'Viking Vengeance' Community Contest Lets You Customize Your Own Enemy Boss

by Rainier on Aug. 21, 2020 @ 12:00 a.m. PDT

Viking Vengeance is a narrative-driven rogue-lite dungeon crawler in which you use the power of the Gods to stop the Templar Oppression.

Viking Vengeance is an Action RPG with Gods and rogue-lite elements. Inspired by norse mythology the game takes place in an alternate history with many twists and new mechanics within a lowpoly cartoonish world.  Turn into avatars of Gods during battles and wield Thor’s hammer, use Loki's mischief skills or Odin's power to crush your enemies.

It all began as a trembling flame that turned into a full blown conflict between the two faiths. Seeing no other way to stop the unnecessary bloodshed, the Templars acted as ambassadors and signed a peace treaty with the vikings. Years passed and the Dark Ages began bringing hunger, famine, plague and violence. The common people believed that the peace treaty with the heathens unleashed God's Wrath.They started protests throughout the kingdoms and soon enough the Templars were arrested and the peace treaty voided. One Templar Knight managed to escape.

The last Templar went on a quest to find the Holy Grail. His only wish was to put an end to the Dark Ages and heal the world. Through his perseverance he managed to find the Holy Grail, put an end to the peace treaty and be proclaimed Emperor by the people.Through this new position and with the aid of the Holy Grail, he restored the Templars’ Order, this time as a military force with the purpose of eradicating all the heathens and avoiding a new Dark Age.

Witnessing the unnecessary bloodshed of innocent people, a Sergeant has a change of heart and turns his back on his fellow Crusaders during his Teuton Knight Initiation process.

Trying to reconnect with your people, from whom you were taken as a child, and to put an end to the Templar oppression, you will rediscover your original Gods and you will be harnessing their powers. You will find out the legend of an ancient weapon that could change everything.

Lowpoly Interactive are offering you the unique opportunity to become an Enemy Boss in our upcoming ARPG. Get the chance to leave your personal mark on Viking Vengeance by becoming a living part of it.

Enter the contest and help us create a character with your preferred weapon, gear and powers.  Your chosen avatar will wreak their wrath upon other players, your name forever etched upon their memories!

3 winners will be selected randomly. We’ll work with you to customize an epic Enemy Boss that will appear in the game to challenge all the players. 

During your journey in the Vikings’ world you will come across different Idol statues of Gods that can be unlocked. Each God is unique and will come with its own set of powers and abilities. You will gain your God’s favors, they will give you their powers in battle or grant you the ability to become their avatar for a limited period of time. Gods won’t listen to your mortal callings every time.

You can choose between three different classes, each with its unique gears and weapons. Characters in Viking Vengeance are visually distinct and grant access to different skills and items that have to be used in combination with the God mechanic. These combinations allow you to build unique experiences every time and influence the way you approach encounters.

Each class will have the ability to execute the enemies after their health reaches a certain threshold. Executing enemies will either give you health back or extra blood currency which can be used for reviving, boosting your devotion or for other gains.

  • 3 Unique classes of Vikings to choose from with more coming up.
