I think we can all agree that we've appeased the gods enough so far with our war efforts. MOBA with Vikings? Sign us up! (Picture: Hi-Rez Studios) Whether you choose the clan of the wolf, boar, bear, snake or even the dragon, each will provide advantages in your quest. The game puts you in charge of one of a range of clans, each with their own skills and strengths. Obviously you're not the only one seeking your fortune in these promising new lands, and you must race to establish your foothold against other clans, and use diplomacy to work out compromise, or do things the good old way and dispose of them. The natives may be friendly to you and your budding colonies, but it depends on their temper at the time. Northgard gives you the task of colonising a new and mysterious land, filled with magic, looming threats, powerful relics, and maybe even a giant or two. As if a longboat of marauders was bad enough, they've also got a pet Kraken. The Vikings obviously got the best end of the deal and can summon Valkyries, Trolls, solid gold boars, giants, dragons and even a Kraken to burn, bash, and fling your enemies to distant shores. The game was a step away from previous titles in the series, and traded out historical accuracy for a range of mythical beasties. The giants from Jotun are a force to be reckoned with, and you can see them at their full potential in Age of Mythology - and send them to battle, and ultimately squash some puny Egyptians or Greeks. It's one big showcase of 'look how great I am, you should've let me into Valhalla' and is an absolute joy to play with it's beautifully hand drawn art, and intriguing delve through Norse mythology. Jotun tells the tale of Thora who unfortunately performed that taboo, and must now travel across the realms defeating various enemies, including some pretty deadly giants. Or perhaps, there are a few things to be done. It's a bit of a kicker if it happens, but there's nothing you can do. However, that's all going to count for nought if you perform the ultimate Viking faux pas - dying in an inglorious manner.
With a lifetime of battling, brawling, scrapping and skirmishing under the belt of any hopeful helmsmen, there's plenty of chances to prove your worth. Giving any prospective plunderers the rare opportunity to go toe-to-toe with some Far-Eastern champions, For Honor gives players the rare chance to exercise the art of war in a a unique setting, and take some bloodthirsty Northmen on the rampage with the promise of fame, fortune, and a spot in Odin's longhouse. We're looking at Ubisoft's medieval melee brawler For Honor. We're kicking things off and sailing straight into battle by pitting our viking vanguard against unlikely foes - some samurai.
