The Lost Vikings

The Lost Vikings – a classic puzzle-platformer of brains and top-tier teamwork.

In The Lost Vikings, you don’t just need to think fast—you need to think smart. Three Vikings—Erik the Swift, Baleog the Fierce, and Olaf the Stout—have been kidnapped by the intergalactic tyrant Tomator and must find their way home through a series of clever and dangerous levels packed with traps, enemies, and obstacles.

But these three Vikings aren’t like other platforming heroes. Each has a unique ability, and only by combining their unique skills can you overcome the complex puzzles and make it safely through the levels:

  • 🏃‍♂️ Erik can run, jump, and break through walls
  • 🛡️ Olaf can use his shield to block attacks and glide like a parachute
  • ⚔️ Baleog can attack enemies with swords and bows

The game is a brilliant blend of platforming and puzzle-solving, where logical thinking and planning are just as important as quick reflexes. You control all three characters one at a time and must guide them safely through each stage—and they all have to survive, or the mission is lost.

The early stages gently introduce the mechanics, but later levels demand real ingenuity, timing, and teamwork among your Vikings.
