Volgar the Viking - Controller Throwing Fun

Volgar the Viking is akin to my personal favorite game, Dark Souls. In it takes a patience, perseverance, and a certain degree of masochism. Which isn't a bad thing, lots of good games are punishing; it makes success within the game that much more rewarding!

I've spent a little over 2 hours playing this game, and if you check out my youtube channel you can find me taking over 1 hour to beat the first world..with many a moment of rage. But its a sort of game that makes you want to beat it, because of how badly it's beating you. Kind of like an older brother. Or my dad. 

That being said, it's not for everyone. Hopefully you can make a judgement on the game by the short clip above, or maybe go watch a playthrough and take notes.

Things of Note about this game:

You are married to your jump-arc. Once you jump forward, there is no taking it back. I hope you brought sufficient dowry because you'll be a polygamist by the end of the game with how many fucking jumps you didn't mean to make.

This game almost requires a warm-up. For me at least, you can't boot this game up on the weekends and then immediately start beating your dad while your older brother watches in anguished horror because he knows he's next. As you can see in the above clip, if you don't make a few trial runs first, you'll lack that 'in-the-zone' control you get playing the game for a sufficient amount of time. Treat this period of time like you would the calm before the police arrive.

Lastly, to the people who play with controllers: don't fucking throw it. The amount of rage you will build while playing this game is enough to easily squash the skull of a fully grown male adult, it will surely break your flimsy plastic controller.
