Tips and tricks
- Sound tells you where an enemy is before you can see it. Headphones help more than you would expect.
- Prioritise the threat that will hurt you soonest, not the one that is closest or biggest. Fast enemies before slow ones, shooters before melee.
- If there is a reload, reload during quiet moments — never in the middle of a wave.
- Move between shots. Many shooters make you an easy target only when you stand in one place.
- Because this is a Kids game, younger children do better with a mouse or touch screen than with keyboard combinations.
Who will enjoy it
We would recommend Viking Escape to players who like precision, quick targeting and progressively tougher waves. A typical session is levels of a few minutes each, with longer runs in survival modes. How hard is it? Approachable at first, with a steep climb in the later waves. The controls are tap and drag based, which makes it comfortable on touch screens as well as with a mouse.
