Vikings: Is the game as good as the TV show?

Vikings: Is the game as good as the TV show?

It may come as a surprise to hear that Vikings first hit our screens in 2013. Since its release, it’s gone on to become a longstanding show, adored by fans across the globe. But that’s not all, it can now be enjoyed on our computer screens.

It has also been crafted into an online game, featuring all of the key characters: Bjorn, Floki, Ragnar and Lagertha.

More about the TV Series

As the name suggests, this historical drama is based on real-life Viking tribes, commanded by the acclaimed Norse hero, Ragnar Lothbrok.

In this gripping TV show, Bjorn Ironside has many aspirations for the Kingdom of Kattegat, comprising ambitions of peace and success. Unfortunately, the fates have alternative plans for the new king in the shape of a grievous threat – Bjorn must face a resurgent, ruthless enemy head-on to turn his dreams into a reality.

Another of the key characters, Lagertha, has similar aspirations to lay her sword to rest and return to the peaceful life she once enjoyed. To combat the enemy forces, both Lagertha and Bjorn must join forces, rising to the challenge in true Viking fashion. Why? Because Vikings never surrender!

All in all, this prevalent show attracted an incredible 5 million P2P viewers in Season 1 alone, and it’s still going strong! Boasting a similar style to Game of Thrones, both the story and plot are well laid out, however, it’s the plot’s visionary depth that makes it one of TV’s most watchable shows to date.

The latest series, Series 6, was released in 2020 and comprises a total of 20 episodes. This is, unfortunately, the last series, but by no means due to popularity. Director Michael Hirst always planned to bring it to an end at this point. Thankfully Viking fans still have the slot game to enjoy!

More about the Game

When online games first came to light, the choice was fairly generic. Although an array of games were readily available, the offering was nothing like the enticing, engaging and fast-paced games we have access to today. The Vikings game is a fitting example of an action-packed, contemporary game, complete with realistic sound effects, enticing bonus rounds and more. For those wanting to check out the game, it’s possible on portals such as Gamble.xyz, which they say is one of the best casino guides for finding slot sites.

During gameplay, gaming fanatics can win in one of 243 ways. The game backdrop boasts an eerie representation of the Norwegian fields at night, with an equally eerie black crow as a companion. The lifelike characters and symbols allow for an immersive experience, whilst the extravagant soundtrack sets an energetic, adrenaline-fuelled tone. Due to these realistic game features alone, many gaming fans state this to be one of the best in the industry to be based on a popular, current-day television series yet.

New players can enjoy incentives such as no-deposit bonuses. Taking advantage of these will allow you them try the game right away.
