14 DAY TRIAL // War of the Vikings is the new melee-focused combat game from developer Fatshark and publisher Paradox Interactive and the two companies are delivering some screenshots that show off the mechanics of the game and its visual style.
Gamers will be able to choose to be a Norseman or a Saxon in the IX and the X century, battling enemies with both close quarters and ranged weapons.
The game is using many of the mechanics seen in War of the Roses, but the team says that it will add more customization and options linked to squads.
All weapons, heraldry and armor are based on the actual history of England when it was assaulted by northern tribes.
War of the Vikings is set to launch on the PC in the first quarter of 2014.
