Drakkar Crew

extremely clunky. if you are ok with geting stuck doing actions for half a second to a full second and your inputs inbetween dont register, and walking around avoiding the 5+ enemies swarming you while you wait for your cooldowns cause if you stand to hit them they will murder you, you might be ok with it, cause dont let it fool you, you have allies but they are dumber than dumb and even if they are better geared than the enemy they will die extremely easily even on normal. story is basicaly non-enxistent but it tries to swindle you in some choices which makes sence in the setting, enemy has some variety but extremely grindy as you need to gear yourself and all your allies, plus the boat (and i hate how you cant sell your previous boat so you always have to pay full price for the next one), as the drops you get never give you gear close to your level, and you level up so fking slow, and you cant even respec in case you regret a skill you chose while testing it out, so you either sacrifice time trying to level to get that 1 skill as soon as possible with sub.par gameplay, or you waste time leveling some more as you try and get the other skills you might want after geting a few "usefull" ones first.

if you want to try it out i recomend on a HEAVY discount. you will be paying it back in grind.

I like men. I like Vikings. I would like more character customization.

Horrible Translation, clunky feeling combat, severe lack of interesting skills and gear... I'm not sure why, but I adore this game. It has just enough charm to make up for its many short comings and I will recommend this title, especially if they keep updating regularly.

Playing on the hardest difficulty, AI companions don't seem very good ( I tell them to stand in formation, because they lack the ability to fight as a team ). The skeleton boss has a spear and shield, and my main character seems to specialise in using 2x 1handed weapon fighting ( axe + sword ), so I'm a Viking pin cushion against the boss.

The party wiped for a third time, and I did not want to retry the entire level. AI companions are supposed to drink health potions, when they are low on health, but they don't do that, and I can't be bothered to figure out why? Poison damage has high lethality, which limits move-sets to heavy attack+ dodge, and not taking any damage. I'm constantly picking my AI team mates off the floor, but 2 KOs and they seem down for the count ( plus a chance of permanent wounds ).

The game warrants a controller ( like a side-scrolling beat-em-up ). The controls are adequate, but having to command crew, and fight at the same time just feels like a hassle ( do you really want to keep telling your archer to use "Rapid Shot", when being swarmed by a sea of zombies? ).

Viking/Norse theme, with aesthetic, cartoony visuals.
Party management but not complicated.
Ship travel and combat, with day and night cycles.
A fantastic game, but there are some bugs.
Also the game is short and the language and dialog is weird/funny. (obviously the game was made by non-native English- speakers.
The game could use some QoL improvements, but overall, and for the price, I quite enjoyed it.

EDIT: Tentatively making this positive. A dev reached out to me to show a major update currently in beta testing, so I'm making this positive for the very quick response and the fact that my concerns might be answered here shortly. I have to give the devs credit here, I appreciate them being public facing and responding to the player base.

This is a strange game. The bones are here for a good "Pirates" follow-up, with vikings in a fictional Norway-type setting instead of the colonial Caribbean. Some systems seem solid and well thought-out. Seems like there's a lot of content. But the systems are pretty shallow. No 2H weapons. Only two classes available to the player, but quite a few follower types. It feels incomplete, like it was half-finished, polished, and then maybe, kind of, abandoned. As far as I know, it is not officially abandoned, but development seems very slow. Check on this later, don't buy it, unless there are major updates forthcoming.

игра про пиратов, так ещё и викинги
надеюсь будете дальше развивать и не забросите!

Incredible game, the Animations are decent, the combat is tight and I'm looking forward to more games made by the devs. If there's ever a proper reboot of the Feudalism game series, this is it really.

I would've written more but I'd rather play more Drakkar Crew.

Very interesting beat 'em up game with some rpg elements and a kind of open-world.
Combos are clean, mechanics are fun and theres still stuff to add as we can see in the road map.
Will update my review once I have time to explore it properly.

Great beat-em-up with level progression/skills + equip + quests + exploration + crew management + cash/loot. What's not to like here? Nice art and sound design, smooth gameplay and animations. I enjoy playing on hardest difficulty as this really brings up the actual management aspects into play. Highly recommended.
