Volgarr the Viking II is now available for Windows on GOG.com* and Steam and for consoles, offering an action platformer sequel to Volgarr the Viking from back in 2013, with the two games serving as sort of bookends for a Viking craze that fell in between. The Launch Trailer shows off what has and hasn't changed in the intervening decade-plus. Grab your horny helmet and read on for more:

Developed in partnership with Crazy Viking Studios, Volgarr the Viking II is a sequel 10 years in the making. The barbarian king Volgarr returns, a little older but no less ruthless. Featuring new and expansive worlds inspired by Norse mythology, players must slash, dash, and mash their way through waves of bloodthirsty enemies…lest they embark on a one-way trip to Valhalla.

Sporting the same unforgiving 1980s arcade style of challenge as the original, Volgarr the Viking II demands precision, as one false move leads to a brutal death. Players of the original game will feel right at home on this relentless voyage, while more modern gameplay features ease newer players into the savagery with a practice mode, optional checkpoints, save profiles, and unlimited continues. However, a secret world and boss await those who can master the game without these modern comforts.
