The Lost Vikings Critic Reviews

A surprisingly good remake of an unsung classic.

A thoroughly enjoyable action puzzler that will definitely tax your brain with some of the challenges that the original level designers created.

Unfortunately, the difficulty never lets up in the thirty-seven levels.

Blizzard deserves a round of hearty applause for adding a save system to the game, which makes it much more appropriate for portable gaming.

A puzzle game that will exercise your brain.

One of the best hand-held games currently going... If an action-puzzle game with old-school sensibilities sounds like your cup of grog, The Lost Vikings is definitely worth a raid on your local games shoppe.

It will take time to learn each characters special abilities but the whole game offers some great site gags and warped humor.

I found myself going back to the game an hour after turning it off and saying, "That's it, I quit! I can't take this anymore!" Its unique, strangely appealing gameplay style is secretly addictive.

Simple and addictive.

The lack of any sort of time trial, multiplayer, or randomized mode is disappointing, however, especially if you're one of the many who played this game to death nearly a decade ago.

For a game that's more than a decade old, The Lost Vikings looks and plays great.

One of the best single-player puzzle games, but there's no excuse for the absence of a time trial or multiplayer option.

The puzzles are still fun and challenging, but the constant switching of characters can wear on your patience.

A fun puzzler with interesting characters. The graphics are clear and colorful but not updated from the game's original version.

This is a welcome conversion of Bliozzard's cherished 16bit strategy actioner and well worth a punt for those who like to challenge their grey matter as well as their reflexes.

There's a good deal of trial and error involved with The Lost Vikings, an aspect of the game that may seem tedious to some people. But there is a suitably addictive challenge awaiting gamers the first time through.
