Space Vikings
The Lost Vikings was a classic puzzle-platforming game that first came out for the Super NES in the 90s. It was praised for its clever and challenging puzzle designs, humor, and distinct visual presentation. It was ported over to various console systems since launch and has now made its way over to PC via the Blizzard Arcade Collection in celebration of the developer's 30th anniversary.
In this game, three Vikings get abducted by the evil Tomator to become attractions in an intergalactic zoo. Erik the Swift, Baleog the Fierce, and Olaf the Stout will need to overcome 37 levels spread across six worlds to get back home. Each one has his own unique skills and abilities that are needed to solve puzzles and platforming challenges to progress further.
There are two game modes to choose from. The first is the standard solo gameplay and the other is a three-player co-op mode that allows you and your friends to control each character separately. If you do decide on the former, playing the game can get a bit clunky and tedious given how you need to control and manage all three Vikings yourself.
Work as a team
Overall, if you've never played the original before, The Lost Vikings is a nice introduction to one of the most popular and influential games of the 90s. If you're a returning fan, get ready for a good dose of nostalgia as you experience it all over again via its definitive edition, complete with some extra goodies and even bonus levels to boot. Highly recommended.
