Barely. It was just a matter of time as two giants were fast approaching to my wall. \r\rWhat I like: \rDifficulty curve. It moves up gradually until it hits hard mode on Level 20 or so.\rGraphics. The cute style matches well with the game and reminds me of Warcraft a bit.\rMusic. Sound effects were good but the music is better. It goes well with the forest background, too.\rFun. I had a great time with the game and I'd play it again if a post compo version with more stuff ever gets made.\r\rWhat I dislike:\rNot much. I haven't played it enough to test if there's imbalance between large and small vikings, but I'll try to go with a "small but plenty" tactic on my next play. Only after that I can judge if the "only one viking to fight with another" can be exploited.\r\rOverall: This is a solid game. 5 stars imo. And this is not because you reviewed my game with care, this is because Vikings is really a good game. :)"},{"author_name":"uprightpath","author_uid":"10562","time":"Apr 21, 2016 @ 12:27am","epoch":1461198120,"text":"I was unable to run; please include the required version of Java (As in which it was coded for.)"},{"author_name":"djfariel","author_uid":"52022","time":"Apr 23, 2016 @ 6:31am","epoch":1461392760,"text":"Moved a little slow, but still a pretty decent entry.
