tutors and the bosses as well

by DragonMaster294

This game is really fun to play. At first, when I saw the add button, I thought it would be one of those games where you have more adds then actual playing time, but no. This game doesn’t force you to watch adds, but you have the choice to if you want extra stuff. The artwork is really well made, and i overall love this game. I feel like these types of games should be made more

by Roofattack

The art really turned me on to the game, so that’s why I adore it, but really I don’t understand the bad reviews.. The ads are all completely optional for the extra rewards, which is especially nice, and the levels all seem so well made, with both similar and new enemies. I have not reached the higher levels yet, so I cannot confirm nor deny the repetitive boss fight in the 220 level range, (I believe that is what it is.) but what I have seen so far, I absolutely enjoy.
