Viking Command app review: fight for your way of life

Introduction

We've got a high-paced and intense game that will leave you fighting for your way of life. Viking Command is an app that can be played on your iPod touch, iPad, and iPhone and features war on all sides of you. There are enemies circling you and threatening your way of living and it’s up to the leader Sven Stoutbeard, who just so happens to be an amateur bodybuilder, to take control. The problem is he's rather vain and therefore controlling his army isn't really a concern of his. Instead your help is needed to take control of the armies and fight the enemies.

Your Battle Your Way

Because Sven Stoutbeard is failing miserably as a leader you get to step in and take control. With that said you get to manage the battle and your army the way you want. There are six maps and 50 battles in this epic game. It's not just the enemies that are threatening your army; you also need to watch out for tidal waves and lightning that can really throw a wrench in your battle plans. The app supports the Game Center which means there is the Leaderboard to climb and you can earn achievements. Don’t forget to brag about all your top scores by sharing them on Facebook.

In the app's most recent update there were a number of bug fixes to ensure smoother gameplay. The game is free to play but there is a token pack available as an in-app purchase of $0.99. The app has a very high 4.5 out of five stars from customers who seem to be quite pleased with this offering.

 

The Gameplay Experience

Launch the app to view the main map, which acts as your main menu. A stats screen appears in the bottom left hand side of the screen and gives you a look at how you’re doing. You start out with a set number of gold coins and the goal is, of course, to earn more. You will notice most of the locations on the map are locked and this is because you have to clear one before you can move on to the next.

The best iPad apps for fighting games

The first time you play you will be able to go through “Basic Training;” this is basically a hands-on tutorial. I find this to be incredibly helpful and fun at the same time. It gives you a feel for the controls so you aren’t struggling through the game.
