A compilation of these little conversations is available on Youtube and definitely worth your time to view. It’s quite fun and helps to alleviate the frustration of failure a little bit. At first, they complain of deja vu, then of being too tired of the scenery, and finally they address the player directly, and accuse them of having too much time on their hands. Perhaps the funniest schtick is when the Vikings discuss the players’ failures to complete a level when they respawn. The Lost Vikings is no exception, and from the very beginning, the bickering and other interactions between the Vikings will put a smile on your face. Communication is the key here, as it is in so many other highly cooperative games.Īnother hallmark of Blizzard games is comedic elements. It takes a bit of getting used to, and it seems that playing together makes some puzzles easier and others can be a bit more difficult to coordinate. Control of each individual Viking can be swapped on the fly as needed. In two player mode, two of the three Vikings can move at the same time, each controlled by a different player.
In single player mode, you control one Viking at a time, and switch back and forth as needed in order to advance. It’s a bit different than you might expect. You may be wondering where to co-op comes in.
