Viking/Norse style games?

[Nonagon]

Anyone know of a good game with some Norse Mythology(and not Too Human)? An older game is fine, I just want to lob off some heads with an axe, literally or otherwise, as a badass viking.

Dusk of Gods, King Of Dragon Pass and maybe Beowulf.

How old are you prepared to go? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valhalla_(video_game).

There's this third person action adventure game that was released in the early 00's that sucked called Rune.

Beyond that, I have no clue, most Norse themed gaming is pretty damn bad.

Viking: Battle For Asgard.

1.Rune (Hack and slash) its kinda old but still nice !
2.Loki (RPG) a combination of Aztec, Egyptian, Greek and Norse mythologies

Heimdall was awesome - the axethrowing remains one of my favourite moments I played it on my Amiga 500 back in the day:

The game's homepage with screenshots etc

Edit: AAAAAArgh at the silly names given in Wikipedia that are impossible to link ...

What about mount & blade ?

It might be more focused on knights etc, but i think there are some vikings in there also.

Check it out, pretty cool game.

The Lost Vikings?

That game was awesome reincarnated.

 

[Kyuu]

I, uh... yeah. I'm not quite sure what that means.

 

[Deleted member 53669]

It means "Awesome happiness fun time i love you".


Translated into engRish anyways.

Ragnarok!

It's bloody ancient, but I played it for hours on end back in the early 90's.

It's a roguelike game, and a pretty good one at that. I had a lot of fun with it.

Actually re-played it a year or two ago out of sheer nostalgia.

*EDIT*indeed, impossible to link...

If you get tired of lopping of heads you can always try S.A.G.A: Rage of the Vikings.
Though the Elves are more Tolkienesqe than Norse and its pretty bizarre towards the end its quite a good game.

If you want a strategy game, give 3DO's Hammer of the Gods a look, too.

The predecessor to the Heroes of Might and Magic games, it is truly an excellent title.

It might be more focused on knights etc, but i think there are some vikings in there also.

That game is as fun as hell. Nords are in there. Not really a game based on Norse mythology, but you get to wield axes nonetheless.

I must tip you all about Celtic Kings!! (www.haemimontgames.com)

It's one of my favorite RTS games of all time. It's not really focused on vikings, but the most awesome unit is a Viking Lord.
