During today's Guerilla Collective 2024 showcase, Digital Eclipse revealed Völgarr the Viking II, an ultra-difficult action platformer for the Switch landing on 6th August 2024.
Inspired by the likes of Ghosts 'n Goblins and Rastan, Völgarr the Viking II is a direct sequel to the 2013 original from Crazy Viking Studios, boasting rock-solid action gameplay in which you'll need to jump, duck, slide, and dodge with absolute precision to survive and defeat your foes.
The game also comes with a few modern touches to make things a bit more palatable for newcomers, including a practice mode, checkpoints, save profiles, and unlimited continues. However, as pointed out by Crazy Viking Studios CEO Kristofor Durrschmidt, Völgarr the Viking II is "a game where, if you want the ultimate experience, you'll need to really master what it asks of you". In other words, then, if you play the game without any help, you'll unlock a lot more.
The original Völgarr the Viking is available via the Switch eShop for $9.99 / £8.99, so if you want a taste of what might be in store with the sequel, then be sure to give it a whirl. In the meantime, let's check out the key features of the new game:
