The Lost Vikings on the SNES is a charming and surprisingly tricky puzzle-platformer. You switch between three Vikings – Erik the Swift, Baleog the Fierce, and Olaf the Stout – each with unique abilities essential to reaching the end of each level. It's got a great sense of humor, the pixel art is lovely, and figuring out the solutions is so satisfying. However, some later levels get incredibly difficult, and the lack of password saves might frustrate some players.
Very charming, clever, and cool game. But also really tedious and frustrating
A fun little game that was requested, you play as a group of three vikings who are abducted by aliens and then have to find your way out of the different levels that you get thrown into, getting every viking to the end, using all of their skills.
You have a short and fast guy who can do really high jumps, a large fat one who bears a shield that can block anything and can even be used to float down and a muscular one with a sword to smash things and enemies.
Combined, their skills are needed to progress through the increasingly difficult stages to operate switches and buttons to unlock the exist to the next stage. All the while attempting to survive to the end.
The game has a cartoon design that works with the fun sense of humour this game gives out. Certainly worth checking out if you're interested in a fun puzzle-platformer to take up your time.

Joguei com meus amigos bêbado em 1 tarde. Não lembro ao certo o que estávamos fazendo, gritos espaçados e um QUE PORRA QUE TÁ TOCANDO 10/10 jogo todo natal com os manos.
Blizzard needs to man up and make Lost Vikings 3 already
Super puzzle game, too bad no more game like thise one are being made. The Genesis version is inferior to the SNES by a good margin but still recommendable.
Always garbage on my team, always carries on the enemy team, neither fun to play nor play against. A very poor addition to the HotS roster.
Efectivamente son Vikingos, pero creo que están menos perdidos que yo
fun puzzle game!!!
Haven't played since I was real young, so my rating is purely based on my memories of how much I liked it then...
I appreciate the concept and perhaps it would've been a lot of fun to play back when it was released but having to reset the level every time one of your vikings dies is such a clunky mechanic. They could have made checkpoints of sorts. I get that the pacing is supposed to be slow but I just think it plays far worse than a regular platformer.
Fun but it can be kinda limiting in what you can do, especially with all the option you get in Lost Viking 2.
Gostei bem mais do que achei que gostaria, viu? Apesar de ter achado o humor inepto e o visual não muito agradável, tenho que dar o braço a torcer para o puzzle design. Os puzzles são todos bem interessantes e usam muito bem os três personagens. Nota especial para a progressão da dificuldade, que achei na medida certa, sempre deixando o desafio num nível agradável.
