Vikings snap to horizontal lanes as they fight through environments, simplifying the chore of lining up swings with an opponent's skull. In Viking Squad, you'll brave voyages to loot neighboring enemies and heap treasure at the feet of your village's Jarl, but each trip gives access to different locations and items based on how well your squad performs. There are comparisons to be made, sure – both are side-scrolling multiplayer brawlers with leveling characters – but Slick Entertainment has added a few elements to the brawler formula that might make Viking Squad feel distinct. At first glance, you might dismiss Viking Squad as a Castle Crashers imitator and carry on with your day.
