The Lost (Great) Vikings Again!   Supergamer
The best puzzle game that I've ever played, The Lost Vikings, has a sequel. And to clarify, it is a great sequel. But, I am going to more depth as to why I believe that The Lost Vikings II is a great puzzle game. Story Surprisingly enough, this game has a lot more dialogue than its predecessor due to the fact there's more characters. Of course that means more annoying humor that involves references and breaking the fourth wall. Now, the story is essentially the same with the vikings getting captured by the alien, Tomator. However, they're put up against a robot warden who, thanks to an convenient blackout, is stripped for its parts. Now upgraded the vikings sent off another adventure through time and space in hopes of getting home. Along the way they'll meet Fang the Wolf, Scorch the Dragon, and several people who the vikings would deem as incompetent. The story doesn't do so well, but the graphic makes a better effort. Graphics The Lost Vikings II has the same graphics as the first game. The sprites and their animations once again serve the game's cartoony style. There isn't much to talk about regarding the graphics, so let's move on to sound. Sound This game, like the first game, has a good soundtrack. But unfortunately like the first game,none of the soundtrack changes for each level. You only get the one soundtrack per era deal again. The sound once again is good, and the gameplay is again better. Gameplay The Lost Vikings II is a platformer with a huge emphasis on puzzles, but this time around the puzzles are more creative thanks to the new abilities. Now, the vikings still for the most part have their original abilities. Erik can know double jump, which he can use to break blocks above you. He is also the only character that can swim. Baleog still has a sword, but his bow has been replaced by a bionic arm. This lets him grab items from a distance, hit things from a distances, and use it as a grappling hook. Olaf can shrink to get into small space, and he can also fart to propel himself and break blocks below him. In addition to the vikings there is also two new characters: Fang the Wolf and Scorch the Dragon. Fang can jump up walls, and can attack with his claws. Scorch can fly up for a limited time by pressing the button repeatedly, and along with that he can also glide. As well, Scorch can attack enemies from a distance with his fireballs. Now, occasionally one or even two of the vikings will be replaced by these new characters, which makes solving puzzles even more exciting since you have to figure out how to use these characters together to solve the puzzles. Another change is that you have to collect three items and get them along with all three characters to the teleporter. I find this to be a little annoying to do at first but it grew on me. The Lost Vikings II in my eyes is the more exciting game of the Lost Vikings series. The addition of two new characters helps to add depth to the game. As well, the new abilities help to make the puzzles in this game to be even more creative. However, the sound and visuals are the same, but that little inconvenience is uplifted by the great gameplay. Like its predecessor I can recommend this game to anyone looking for a great puzzle game.
