Lost and Forgotten

Hi there! Today I will talk about a game which, well, is awesome, yet not known by most people. I'm quite sure everyone heard about Blizzard Entertainment, mostly from games like WarCraft, StarCraft and Diablo. But I am also sure that very few people know the games that have preceded the mentioned title. Most probably, the series of the game "The Lost Vikings" were not so known by most people. If you haven't heard about this title, let me tell you how the story goes: three Vikings, each of them with different abilities are captured by an orc (character of Warcraft) called Tomator. They manage to escape by passing through a portal, which takes them to different eras of the world (Stone Age, Ancient Egypt, a factory) so that they could get back on Tomator's ship to return in their time.
In the second game, they get additional power-ups, (the shield-man can get smaller; the weaponmaster gets a bionic arm instead of a bow and the one that jumps can breath underwater and gets a turbo boost while in air. Also, two new characters appear: a werewolf that can jump, climb walls and claw the enemies and a dragon, which can fly (for a short period), glide and shoot fireballs. The gameplay is addictive, since in the second game you change through characters after you obtain the dragon. Also, another fun fact: in World of WarCraft, the three Vikings end up in a place called Swamp of Sorrows. The player can talk to them, but they will not interact with him. Also, in the second game, one of the Vikings tell the others that he was in "Swamp of Sorrows. You should have been there, it were a lot of green-skin creatures with fangs and weird hair!". He was referring to the orcs. As for myself, I don't want to make you believe it is an amazing game that needs to be played and if you don't play it you don't have reasons to live. It's just, I'll let you decide:

 The Lost Vikings I 

 The Lost Vikings II

 



To be fair, it doesn't have such amazing graphics, since it was made in 1997. The gameplay hasn't changed at all in both games. Still, if you want better graphics, you shall try the "Norse by Norsewest - Return of the Lost Vikings" the same game like The Lost Vikings 2, but it is animated (you see how characters talk), but maybe a little too animated. Fang, the werewolf looks more like a Chihuahua than a wild beast! Though, it's graphics are better and you can hear the characters talk.

I hope you liked the review. Remember, if you want to make a review of a game, just subscribe and I will do it as fast as I can. Also, since the Hallow's End (or Halloween for the ones that are not playing Wow) is coming, I have an idea of making a review about a creepy game (most probably Slender-Man) and yet a surprise game that no one would ever think about. So until next time, have a nice day!
